Clinton didn't say it first. The idea of SROs has been around for long time...long before Clinton. I don't think LaPierre was trying to take credit for coming up with a new idea. I think he was trying to say that it's the only idea that will work. Yeah, it's expensive. But so is life. The government wastes plenty of money. We could easily find the funds to pay for this out of some other bureaucratic budget. But it's not about that. Liberals will never go for more guns in schools because they just don't like guns.

I don't know if needs to necessarily be an armed police officer, but we need armed and trained individuals in schools who are ready to assume the responsibility as potential first responders to an armed criminal in the school.
