It’s Cheaper to Ban AR-15 Than Pay Teachers to Carry A Gun
The President says he would like to pay a supplement to about 20 percent of the nation’s school teachers who would be willing to conceal carry in the classroom. Yet it is much cheaper to ban the AR-15 than to supplement teachers salaries.
Although, the President pronounces giving extra incentive to teachers who would be willing to engage a shooter armed with an AR-15, without batting an eye, he does not say how this program will be paid. The words just rolls out of his mouth.
But money, especially other people’s money, has never been a problem for this President. In January he gave a huge tax cut to the wealthiest Americans. Then outdid himself in February when his cohorts in the congress handed him a budget in the trillion of dollars range to sign . This budget drove up the deficit to unimaginable levels.
This begs the question: Where on earth or in the American budget will the money come from to pay hundreds of millions to arm and train essentially paratroopers to teach in the public school systems throughout the country?
This idea is ludicrous. It is a fiscally bankrupt notion. In short, it is down right nuts.
How much would it cost to ban assault weapons?
You guessed it, probably nothing.
