So NRA figurehead and nutbar Wayne LaPierre says the way to protect America's children is to put an armed guard in every school. Brilliant idea, Wayne! Assuming this guard does not spend 6-8 hours every day poised in a state of cat-like readiness, the next shooter can just start his killing spree by walking up to him and putting a bullet in the back of his head - and then no doubt the NRA will recommend we have two armed guards in every school. Then three. How about four? Hell, why not a dozen? Why not an Army platoon? Why not have guard towers with fixed machine gun fortifications and a panopticon camera monitoring room? Basically reduce the actual education budget to zero and spend the entire funding on making sure that the lethal power created and proliferated by organizations like the NRA doesn't result in the mass murder of America's children. Better idea: We tell the NRA to go fuck itself and make clear that people's lives are more important than a fringe minority's fears, obsessions, and psychotic delusions of persecution.
