    NRA's Wayne LaPierre addresses the CPAC conference and calls for armed guards in schools. https://usat.ly/2oihr1B  "To stop a bad guy with a gun it takes a good guy with a gun," he added, to a standing ovation.

        Wayne LaPierre also accused gun control advocates and the media of taking advantage of victims' grief to push new gun restrictions. https://usat.ly/2CD2mfq pic.twitter.com/RWQjMLIK2b

        There were two armed guards in Parkland. And 17 people are dead. Find a different narrative. This is a lie.

        LeDouche. While it is Trump-childish to mangle names as though it is about 8 yr olds, (Dumb Donald’s emotional age), this one does have a certain ring to it. Some, just do, I guess. 🤭

        When used sparingly, a good childish, mangled name can be effective.

        Gun control advocates are usually uninformed about the intracacies of a firearm and may not know the difference between. Rimfire and centerfire Automatic, semi-automatic and fully automatic Supressors and silencers Banana clips and extended clips Responsible gun ownership...

        Should respect the rights of non gun owners. I can LEGALLY (Legally) purchase and obtain a fully automatic weapon with silencer and flash supressor. Do I have one, no. Do I think Johnny lawless should be able to obtain it off the black market, hell no!

        Second amendment debate needs to differentiate between civilian gun ownership and law enforcement exemptions while on duty. Police aren’t going to face a deranged gang banger or school shooter with a revolver from 1853 which is what pro gun advocates worry about.

        The most affected groups for gun restrictions are hunters and they put safety first. The don’t want someone shooting off a buch of rounds in the forest hoping they hit a deer.

        The kids want armed guards or 👨🏿‍🏫 👩🏻‍🏫 instead of having to deal with their own security on top of dealing with their studies. This is an excellent decision and supported by all parties at the moment.
