NRA NEWS RELEASE
NRA ^ | December 18, 2012

NRA STATEMENT

The National Rifle Association of America is made up of four million moms and dads, sons and daughters – and we were shocked, saddened and heartbroken by the news of the horrific and senseless murders in Newtown. Out of respect for the families, and as a matter of common decency, we have given time for mourning, prayer and a full investigation of the facts before commenting. The NRA is prepared to offer meaningful contributions to help make sure this never happens again. The NRA is planning to hold a major news conference in the Washington, DC area on Friday, December 21. Details will be released to the media at the appropriate time.

These contributions should be to offer training geared towards protecting schools with firearms and other comprehensive security procedures.
Any contribution in the firm of making concessions to the left will leave the NRA with about half their members gone (hopefully to Gun Owners of America) overnight.

My guess:

Eddie Eagle firearm safety training for all grade schools

Advisers & sponsors for bb-gun/ air rifle clubs in grade schools

Advisers & sponsors for rifle & pistol clubs in high schools

Consultants to help advise congressional committees on appropriate mental health reform

Pledges to help subsidize the firearms training and pistol purchase of any public/private school teacher.

NRA pledge to work with congress on getting better coordination with mental health agencies and FBI instant check data base.

i hope they publicly comment that their contributions should not be alone and suggest a balanced approach asking lawmakers to look at the daily dose of violence which proliferates from hollywood and the entertainment industry who profit from it...

I need a gun and ammo, and I need to learn how to use it. I’m afraid that by the time I get the money I won’t be able to get one.

You can buy a Mosin-Nagant rifle for about $100.
