In reply to the discussion: So. What are the opinions of this distinguished forum about the Exceedingly Honorable NRA's ad [View all]Glaug-Eldare
(1,089 posts)9. I partly agree with it, and partly disagree.
I agree with the core message -- that it's hypocritical for wealthy gun control advocates to place their children in schools with armed guard while demanding that no armed security be available for the 99%'s kids. It does say to me that they consider their children more valuable and worthy of protection than ours. NRA should've made it clearer that they aren't talking about the Secret Service -- they're talking about private security guards hired by elite private schools.
As for the "blah blah tax and spend liberals blah blah" Republican crap, it makes me glad I'm not paying Norquist and Nugent anymore.

OP
If your child was kidnapped, it would be a terrible thing, but would it jeopardize national security?

personally, I don't have a problem with making our schools at least as secure as our airports.

And what if Romney had won and the Secret Service had to cover his 5 sons?
