tax ammunition severely in order to pay for all the armed personnel

we will need to protect people from guns.

What tax rate is required to pay for 2 armed guards in every school in the USA?
Well it will be good for the unemployment rate.
But I can't see why the people who are causing the expense shouldn't be made to pay for it.

I wasn't under the impression that we had agreed to any armed personnel...

Why do you ask how to pay for it as though this is a foregone conclusion?

But - I suspect this idea would truly not even make it past our do nothing Congress. He's just talking shit and this is the best thing the NRA could come up with.

BTW - someone on here (you can probably google it - I don't remember which thread) had a link to an article giving the experience of the ARMED GUARD at Columbine high school. They had one there - and it didn't work.
