The NRA advocates putting armed police officers in every school in
america, the problem is that in pennsylvnia alone that will cost 16
million, per year.

So why not tax weapons and ammo to pay for the costs of poilce
protection in schools?

anyone who buys a gun or ammo should be able to afford the tax, it
gives the NRA what they want, and the school children will likey be
better behaved


If the community decision is to have armed guards in schools...
why not have the staff & parents of the kids pay for them?

btw Couminbine High School had a deputy sheriff on duty who is
credited (investigate the shooting incident timeline) with saving a
number of injured & uninjured people during the incident.

Why is the solution often offered... tax an uninvolved 3rd party for
benefit of another?
