The recent school shootings have prompted the predictable tsunami of demands for further citizen disarmament.
Gun Owners of America has long condemned so-called "gun-free school zones," as has Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership, and now the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms.
Why, at this posting, is their no official statement on any of the NRA websites in response to this turmoil? After all, they tell us they're the leaders in the Second Amendment movement, and they have the membership and resources to prove it.
The only statements we have on the Association's official position include the one Wayne LaPierre issued at the annual meeting in 1999:
It's past time for NRA members to repudiate LaPierre and Froman's positions and demand they change them to conform to the clear "shall not be infringed" intent of the Framers. That means there's an "or else" if they don't.

First, we believe in absolutely gun-free, zero-tolerance, totally safe schools. That means no guns in America's schools, period ... with the rare exception of law enforcement officers or trained security personnel.and president Sandra Froman's recent backpedaling:
The only people that ought to have firearms in the schools are law enforcement and trained security personnel.
