The Feds couldn’t just encourage local communities to come up with innovative way to protect students, ie arm willing teachers or administrators, turn to volunteers, etc.
Would’nt cost the taxpayer that way.
It’s going to cost us in some form of taxes no matter which govt entity supplies guards.
If there aren’t guards, then it will be bans of guns and such...of course those wouldn’t cost us anything in taxes.
We may get that option...pay for guards through increased taxes or turn in your guns.
