Hi combjelly; Re: "But the guards. Like the NRA is claiming that is armed. And they aren't unless the school is lying about it." No, silly, the NRA did not say that Sidwell Friends guards were armed. It said that the president's kids "are protected by armed guards at their school." Here, listen to the ad yourself: outsidethebeltway.com "Armed guards" doesn't mean "school guards". It means "armed guards". And are Secret Service agents "armed guards"? If I look at their website, I quickly find that their duty is to "protect" the immediate family of the President. That sure seems like a "guard" to me. Maybe you'd like it better if the NRA had instead said that the President's kids "are protected by armed protectors at their school," but I think the way they wrote it reads better and is equally accurate. -- Carl
