The NRA has already created a slickly packaged program to put guns in schools, complete with its own nifty logo: The National School Shield.

Former Congressman Asa Hutchinson has apparently been put in charge of this effort: Hutchinson’s speech today.

One of the first responsibilities I learned at Homeland Security was the importance of protecting our nation’s
critical infrastructure. And there is nothing more critical to our nation’s well being than our children’s safety.
They are this country’s future and her most precious resource.
We all understand that our children should be safe in school But it is also essential that the parents have
confidence in that safety. As a result of the tragedy in Newtown, Connecticut, that confidence has been shattered.
Assurance of school safety must be restored with a sense of urgency.
That is why I am grateful that the NRA has asked me to lead a team of security experts to assist our schools, parents
and communities.
I took this assignment on one condition: That my team of experts will be independent and will be guided solely by
what are the best security solutions for the safety of our children while at school.
