Why? YOu dont even know how much you love them,,I, OTOH, despise them. They are part of the game. They work to allow gun control.. They helped in th 68 gun control act. Ive seen oard members recommend single shots as "all any good hunter needs". They are NOT 2nd amenment people,they suck
I'd rather see a $100 per bullet tax payable cash only at purchase.
Then for schools, I'd find and screen a few paid employees who would be visibly armed @ every crucial location - all doors, play ground, and main intersections - My sons school I count about 7-8 locations - where there would be paid security professional personnel - we have tons of unemployment and military personnel would fit into this well. Volunteers could be whacko's or about to go over, and we need a full on screening and psych test.
Guns do have a purpose my friend. And I dont take the "Good guy with a gun" as in "unpaid unknown un screened random guy with a gun" - the "good guy with a gun" will be "qualified, tested and well known good guy with a gun" - This will be paid for by the $100 bullet tax. If we dont collect enough via bullet taxes, we'd print the $$ and we'd not listen to republicons squealing about government spending. Cos this is a problem they caused.
This is a 100 year problem. Too us over 100 years to get here, may take us over 100 years to get out if ever. Sorta like dumping chemicals into the ground. You can do it in a few years and have a problem bad enough it would never be solved.
Cool.
