I have returned with further information. I was wrong, the individual was not a member of the Brady Campaign but rather an activist with the Million Mom March........

I apologize for the misinformation.

But what the N.R.A. proposed would expand the use of armed officers nationwide and make greater use of not just police officers, but armed volunteers — including retired police officers and reservists — to patrol school grounds

This issue was addressed back in the '90's and the funding was approved under the Clinton administration........Obviously the monies have gone elsewhere........

The NRA has really been shooting itself in the foot (no pun intended) lately, and could do more harm than good on this issue.

I just have to say it. I don't think you know WTF you're talking about.

Hello, Colonel! Nice to see you. Never say never! I’ve been IBTZ three or four times.

Well, hello, my dear! Nice to be seen.

“Never” is a relative term but I suspect it’s only a matter of time here.

No, the guy I was talking about was a very well known columnist for a major Chicago newspaper, and a very serious anti-gunner. This happened some time ago... Before the Brady Law was passed, I believe.

My liberal acquaintance says, “These facts aren’t inconvenient to me. They are irrelevant. There is no good reason for these kinds of weapons to be in the hands of ordinary citizens.”

Must be nice to live in a world where facts are irrelevant.

Tell him there is no good reason to murder innocent, defenseless unborn babies, either.

I pinged Admin Moderator, but no one has taken any action yet. And we can’t play with the future zottee because he or she scooted after the OP.

Maybe Admin will catch up with his pings soon.
