Wouldn't this be one of those, "unfunded mandates", that the right is always screaming about, if the states have to do it, but there is no funding mechanism?

It's how they see the world, winners and losers, might makes right, total warfare in every sphere.

By their very silence the GOP supports the gun-mad police state welcomed by the NRA.

The NRA is so blinded by their gun lust they don't even recognize a police state when they create one and they see phantoms of police states behind every tree where none exist.

I think the GOP's silence actually tells us that even THEY think the NRA is off base here. They're too scared of the NRA's power to say anything, but the fact that they're not endorsing the NRA stance is, for them, as close as they can come to repudiation. The NRA is really hanging themselves out to dry with this one.

To their credit, Ron Paul did come out and say that what the NRA's suggesting is a step towards having a police state, but not even his own party really cares what he thinks anyway.
Nothing new here. We already know their party runs on hypocrisy.

36. "Security" in American Public Schools
Sat Dec 29, 2012, 04:22 PM
Dec 2012

American public schools use a variety of security measures to protect students and staff. Almost 94 per cent of U.S. elementary schools lock their doors during the school day to restrict access to campuses. Some 84 per cent of high schools, 73 per cent of middle schools, and 51 per cent of elementary schools use security cameras to monitor their schools, according to the U.S. Department of Education. Increasing numbers of security guards are in place at U.S. public schools as a result of gun crime with metal detectors also in use across the country. Yet despite security measures school shootings in America are still common place. On February 10 2012 a 14-year-old from New Hampshire called Hunter Mack shot himself in the face at Walpole Elementary School cafeteria. Two weeks later student T.J. Lane, 17, allegedly opened fire at Chardon High School, Ohio, killing two and injuring three. Seven were killed and 10 injured at a shooting at Oikos University, in Oakland, California on 2 April. One L. Goh, 43, a Korean national surrendered to police. Police arrested 15-year-old Robert Gladden and charged him as an adult after a student opened fire on the first day of school, at Perry Hall High School, Baltimore, in August. The 15-year-old allegedly opened fire before being rushed by teachers. Teachers again stopped a shooter on September 7 when a 14-year-old was tackled to the floor after shooting at the ceiling at Normal Community High School, Illinois. On September 26 eight grader Cade Poulos killed himself at Stillwater Junior High School in Oklahoma.

The GOP would be crying for Obama's head on a poker. The GOP follow each other like flies on warm shit.
