A question to Wayne LaPierre

You asked how many Bostonians wished they had a gun two weeks ago.

What I am asking is how many NRA members would have lunged, unarmed, at the sound of shooting, the way the principal of Sandy Hook Elementary did. For which she, and the other teachers were awarded the Citizens medal of honor.

"Two of the educators honored, principal Dawn Hochsprung and school psychologist Mary Sherlach, are believed to have lunged, unarmed, at the gunman to try to stop him. Another, teacher Victoria Soto, reportedly hid children in a closet. Lauren Rousseau read to her students as a gunman invaded the school, doing her best to keep them calm. Rachel D'Avino and Anne Marie Murphy were said to have wrapped their arms around the children as chaos ensued."

You, LaPierre, Beck, Palin and your new nut president are cowards. It is easy to stand at a safe distance and just pull a trigger, the way Adam Lanza did. It is entirely different thing to protect children at the sound of gun fire.
