1 - Create an additional tax for firearms purchase 2 - Use money collected with this tax to finance school security

Created by D.S. on December 17, 2012

A recent tragedy in Newtown, CT elementary school makes all of concerned citizens think more about security in the public schools across the nation. While we realize that no single legislative measure would have prevented this tragedy, we do think that one of the key steps to ensure this never happens again would be heightened school security.

A proposed measure would create an additional tax on purchasing firearms and direct the money collected with this tax to finance additional security guards in the the schools nationwide
