I want to know exactly how much in tax dollars someone's right to bear "ARMS" is COSTING ME.
How much are firearms costing us regarding police hours, gov't mental health care and therapy, prosecutor hours, government vehicles and insurance, gas, police health and injury paid leave, vehicle repairs, prison food, prison clothes, chains, water, court costs, judges salaries, district attorney pay, prison heat & electric, other court employees, jailer costs, court heating & electric, public defenders, hospitalization, welfare to victim's families, property liability insurance, coroner fees, cremation fees and other associated costs relating to gun crime??
I'm guessing the NRA isn't going to bring it up because the costs are way too much per person just so that some idiot can own an automatic or semi-automatic or repeating rounds weapon.
Call your Congressman and demand an economic study on the costs. DO IT.
Tell them to keep your tax dollars from covering the huge costs when some crazy gun owner loses it and shoots an assault weapon or handgun at someone.
