Unless the NRA wants to fund the weaponry and extensive training, they need to sit down and shut up.

I think im trying to hard to defend a position i dont truly believe in. I agree cost has to be considered, what im getting at is no stone should be left unturned, if the right answer happens to be the most expensive should we just dismiss it? I think im playing in the land of idealism where those in power in US would find money from the defense budget or wherever to do whats right by there children and really for themselves regardless of cost.
It's very hard to argue with the hard facts of gun control, so i guess i'll stop lol.
