The Blue Board

Assuming $20,000 a year per cop (a low number), this would cost $3.9 billion dollars per year.

Easy Tanto,

I said I agree with you to a point. I said that it wouldn't stop it, but it would make them harder to get. I have a lot of weapons but don't go into schools killing innocent people. It's still a discussion that is worth having and I'm willing to listen to both sides personally.

While i have nothing against this idea, i have a hard time believing it would generate anywhere near enough money. Or maybe im just out of touch with how much pot is smoked. You are probably looking at at least 500k a year for my city of about 60k. Thats alot of pot.

I actually think it would generate more than enough money, but only because $6-7 billion (a reasonable estimate) isn't very much money in terms of the federal budget.

The measure of marijuana as a cash crop from 2003-2005 was estimated at $35.8 billion/yr, untaxed.

Why wipe it out? That would make it legal to drink and drive. That would be stupid. It's illegal to shoot someone for no reason. They got rid of Alchohol. It was called prohibition. Governement made Alchohol illegal. It's what ushered in what we know as "the mob". That worked out well. You can't just banish shit an expect it to get better. People will find ways around everything

No bit I can go to any hood in Atlanta and buy a fully automatic one. It's not hard.

It's against fire code to lock school doors. At least it is where I live but I Agree. Key codes for parents, doors that automatically unlock if the fire alarm is tripped....I can still sport shoot AR-15's and kids don't have to get killed. The government can cut costs somewhere to fund safety measures. There's not much more that's more important.

So because of that we should just not waste our time trying to prevent it? I don't understand that thought process.

I'm saying that you can't prevent it. You are going to wind up making it worse for everyone in everyday life and it won't stop a thing.

That easy enough for you?

It's called balance. There's a fine line between freedom and enslavement. I'm sorry if it offends but I'm not willing to give up freedoms that I don't abuse for any reason.

Give me something that will fix it? All I'm hearing is sticking police in kindergartens, metal detectors in all schools, banning automatic weapons (which is a joke because they are still going to be easy to get, especially from a man hellbent on making the news and killing himself at the end of it), and what else?

Your putting solutions out there that do nothing but make our lives more government controlled and don't stop a fvcking thing.

I believe it is everywhere, but I think we should change it.

If the first responders want/need in, they will get in!!!

I agree......nothing more important than our kids!

And you would have stopped that from happening how? You post on this site like your shit doesn't stink but nothing that you have posted makes any sense on stopping what happened. I don't mind making it harder to get guns but they are still easy to get even if illegal.

Don't get twisted and start acting like I don't feel for those kids. I'm the one of the one's that have started getting the board trying to organize money for charities in this whole ordeal. I haven't seen your uppity ass in that thread. Quit being a blowhard and actually say something that makes sense or STFU.
