So let me get this straight. Let me understand this.

The NRA is composed of right-wing gun owners that, in general, defend their right to own guns because of the possible tyranny of the powers that be: the government. So, in order to protect themselves from the government, they arm themselves, and in turn need to have their children protected by that same government from the armed individuals who can get guns to protect themselves from the government. Is this right?

And, I'm going to make an assumption here, that many NRA members and gun-owners in general are supporters of the tea party and/or proponents of small government. So, in turn, they want the government to impose a new system where almost 100,000 cops are put into public schools all around the country, which would cost close to $6 billion.

I'm not convinced the NRA even believes what they're saying, and I think they realize there's no chance of it ever happening, and all they're doing is making it appear to the general public like they really do give a #### when they don't.
