Do you really believe that if there was such a licensing scheme, the
revenue would actually be used "to pay for weapons investigation
related issues"? More likely it would wind up in the hands of the
teachers' labor union.

First, based on what happened in Canada the revenue from fees wouldn't
even cover the cost of the program, it would pay for only a small
fraction. Second, although I'm not a fan of the teachers unions, it's
kind of foolish to suggest that money from firearms licensing fees would
end up in the hands of the unions. In other words, one silly statement
does not justify another.


(a) Money gets collected.
(b) Money is put into general fund.
(c) Money from general fund is sent to state education programs.
(d) State education programs put money in teachers' pockets.
(e) Teachers pay dues to their labor unions.
