A task force launched by the National Rifle Association after the Dec. 14 school shooting in Newtown, Conn., has come back with a report that recommends the creation of programs that give additional weapons training to school resource officers as well as "selected and designated school personnel" who could then carry arms.
The task force is also recommending to states that haven't already got such laws on the books that they consider changing their statutes to allow trained school personnel, including teachers, to be armed while on the job.
Former Republican Rep. Asa Hutchinson, R-Ark., who led the task force, outlined its findings and recommendations on Tuesday at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. After his appearance, copies of the report and a summary of its recommendations and findings were posted online.Read the rest of the story HERE and view Hutchinson's full presentation below:

I've been a big fan of Hutchinson since the late 1990's, when he helped lead the impeachment effort in Congress against the Serial Rapist and Perjurer-in-Chief, Bill Clinton.
The NRA is well-served by Hutchinson. He is a man of great integrity, intelligence and courage.
