I would recommend that anyone contacting their elected representatives include a solution to the problem in addition to telling them you disagree with proposed legislation.
The solution should be simple and easy to fund.
For example, my solution( feel free to use it if you want) for protecting our children( their stated goal) is to hire an armed guard for each school in the United States.
At first this sounds expensive and they would argue there is no money to fund this plan but my solution is this:
There are a little under 100,000 schools in the U.S. so I will round the number to 100,000 to make the math simpler and cleaner.
If we hire one armed guard for each school, preferrably ex-military or law enforcement, at $40,000.00 each, this would cost $4,000,000,000.00 ( 4 Billion dollars)
The federal budget for the Department of Education in Washington D.C. is approx. $70,000,000,000.00 ( 70 Billion dollars) per year and going up.
This is the people who are constantly saying all they do is care about kids whenever a proposal is made to cut their budget.
So we cut their budget by the needed $4,000,000,000.00 to fund the armed guards and we actually get something positive from this money instead of it being wasted as it is now.
It's a simple and funded solution and it gets their stated goal, remember they only care about our children, solved.
It also makes it hard for them to argue against the solution.
Please keep contacting your representatives and local sheriffs.
