The National Rifle Association (NRA) has stepped up to the plate to prevent future attacks on schools. Wayne LaPierre, executive vice of the National Rifle Association, stated the NRA’s position. He said, “The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.” Further, “I call on Congress today, to act immediately to appropriate whatever is necessary to put armed police officers in every single school in this nation.” I endorse this idea, and the way to pay for it is to tax guns. In 2010, there were 98,8...

Mr. Monday, you evidently have very little knowledge of firearms and I question your common sense. You say you’re a gun owner, but you don’t sound like a true gun owner. You must be an anti-gun liberal. First off, the worst school massacre in U.S. history didn’t even happen with a gun. In 1927, Andrew Kehoe blew up a school with explosives; 45 dead, 38 were children. Unfortunately these bad events have been happening since the beginning of time. The first school shooting happened July 26, 1764. Most gun owners, like me, b...
