School shooting: Parkland, Florida

200 billion. If it works it's a freaking bargain that's less than a third of tarp

I just think you grossly underestimated the cost with your 3% comment. That was the point with my first response.

[TeyshaBlue]

Indeed. I'd start buying as many cheap HiPoints as my savings would allocate and cash them in at a $50 to $1 return, that's the smartest, safest greatest investment of all time.

I'm sure there be verbage like purchased before XXX date. But yeah there's going 2 be a short-term e in robberies

That 3% was illustrative and just pulled out of my ass. LOL but the point remains, it's a bargain when compared to the tarp bail out

I don't understand the logic of spending $200,000,000,000 with negligible economic benefit and maybe cutting yearly gun deaths by 50%.

There are a lot of ways to help a lot more people with that money than buying back guns.

[TeyshaBlue]

200 billion is a of a front-loaded quan ative easing package

[TeyshaBlue]

Besides the asinine concept of applying value 2 reducing gun deaths

[TeyshaBlue]

Plus this is a gun death reduction measure not necessarily help everyone measure

[TeyshaBlue]

I'm dictating this on my phone while I'm traveling the grammar is... questionable. LOL

Why? You've already done it by coming up with a cost per gun.

Are there more lives that can be saved by applying the $200,000,000,000 elsewhere?

[TeyshaBlue]

Start here. What's the value of a human life in dollars?

Don't know. But I bet you can spend $200,000,000,000 elsewhere and save more lives than by purchasing back guns.

[TeyshaBlue]

Me? About a buck 50. My kids? There is no number High Enough

[TeyshaBlue]

Short-term? Maybe. Long-term I don't know

[TeyshaBlue]

It's a worthwhile discussion though

[Spurminator]

I think getting hung up on the numbers distracts from the idea itself. $10K may not be the number and it may not need to be. The idea is to reduce supply and drive up value.

[SpursforSix]

Me? About a buck 50. My kids? There is no number High Enough

Sure. Same.

But I'm not convinced that even pulling 20 million guns will do much to curtail gun deaths by much.

You got any ideas?

[Chucho]

You got any ideas?

Give everyone Kevlar body suits.

[Blake]

Give everyone Kevlar body suits.

Or give everyone guns

[SpursforSix]

You got any ideas?

I haven't really thought about it.

I'm not condoning doing it but maybe public health, disease research, car safety. I don't know.
If you take a globalist view, you could surely keep a load of people from starving to death or dying due to disease.

[Chucho]

Or give everyone guns

Why not both?

[SpursforSix]

Or spend it educating the public about eating the right foods. You'd save millions of lives. Although you'd up BigPharma.

I'm sure we can find ways to do all the above.

Already being done

[Spurminator]

We could probably use a fraction of the money to get these potential shooters laid a few times.
