LaPierre finally grows a pair!

[Teach]

I'm watching live coverage of the long-awaited NRA press conference, and Wayne LaPierre is making a lot of sense for the first time in a long time. Too bad it took a horrible tragedy to finally get him to show some backbone! Of course, all his common-sense suggestions for school security are going to be condemned and ignored anyway!

Watching now. I am still debating cracking the checkbook open.

If I do, it will be because I want to be a part of the voice that supports common sense - not because I want to further contribute to the fund for keeping wishy-washy Congressmen in line.

Tigman-- Part 1 is missing some critical stuff. That is not the whole thing. I missed the beginning, but when I tuned in, it was before when that Youtube video starts.

As opposed to sending them money, I got memberships for Mrs. Jerm and all three kids in the house. The NRA still gets the money and it beefs up the membership numbers.

Having read the transcript ( Thanks Jerm ), I have to say that I agree with him.

I too just read the transcript, including the comments of Asa Hutchinson. I am in total agreement. In fact I wish every member of congress could be sent a copy.

Media bias and the NRA’s not-so-new idea to put ‘COPS in Schools’
http://redalertpolitics.com/2012/12/...ps-in-schools/

After the school shooting at Columbine High School (which notably occurred five years before the federal assault weapons ban expired in 2004), then-President Bill Clinton proposed an additional $60 million in federal grants for the Department of Justice’s already existing “COPS in Schools” program. No one on the left denounced Clinton as “evil” at the time.

The COPS in Schools program continued to fund over $753 million in grants to place new police officers in schools through 2005. Although that program was discontinued during the Bush administration, a similar DOJ program called “Secure Our Schools” continued to provide school security grants until that program was discontinued by the Obama administration in 2012. Technically, President Obama was putting cops in schools long before the NRA proposed the idea.
