I fail to see the racism.

Its not racism..I think Dimitris translated a little off... its about the fact that they would use Obama's children to make a point. Any person who is the president of the USA and their family will always require protection to the utmost degree. Comparing Obama's kids security needs to the average american is simply idiotic, and anyone who falls for this stupid stunt should have their heads examined.

I was just thinking about how low the NRA is going...

There is an NRA video that injects Obama's daughters into the debate... “Are the president’s kids more important than yours?” the video asks. “Then why is he skeptical about putting armed security in our schools when his kids are protected by armed guards at their school?”

How pathetic.

Makes me wonder if Obama's girls hear about this kind of thing and get scared at all. I cant believe the NRA would use them like that to try to prove a point. A terrible point too. :?

why won't he protectour schoolchildren ask for copsin schools

use president kids to make a point the same time we all know that any president at any country families are targets cos for sure have more enemies than any other citizen of the country

What is wrong with universal background checks? Can anyone tell me why that is a bad thing or are people just We also had an assualt weapons ban at one time so why not go back to that? Because gun manufacturers won't sell as many weapons. As a result, their lobby group the NRA is trying to scare gun owners into thinking the gov'munt is trying to take ALL their guns away and repeal the 2nd ammendment. :fp:

so using this logic, Republican are also hypocritical since they have health care provided by the government but don't want citizens to have that.

again no where does the president ever talk about banning all guns but you keep saying that.

You are saying he revised the third bullet point and reinstated the lifetime protection?

"Former presidents and their spouses for their lifetimes, except when the spouse remarries. In 1997, Congressional legislation became effective limiting Secret Service protection to former presidents for a period of not more than 10 years from the date the former president leaves office"

For those who want armed guards in every school -

Many school districts, at least in Texas are going broke and have had to lay off teachers. Where is the money going to come from to hire trained, competent, and armed security for each school plus equipment? Aren't the republicans the one who usually want to cut spending? Plano ISD, which is just one of many Dallas suburbs, has over 70 schools. Is the NRA going to pay for this? Would you accept higher taxes to pay for this?

How shortsighted is it to think this is a bad idea when we live in a world with global terrorism? How juicy a target would an unprotected former president be? Seriously...get over it.

Because that is what the NRA is saying and now many republicans believe it! On my facebook, on news article comments, people keep spouting off that Obama is trying to ban all guns. They believe it somehow!

Yes, this past December, he reversed a 1997 law that limited the protection for former presidents and their non-remarried wives to 10 years after leaving office, and made it lifetime, like it was prior to 1997. I feel anyone willing to run this country deserves at least that much. Otherwise, maybe some nut case with their legally owned gun would have an easy go of it in a few years if they wanted to go after GWB.

It's not lifelong since neither George W. Bush nor President Obama have presently lived past the 10 years past their leaving office yet. In fact, this hasn't cost a cent yet, and may not.

another good question. will school have the same budget they have now to pay for these armed guards or will school boards have to make decision such as we may have to have fewer teachers so that we can afford to pay for the security?
