NRA chief: If putting armed police in schools is crazy, ‘then call me crazy’

Guns in schools didn’t prevent Va. Tech or Columbine. They didn’t hasten the end of either massacre either. Both ended only when the gunmen committed suicide - and in both cases they had sufficient ammo and weapons to continue their carnage for a significant amount of time.

Neither died because the good guys had guns. It was the bad guy blowing their own brains out that did.

But that means we should have armed guards at all schools - as if that’s sufficient deterrent. Moreover, it’s not as though gunmen don’t commit rampages at all manner of public and private venue.
