Welcome back one week after the new town tragedy the National Rifle Association.

Broke its silence.

-- this proposal.

Five years ago.

After the Virginia Tech tragedy.

When I said.

We should put armed security.

In every school.

The media.

Call me crazy.

But what if what if when Adam -- has started shooting his way into sandy hook elementary school.

Last Friday.

He'd been confronted.

By qualified.

Armed security.

Some are still in fact calling him crazy.

Is arming security guards and teachers like we do airline pilots the answer let's ask Robert Maclean a former air Marshal.

Good morning to you sir is this the answer putting an armed security guard and every school -- the United States.

The warning first of all my heart pours out to you all the victims I got a little girls and third and fourth grade.

But.

It's partially correct and it's partially -- The the -- part it's it looks like the NRA's proposal.

Is a lot like exactly after it happened after nine elevenths.

Immediately.

They grabbed any federal agent think it achieved -- on the planes.

And later on they put together.

Really poorly in lamented program.

To you arm pilots.

And not very many volunteered for the program.

-- now I can't see.

The reality that look in his right in some regard if someone shows up at a school and there's an armed principal or an armed guard clearly that shooting it's not gonna happen but -- Every school the United States is completely unfeasible for starters it is impractical financially.

Both planes that have had.

I TDs on board both of them did -- have.

Our marshals on around and I don't think there are any armed pilots on him either so -- it's.

The air Marshal program Malone is it's a billion dollar program.

And the armed pilot -- program is a lot of the pilots believe it's.

It's a real difficult there's too much to you.

To qualify for.

They have to go on their own time so just a very few amount of -- wants you so.

-- from the very beginning.

I was calling for.

Putting him.

A weapon on every aircraft.

And that way every aircraft is protected.

You could consider like a modified shotgun.

I think.

A similar situation can happen in every school but nobody is gonna be able affords you hire police war.

Even in the arms to keep private security for every.

For every aircraft that is that is certainly -- to -- -- -- -- former Marshall thanks for being with us this morning we appreciate.
