“Today’s nightmarish and irresponsible proposal from NRA Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre reflects a grotesque vision of the world and a willingness to sacrifice children’s healthy development for the sake of protecting civilian access to military weapons. It also betrays his complete disconnection from the realities of K-12 education and healthy child development. True security is grounded in healthy communities of respect, protected by common-sense regulations and real civic responsibility outside the schoolhouse doors, not by armed camps within them.”
