I actually think the idea from LaPierre is good

There are approximately 135,000 schools that need to be covered. Some schools will need two guards, and of course you will need to cover sick days and vacation so let's round that up to 200,000. Add management and training let's round it up to 225,000.

Now we need to make it a decent paying job, Average starting salary is 50k (for a Police Officer) in the U.S. but then you need to add benefits, do let's make it 65k per year.

So out of the gate we have 225k X65K or $14,625,000,000

Now in 2011 there were 10,800,000 guns sold in the U.S.

O.K., so divide the cost by guns sold = $1,354.67 per gun!

Hmmm, not going to sell many guns with $1,354.67 added, O.K. PLAN B!, let's add 100% tax guns and ammo effective January 1st. Once we build up the 15 billion then we can start hiring.

1. I don't think he expects the NRA to pay for it.

Just like they don't count the damage they do. That's not how republican responsiblity works.

4. Local school districts would pay, of course.

Meaning property taxes would increase or a teacher would lose his/her job to a security guard.

2. How about we do all that and put the cop out where they are actually needed instead?

I rather not militarize our entire school system.

3. the math goes to infinity when you add all the daycare centers and nursing homes....

murderers will adapt....eventually there would be no gun-free zones, cause we love all our kin & bros....

the madness never ends.
