i never said law enforcement is untrustworthy, i am saying that having them stationed in front of schools makes them primary targets in a shooting, and has not been shown to prevent massacres. in the case of the NYPD taking out a gunman in front of the empire state building, 9 people were injured by police gunfire. highly trained shooters cannot rely on a magic bullet only hitting their intended target and nothing else. when those other bystanders are 5 year old children, the risk is far beyond the reward. having people like chris christie and other prominent republicans in office denigrate the NRA's proposal suggests it is not as moderate nor sane as you would try to make it out to be.

at its heart, the NRA is nowadays nothing more than a shill for gun manufacturers. at one point they were about proper gun training and responsibility but they've gone beyond that and only care about making more money for the gun makers and nothing else. in this regard they are the right wing version of PETA and have the same level of lunacy with regards to public outreach and policy. PETA could also suggest something that might make sense, but like the NRA, at the end of the day they are still only concerned with their own self-promotion and no longer stand for the principles which they used to promote quite successfully.
