We protect our president, our celebrities, and our airports with armed gunmen; yet our most precious commodity, our children, have been left in the hands of selfless educators willing to serve as human shields and a brave boy who knows karate and volunteers to “lead the way out.”

The Sandy Hook Elementary shooting is yet another wake-up call that our school children deserve something more and something soon.

Friday, National Rifle Association (NRA) Vice President Wayne LaPierre said it’s time for parents and this country to get involved in a plan of absolute protection. He said, “The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun, is a good guy with a gun.”

The NRA is recommending armed security at every school in America as soon as kids return from holiday break. LaPierre announced NRA funding of the National School Shield Program, which will focus on providing the highest level of security to protect our children
