5. Approximately 98,000 plus public schools in the US
Thu Apr 4, 2013, 09:31 PM
Apr 2013

K-12 Only

Translation: 98,000 schools = 98,000 assault weapons
98,000 schools = 98,000 armed security officers
Approximately $555.3 billion of revenues currently support public education WITHOUT assault weapons/personnel
50 million public school students=1 guard per child??? Well you get the picture.

OR
Approximately 5 million kids in private school= Private schools are not required to provide security measures per the US Dept. of Education. No data available re: rate of armed security guards in private schools

OR, Per the NRA proposal
Approximately 3.5 million Teachers would be armed with assault weapons/accessories/and following training = $3000 annually per instructor

Cost without added insurance and retraining for the new staff who sure as shit aren't going to stick around for this BS=Ridiculous

And keep in mind this does not include higher ed.
