(Reuters) - The powerful U.S. gun rights lobby went on the offensive on Friday arguing that schools should have armed guards, on a day that Americans remembered the victims of the Newtown, Connecticut school massacre with a moment of silence.

"The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun," said Wayne LaPierre, chief executive of the National Rifle Association, noting that banks and airports are patrolled by armed guards, while schools typically are not.

His remarks - in which he charged that the news media and violent video games shared blame for the second-deadliest school shooting in U.S. history - were twice interrupted by protesters who unfurled signs and shouted "stop the killing."

Speaking in Washington, LaPierre urged lawmakers to station armed police officers in all schools by the time students return from the Christmas break in January. LaPierre did not take questions from reporters.

It can be IF that bad guy isn't wearing Kevlar from head-to-toe.

Like in the last two recent mass shooting incidents.

If he can stall the killer long enough to allow people to escape, thats a good thing. Or maybe they need better locks on the doors at the school. Doors that cant just be kicked open by a demon so if something does happen the school can go into lockdown mode and seal the kids behind stronger doors. That seems like the best solution to me. Enhanced locks and trained protocols to get kids to safety quickly.

:laff:

Breh, stalling aint good enough when we talking about lives on the line. Like dude said, these shootings arem't just happening with guys walking up in plain clothes... they rocking bullet protection. Let them get shot at once and its not a killing blow and you've gone from crazed gunman to enraged gunman. Bullets will be everywhere, could make the situation worse.

Maybe every school needs a minigun to ward off such well armored mercenaries :troll:

I did, i'm just not buying it. Setting up huge security doors poses fire hazards just in case an internal disaster occurs. It's hard enough to get out the bank with those stupid double doors, you thinking that a bunch of screaming kids gonna make it easier?

And that still doesn't solve the issue. This last killing had a guy walk in, murk out, then kill himself. If he know there's gonna be issues getting in, and he doesn't care about his own life, he'll just murk them outside before they get in the class rooms. In call of duty terms this is called a choke point.

In short, more guns are a problem. We don't need even more guns
