With every school in America trying to reduce their budgets, and every state in the countries cutting funding to schools, you want to spend several billion dollars to put armed checkpoints in civilian facilities.

Why not spend that few billion on making a serious effort to take guns away from criminals and identifying and helping those with mental problems. Let's take the money we are spending on the war on drugs and spend it on taking guns from criminals too. I mean, it is not like we could be less successful at stamping out gun violence than we are in our war on drugs. While we are at it, let's take the billions of dollars we are spending dicking around in parts of the world no one gives a fuck about and spend that money on preventing gun crimes too. Dismantle Homeland Insecurity and Team Sex Assault too, take that money to spend on preventing gun violence too. Use all this money to fund stiffer penalties for every asshole who even thinks about using his gun unlawfully. Punish the shit out of the ones who aren't responsible enough to own guns, protect the ones who are.
