Today they proposed putting armed police in all schools saying the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is by having a good guy with a gun. Then the statement went on to say we need a national data base of the mentally ill.
I suspect that will only lead to crazy people collecting data on other crazy people and mentally ill people with guns patrolling our schools on the look out for mentally ill people coming to school with guns.

I have long support the 2nd Amendment, but never contributed to the NRA. They have a very narrow agenda that is contrary to good gun ownership.

I think they should have come out strongly with a gun education program, a gun training program, with a call for exploration of the term, and requirements for a militia.
We can have a more secure gun policy in this country, but it has to start with the people involved. Today's statement was just absolute nonsense.
