I'm right there with you, but it didn't sound like they were advocating the military itself in schools, just retired and inactive reserves/NG as a source of people with firearms training.

Crazy backlash in the mainstream press. Good for the NRA for doing the right thing! The CNN editors are going crazy, they all thought the NRA was going to support an AWB
Yes I did watch. If you haven't a clue as to why most Americans are going to be appalled by this guy and the present day NRA, I'm afraid it's no use my trying to explain it to ya. Just sit tight and vote for the American in 2016.![[rofl]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/013.gif "ROFL [rofl]")
Hmm, there must have been a different speech that I didn't see

I already had one person post on FB that the NRA had a nerve to suggested having security at schools. She followed with "what's next?! Everyone walking around armed at the mall or a movie theater?! When will this end?!!"
In which I replied, "Not that I am an NRA supporter or anything, but whenever I go to the mall or the theater, my gun is on me...whats the problem?"

Only 250 posts in so someone might have said this. He could not limit his response to logic and a solution. America the stupid needs a villain. Right now the left is vilifying guns and gun owners. While I don't agree with Video games and Hollywood, he gave people a target for their anger. Without this no matter how logical and rational some people who could be swayed by emotion would be missed.
Rule #1, people are stupid. You can't forget that and he did not.

In case you haven't noticed the sky IS falling and the linch mob is mobilizing!
I think Wayne did an awesome job putting a solid plan on the table. The ball is in the lib-tards court now, if they don't agree with protecting our children RIGHT NOW then it gives all the US a place to point the finger when (god forbid) the next tragedy happens.
Also:
I heard on the radio tonight that a township in NJ is already implementing it.

Least they're willing to discuss it, all you have done is make a vague comment and refused to elaborate.

Why don't your support the NRA? I'm sure your liberal friend took your comment to mean that you think the NRA is too extreme and of course you don't like assault rifles.

Some anti's aren't as stubborn as others, but ones like this you just let it go. They're afraid of guns and/or want world peace where unicorns and dragons coalesce and go to the theaters together and watch Gone With the Wind. I've wasted enough time trying to deal with people like that so I put up a FB status one day just telling anyone who isn't pro 2A to unfriend me.
Soo you anti-NRA or something too? I nominate you troll of the year BTW.

The problem is that a large (mentally challenged) segment of our population can't get beyond the psychological hurdle that our society has disintegrated to the point that the security and well being of our children requires guns in schools. You would have thought that Sandy Hook would be the "tipping point" for the obvious! For the IQ impaired, there are already Police in most high schools throughout the country. As was suggested, perhaps we divert a few billion away from the countless foreign boondoggles that yield ZERO and do what's right for our childern?
"Identifiable guards are of very limited use in these cases.They will be the first person killed.Costly & not effec"--tweet by John Lot, Jr. , author More Guns Less Crime who appears on Fox "News"
The armed agents on call at Colunbine were unable to stop the carnage simply because they were outgunned. Armed police on the Virgina Tech. campus were unable to stop 32 deaths.
The cost of putting one armed police officer in every public school in the US is estimated to be about $4.1 billion based on the present average yearly salary for police officers based on Bureau of Labor Statistics figures. One armed officer is not going to prevent much or anything. A shooter with half a brain will take the officer out before he knows what's happening to him. As Lot said, first killed, costly, not effective.
Of the 30,000 + shooting deaths in the US last year, the majority did not occur in or near schools. Shootings have occurred at religious institutions, shopping malls, a military base, civil center and a political event in AZ. The issue for those outside the NRA and their knee jerk supporters is gun violence, not just school shootings.
Even a troglodyte like Teddy Nugent finally got what he deserved. http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/12/18/discovery-channel-kicks-ted-nugent-to-the-curb/
Can we have a show of hands reality check here. How many posters supporting Mittens actually thought he was going to win? Ramble on in your closed world boys.

From our lovely Mayor...
"Statement of Mayor Thomas M. Menino in response to NRA press conference:
"Statement of Mayor Thomas M. Menino in response to NRA press conference:
There is an outpouring of voices demanding real change to make our communities safer. Clearly the NRA's leadership is not one of them. What they announced today is not a plan, but a ploy to bring more guns into our neighborhoods. I don't believe the answer to gun violence is more guns. The American people are tired of the same buzzwords and rhetoric that have moved this debate nowhere and put lives at risk. It's time for a common sense national gun policy. It's time to take action on background checks, assault weapons, high capacity magazines, missing mental health records and closing private sales loopholes. There is so much work to do; we don't have time for rehashed and tired ideas. The American people and the families of the 34 people killed every day by gun violence demand nothing less.

Another a**h***. He's just one of many, using the the bolded keywords to further demonize guns. Mumbles, get the shit out of your mouth and maybe you can talk right.
Nah, I doubt it. The ball hit them square in the face and ricocheted back to our court. The news coverage and headlines that I have seen are exactly as Wayne said they would be: "NRA says solution in more guns in schools!!!"
best one i've heard yet:
edit:. oh, this too:
+1
Every anti is laughing at us now.
Just before i heard the video game thing i was actually considering joining, I'm now going to have to rethink that decision.
Very Hypocritical.... Maybe they were being sarcastic???

Heck of a time to be sarcastic if so. Anyone taking a pro 2a position is going to immediately be lumped in with the NRA in the media, so they just made us all look like idiots.
Given that they took a week to respond, they should have thought this out better. Already they're getting nailed about the 2 armed officers at Columbine, didn't they research that?
It'd have been better had they just aired the Chuck Woolery video for the media.

What NRA should've done is a speech like Suzanna Hupp's, that every place you keep lawful gun owners out by statue is a high-risk location of this type of tragedy. Every politician who voted YES on GFSZA and its state variants has blood of innocent on his/her hands.

Why not, we as gun owners have been run over by that bus all week. We are not responsible for any of what happened. What's good for the goose and all that.
Leaving the video game issue to the side for a moment, the need here was to offer a solution that does not involve further legislation. I would much rather have the GFZs lifted because it is much cheaper, but this is a way to try an avoid legislation. The media and the left (apologies for being redundant) would be going even more ape shit over letting average citizens in the schools with guns.
The NRAs real job now is to lobby (and threaten to ruin their election chances next time) politicians and Speaker Boehner in particular so that no further infringements occur.
