when they go to airports and have armed guards all over the place, get frisked, walk through metal detectors. They are not delicate flowers. That have probably watched more violence on TV than I have. They walk in the mall and see Security all the time.
The elementary schools need protection...and I don't mean teachers packing heat. Teachers teach. Principals Principal. Security Guards protect. Kids love the Crossing Guards, and know they are there to protect them. At least 2 per elementary school...retired vets, military, police ... like the Crossing Guards. Except they roam the perimeter of the school all day, get to know the kids, and the kids feel safer. So do the Teachers and the Principal. They get baked a special cupcake for each kid's birthday. They also wander through the cafeteria just checking up as well as the playground, but always with focus on places of entry. The return of the Good Neighborhood Cop. Kids will love it...especially elementary kids cause there aren't many men in the school.
Charge it to the NRA. If there are 300,000,000 guns out there, we charge every single one of them a new School Tax... direct, just like property tax. Say $10 per registered gun within the first month. $20 per registered gun within 2 months, and $50 per gun after 3 months. Or it could be by size or magazine of whatever...but a New Registration. The longer it takes, the higher the new registration fee will be and it will set the fee for the next two years.
Bullets are priced up by a factor of 5. Rationed...recorded.
That gives us billions of dollars for new jobs, good jobs, important jobs and mostly fun jobs because the biggest part of the time they'll be hanging with the kids at recess while patrolling. Not perfect, but the whole community now knows their kids are protected as well as any wannabe psychotic who might think 2 or 3 times before playing Rambo.
