The nation's largest gun-rights lobby (NRA) is calling for armed police officers to be posted in every American school to stop the next killer "waiting in the wings." The National Rifle Association broke its silence Friday on last week's shooting rampage at a Connecticut elementary school that left 26 children and staff dead. "The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun."
Former Education Secretary Bill Bennett:
"And I'm not so sure -- and I'm sure I'll get mail for this -- I'm not so sure I wouldn't want one person in a school armed, ready for this kind of thing," Bennett, who served as education secretary under Ronald Reagan. "The principal lunged at this guy. The school psychologist lunged at the guy. It has to be someone who's trained, responsible. But, my god, if you can prevent this kind of thing, I think you ought to."

Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam (R) & State Sen. Frank Niceley (R)
Gov. Haslam says he will consider a Tennessee plan to secretly arm and train some teachers.
"These guys are obviously cowards anyway and if someone starts shooting back, theyβre going to take cover, maybe go ahead and commit suicide like most of them have," says Nicely. No so nice now, are we?

Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas)
"I wish to God she had had an m-4 in her office, locked up so when she heard gunfire, she pulls it out ... and takes him out and takes his head off before he can kill those precious kids," Gohmert said of slain principal Dawn Hochsprung.

Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R)
At a Tea Party event Monday night, Perry praised a Texas school system that allows some staff to carry concealed weapons to work and encouraged local school districts to make their own policies.

Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell (R) "If people were armed, not just a police officer, but other school officials that were trained and chose to have a weapon, certainly there would be an opportunity to stop an individual trying to get into the school,"
Florida State Rep. Dennis Baxley (R): βWe need to be more realistic at looking at this policy," he said. "In our zealousness to protect people from harm weβve created all these gun-free zones and what weβve inadvertently done is weβve made them a target. A helpless target is exactly what a deranged person is looking for where they cannot be stopped.β
