Posted: Updated:

At a news conference in Washington, D.C. the National Rifle Association announced their National School Shield program.

As a part of the program the NRA suggests that every school have an armed security guard.

"The NRA is going to bring all of its knowledge, dedication and resources to develop a model National School Shield Emergency Response Program for every school that wants it," said NRA CEO Wayne LaPierre. "From armed security to building design and access control to information technology to student and teacher training, this multi-faceted program will be developed by the very best experts in their fields."

A transcript of the comments from LaPierre and Asa Hutchinson, the leader of the program, can be viewed at the link below.
