The NRA held a press conference today to share the organizations plan for reducing gun violence in America. Two protesters interrupted the speech by Wayne LaPierre, a lobbyist for the National Rifle Association, despite the tight security at the event.

The main message of the NRA: every school should be protected by armed guards. The message of the protesters: the NRA is paving the way for mass killers.

Here's some video footage of the protests distrupting LaPierre's speech.
