The President of the National Rifle Association is speaking out on comments made by the organization days after the shooting. Last week, the Executive Vice President blamed the mentally ill and violence in the media. Today, the NRA President cleared the air when it comes to those comments and suggestions to arm and train teachers.
"When Wayne LaPierre spoke about a week ago, he suggested that what has to happen and what should happen is that in every school district, administrators, teachers and parents should sit down and ask what's needed to protect the students in that school," says NRA President David Keene. "Some of them will want police officers there. Others of them will want private security guards. There may be some places they want volunteers to do it. We're willing to work with everybody on those questions, but the fact is that is not a crazy suggestion."
Keene also says he's against a gun database, because it won't list those who got guns illegally. He's also worried it would help criminals who are looking to steal firearms.

Pharmacist admits misbranding dialysis drugs
May 21, 2013 21:08 GMT
WICHITA, Kan. (AP) -- A Tennessee pharmacist has admitted distributing a misbranded Chinese-made drug that was given to kidney dialysis patients in Kansas.
The U.S. Attorney's office says 53-year-old Robert Harshbarger Jr., of Kingsport, Tenn., pleaded guilty Tuesday in Topeka to one count each of distributing a misbranded drug and health care fraud.
Harshbarger admitted that from 2004 to 2009, he substituted a cheaper Chinese import for an iron sucrose drug approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
The drugs were given to patients of Kansas Dialysis Services. Prosecutors say there were no reports of harm, but patients were put at risk because the FDA could not assure the drugs' effectiveness and safety.
Harshbarger's plea deal calls for four years in prison, restitution of nearly $849,000 and a forfeiture of $425,000.
