So… it costs about $35000 per gun removed? 🤢

By that measure it costs $4,000 a ride to commute to work if you travel by bus.

Price of the bus and operator divided out per commute. $1.4million and $100k for 52 work weeks 5 days a week 2 rides a day.

You assume that only one person rides the bus, the bus is only in use for one year, and it can only make two trips a day.

It’s the same dumb math you did.

$35,000 seems like a large number but it pales in comparison to what a woman would pay to be free from rape, or a family to be free from the untimely death of a loved one.

It’s not 35k per gun, it’s 1 gun per # of victims prevented.

Also, what makes you think rapes are committed at gunpoint?

Rapes are committed more than one way. Same with robberies murders and assaults. Not all are gun based. Obviously.
