No question the right is on the wrong side of the gun issue.

Flipping this around/thinking inside out, if it makes sense to the right that gas taxes should pay for road maintenance. shouldn't gun owners pay most of the cost of additional police personnel needed to protect citizens against gun crime? Would the 2nd Amendment prohibit law enforcement surtaxes on new gun sales and ammo sales?

Since few Republican politicians would willingly vote to spend government money on paper, pencils, and other school supplies, would they spend government money on ammo for armed teachers to practice at gun ranges? Is the canard of armed teachers just another way to make teachers spend their own money on something Republicans refuse to pay for but nevertheless expect?
