      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

          Sorry but since Columbine and Sandy Hook, I see no difference. Stoneman Douglas occurred. Things cannot remain status quo. Something must change. Armed guards might be it given de-escalation training. Arming teachers who were not taught and trained to de-escalate is not it.

          What does autism have to do with fguns? I am guess you neither know what it is or have ever encountered anyone with it. And what do ADD and ADHD have to do with guns. Neither create a propensity for vioence

          Stop the @NRA and their disgusting agenda from holding American hostage! They don't even represent the majority of gun owners. They are pure evil and it's time for good people to stand up to this horrid organization.

          W. LaPierre is not about safety of innocent lives, he is about money under the disguise of second amendment. an 18yr old can buy guns but not alcohol? Limiting age till 21...less money, arming teacher more money. Selling Assault weapons...big money. The🧞‍♀️is out w/our young.
