- PublicLet's assume a police officer in each school costs $50k/year. (And that probably doesn't include pension costs). That's $5 billion dollars per year.
There are around 10m guns sold in the USA per year. So to fund this we'd have to add a $500/gun tax.
I couldn't find stats on ammunition sales, but it might make even more sense to tax bullets. Maybe based on their lethality. BB guns are free. Cop Killer bullets are $2000.
[left this originally as a comment +Dan Gillmor's post, but I think it deserves broader sharing since I think it puts this whole thing into perspective...]

The watch you see was from the 1998 plenipotentiary conference in Minneapolis. I implemented the RealAudio streaming for the conference back when I worked in the IT department at the ITU.
Engraved on the back of the watch is the text "Offered by SWISSCOM".
