Obama and the NRA agree on something

They both feel that adding security guards to schools is a good idea. I haven't seen this discussed here.

the NRA wants to arm teachers. There is a big difference between having security personnel in our schools and having schools full of armed teachers. Big difference.

... while there are plenty of people saying teachers should be able to carry concealed the NRA said armed security guards.

I don't believe that the President and the NRA are in total sync on the guards. I don't agree with most armed guard scenarios either
