from our friends at PA branch of Mayors Against Illegal Guns on 12/21:
LancasterMayor J. Richard Gray issued the following statement in response to the NRA’spress conference minutes after a shooting spree in Blair County killed fourpeople, including the gunman, and injured three state troopers:
“Today, ina bizarre and chilling press conference, the NRA’s Wayne LaPierre offered aplan to install armed guards in every U.S. elementary school. ‘The only thingthat stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun,’ he said. But he wasdead wrong. Just before that press conference took place in the nation’scapital, a gunman shot and killed three people, and wounded three StateTroopers in Blair County, Pennsylvania. It’s never been more clear to me thatthe gun lobby’s vision for this country is not just misguided; it poses adanger to all of us. There are 12,000 gun murders every year in the U.S. Tostem that violence, we need to require a criminal background check for everygun sale and keep military style weapons off our streets. But the absolute lastthing we need is more guns near our first graders. If that’s the NRA’s topsolution, then I’d recommend that responsible gun owners in Pennsylvania find themselvesa more rational organization to support.”
