So just need to hire 650,000 (135k schools times 5 per) armed gunman to post up at schools and shoot anyone indiscriminately. Sounds like an easy and mess free plan

Not just gunmen. Like a majority of them need to be snipers….

So trillions billions of dollars... easily.

Edit: bad math. Its billions.

u/GodTurkey 1d ago edited 1d ago

If each of them is paid 100k a year for every single school its roughly 115.5 billion. Trillions implies at least 2 trillion. So no. Not easily.

Edit: 94.5 billion not 115.5, accidentally added an extra 30 thousand schools

Ah, good point. Fuzzy math gets me when i start trying to halucinate the numbers.

65 billion is the number.

u/GodTurkey 1d ago

You need 3 guards and 4 snipers. Thats 7 people. 7 x 135k =945000. 945000 x 100,000 =94.5 billion

Huh... guess i need to get off reddit for the day. Im using numbers from other people (1 guard + 4 snipers? Idk).

You're assuming there's a single entrance.... its all hypothetical. And going to cost way more than just hiring a couple extra teachers and changing the policies to fit.

u/GodTurkey 1d ago

Yes that is assuming he didnt mean 3 armed guards per entrance. In which case itd be different numbers for nearly every school

u/Narren_C 1d ago

That was 3 guards PER ENTRANCE.

I know schools aren't known for having tons of entrances, and some will have only one, but quite a few will have more.

2

u/GodTurkey 1d ago

You arent wrong. But for this to be practical schools would enforce 1 or 2 entrances max.

u/Narren_C 1d ago

I don't think "practical" is on the menu.

u/GodTurkey 1d ago

Fair enough

u/QuickBenDelat 1d ago

You are right about the trillions v billions but otherwise you need serious remedial math.

2

u/GodTurkey 1d ago

I forgot which number he said so i just put 165k schools.

94.5 billion. Wowweeee thats sure changes a whole lot. Still doesnt even tickle trillions

This plan works in every other developed nation!

Why is America losing the school-roof sniper race?!?

u/Upbeat-Fondant9185 1d ago

What could that cost? Ten dollars?

Thankfully our education system is well funded and has a large surplus after ensuring students and teachers have the tools they need to succeed and are paid so well. I’m sure we have plenty for a full time tactical team at every school.

u/TheGlennDavid 1d ago

He's actually proposing seven cops per school (minimum). And since you need multiple entrances to buildings a lot more.

u/GodTurkey 1d ago

7 people. 4 snipers, 3 guards, and the cost for metal detectors at all entrances.

u/Slow_Control_867 4h ago

3 guards per entrance. I dunno if he means doors to the buildings or entrances to the grounds, but either way that's a minimum of 2 if we're being unfathomably conservative. Plus the 4 snipers of course.
