and another 40,000 private and post-secondary schools.

as of 2013-2014

so... 140,000 tanks with crews stationed at our schools.

What are the tanks going to do exactly?

Who is going to pay 140 Billion (at a bargain basement $1M per tank) plus the payroll for 500,000 military trained personnel to operate these tanks.

And, I ask again, what the hell is a tank going to do with a school shooting incident? lob shells into classrooms where the shooter might be?

naturally thinks more guns is the answer to everything.

This 2nd amendment nonsense is absurd. Our right to not be killed trumps their right to buy, sell and worship their weapons.
