NBC host David Gregory on Sunday asked National Rifle Association (NRA) CEO Wayne LaPierre how many guns would be enough after the lobbyist called for more armed guards in response to last week’s shooting at the Washington Navy Yard — just as he had done after last year’s Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre.
“The NRA is calling for today layers of security around our military bases,” LaPierre said during an interview on Meet the Press. “And the other thing we need to take a look at is all these brave men and women that are trained in firearms that are signed up to serve in the military, they are largely disarmed on our military bases. We need to look at letting the men and women that know firearms and are trained in them do what they do best, which is protect and survive.”NBC host confronts LaPierre’s call for more ‘good guys with guns’: ‘Where does it stop?’
the military bases are filled with armed personnel, and yet the killings take place and if there were a shootout is the collateral damage that could occur any less acceptable than the attempt to stop the aggressor?
