More status quo from National Rifle Control, Inc., aka the LaPierre Center to Prevent Gun Violence:
"Shortly after the Minnesota school shootings, [NRA president-elect Sandra Froman] said, 'I'm not saying that that means every teacher should have a gun or not, but what I am saying is we need to look at all the options at what will truly protect the students.'
"NRA Chief Executive Officer Wayne LaPierre clarified the following week that the NRA is not advocating arming teachers and supports the federal law that bars most guns from schools.
"On Tuesday, Froman seemed to retreat from her initial comments.
"'The only people that ought to have firearms in the schools are law enforcement and trained security personnel,' she said."
Well, we knew that was coming.

Within two days, and to their credit, Science & Spirit deleted the sentence about "child" gun deaths.
