That's a lame analogy. I would hire guards for my kid... if my family was receiving death threats. AND.. since a Presidents family has historically received said threats in the past AND even been assassinated... Well... the NRA appears to be really reaching in this "ad".
what gets me is the NRA points fingers to culture of violence and away from guns, but WTH do they think they're promoting ? Guns ARE violence... and all their mouthpieces display violent attitudes in the Press...
NRA - you have met the enemy and it's YOU. Heal thyself !!

We had a school incident yesterday in the 8th grade of one of the upper-class suburban schools--a surprise since the expectation is that this kind of thing will happen in the city schools, where it never has. Anyway, a kid brought a knife to the school and stabbed a class mate four times. The victim is in stable condition. There was another incident reported in today's paper, a shooting at a community college in KY--two dead.
The difference? The kid here had a knife, not a gun.

Yeah had a libertarian friend make the argument about how many stabbings there were; "why don't we ban knives?"... actually only 13% of murders are stabbings while 68% are firearms.
BUT beyond that . . . how many Mass Murders are done with knives?
Heard of any drive by stabbings ?
Excuses, excuses, excuses !!
Sorry to hear of the incident - I hope the student recovers quickly. The other kid must have been listening to Rush or Fox too much ! (Actually sorry for him too- he really F-ed up. )
