Due to recent events, we as an organization saw a need to come to spotlight.

School shooting is an honest work. It doesn't pay much but you sleep better knowing you're making a difference in the world. Our fathers shot schools, like their fathers before them. Therefore it deeply saddens us to see that there's a movement rising against our time-honored American occupation.

As our co-founder and experienced veteran Sam "You Can't" Hyde likes to say: "The weak should fear the strong". In other words, shootings are just a natural selection, a way to preserve a sustainable system. Kids that survive being shot develop immunity to stronger caliber bullets and are better prepared for the inevitable next time. It also toughens you up mentally. And in our contemporary sedentary society, is there a better way to rejuvenate than a healthy dose of running and adrenaline? Using primal instincts to bring kids back to one with nature. Shootings also prevent bullying, since bullies know there can be consequences.

Unfortunately, recently there has been a wave of charlatans tarnishing our trade with their sloppy work. Professionals have standards and so do we. Unlike these amateurs, all our operatives are well trained, efficient and polite. Guns don't kill people, we kill people. But we need guns and banning our tools of trade would leave NSSA with only two tough choices: either make lots of people unemployed or get guns illegally, strengthening Mexican cartels.

Those who trade some liberty for some safety deserve neither.
