70. Teachers? No way. An armed guard at every school is on the horizon.

Dec 2012

You buy a gun, you get a $100 tax bill to pay for the guards society needs everywhere. Some of that money can go to help defray the daily funeral expenses of your victims. Some of it can go to help pay for college and living expenses when the wage earner takes a bite.

And what do you have to give when the light of someone's life goes out? When you put a bullet into their 5 yr. old kindergartener?

As for more weapons means more safety, what about nukes? If we just let every country arm itself with a nuke, we'll all be safe. Somehow that hasn't caught on in the world stage.
