3. It's not even effective

Between 2018 and 2020 the state of Texas spend a lot of money hardening the schools

They put in new doors. The doors have steel frames and the doors are very tightly against the frame so somebody can't slip a crowbar and to try to pull the door open... the doors also open outward so anybody outside of the schoolroom cannot force their way in... students inside the classroom have to push the door open they don't pull the door open...

To try to force your way in from the outside you need special breaching tools or the key to the door...

They didn't have the key what they did was they had a huge key ring with about 80 keys on it each school has its own a a so when there is need the sheriff who comes to the school asks for the keys...

Blaming the police department which was very small the school Police Department only had six officers to cover eight schools is the next way of trying to assert we don't need gun control laws we just need better police...

They will do anything and blame anybody to avoid gun control

2. Duck and Cover for the 20s

$400,000 per school, 130,930 public K-12 schools (as of 2020)...

$52 Billion

And, even if extremely effective, all it does is move the shooters to malls, grocery stores, movie theaters, outdoor concerts, Walmarts, sporting events (high school football anyone?), etc.

However it DOES make all the kids in the high get use to the surveillance state... no furtive kissing in the gym, no smoking in the bathroom...

The school to prison pipeline is complete.

4. Let's levy a tax on ammunition to pay for this.

Let those who worship firearms pay for their risks.

Isn't that the conservative agenda?

There are 130,930 schools in the United States.

The piece claims that the school they visited invested $400,000 per school to protect children from firearms.

Total cost for hardening schools: $52,372,000,000.

Amortized cost over ten years is $5,237,200,000 per year.

The US produces 8,000,000,000 rounds of ammunition per year.

A tax of $6.55 per bullet would pay for these systems.

Let's add the annual medical and other costs of gun violence...

Latest estimate is $280,000,000,000.

That works put to $35 per bullet to pay for the economic damages resulting from gun violence.

I therefore propose that the gun owners in America pay a tax on ammunition of $41.55 per round to pay the true cost of their hobby/fetish. In that way, taxpayers would not be burdened.
