So why not tax weapons and ammo to pay for the costs of poilce

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

Even simpler is getting rid of that silly "Gun Free Zone" **** and just let
teachers, staff and parents provide the security by letting them be the
"armed guard"..

Really ?
Hard to believe since, hHe ran into one of the shooters in the parking lot
where they exchanged fire. But the problem was that he didn't have his
prescription glasses with him and didn't see well enough to make his shots
count.
ANd then he stayed outside while the shooters continued their rampage
inside.

Too bad he was more of a Barney Fife, than anything useful.

Because it's just another way to try to make owning a gun more onerous for
those who have done nothing wrong.
