The NRA Is the Worst

Of course: NRA TV Ad: Obama 'Elitist Hypocrite' Because His Daughters Have Armed Guards.

The National Rifle Association [which has called on Congress to put armed police in every public school in the nation following the Newtown shooting, a move rejected by many teacher groups] is amping up the political rhetoric in advance of President Obama's gun violence prevention announcement scheduled for Wednesday. On Tuesday, the NRA posted a video on its website accusing the president of being "an elitist hypocrite" because his daughters have armed guards at school. CNN reported Tuesday night that the video "is running on the Sportsman Channel, a cable network focused on outdoors programming such as hunting and fishing."

..."Are the president's kids more important than yours? Then why is he skeptical about putting armed security in our schools when his kids are protected by armed guards at their school?" the NRA ad's narration reads. "Mr. Obama demands the wealthy pay their fair share of taxes, but he's just another elitist hypocrite when it comes to a fair share of security."

"Fair share." Sure. Because every child in the US is under the same exact threat as the children of presidents.
