We just need the NRA's address so we know where to send the bill.

Just agree. Agree that armed guards are necessary. Not armed teachers - armed guards.

And by the way, in order to pay for this, we're going to need all gun owners to bring in their guns and magazines on a yearly basis to register them for tax purposes. After all it's their paranoid intransigence that makes all this necessary so they will have to be the one's who pay for it.

Watch how fast the NRA runs away from this line of attack.

That's a reasonable estimate of the ANNUAL cost of putting two trained policemen at every school.

Think rent-a-cops are any good in this situation? Even people who do nothing but train for this have friendly fire fatalities.

The NRA's cheap-o pie in the sky "arm the teachers" solution is total bullshit. Putting armed guards in school isn't much better. So in order to shut them up, tell the NRA and gun owners that having someone armed (a professionally trained and paid security guard) in schools is a great idea and the only real way to solve the problem. Go along with their bullshit. Then since they are the one's causing the need, tell them they are going to have to pay for it - through a yearly gun tax. You won't hear anymore of this "guns in schools" crap once you tell them they will have to register their guns and pay for it.

That add is so whacked up it is almost as bad as the deadly tomato scenerio.

Secret Service agents do not equate to some posse sheriff "Awrappinghisjoe" rounds up at the local bar.
Every school kid doesn't have public figures (targets) for parents.

The add does have appeal to the sheep and droolers on the right.
The NRA, making responsible gun owners look like fools.
