At Least $4.5 Billion in New Spending for Gun Control 11:53 AM, JAN 16, 2013 • BY JIM SWIFT weeklystandard.com President Obama and Vice President Biden revealed their proposed reforms intended to reduce firearms related violence. The proposal contains a mix of executive actions, regulations, and calls for Congress to act legislatively. The total package will cost at least $4.5 billion in new spending. Among the new spending the president proposed: • $4 billion for the president’s proposal “to help keep 15,000 cops on the streets in cities and towns across the country.” (That is roughly $266,000 per police officer.) • $20 million to “give states stronger incentives to make [relevant] data available [for background checks] … “$50 million for this purpose in FY2014” • “$14 million to help train 14,000 more police officers and other public and private personnel to respond to active shooter situations.” • “$10 million for the Centers for Disease Control to conduct further research, including investigating the relationship between video games, media images, and violence.” • $20 million to expand the National Violent Death Reporting System. • $150 million to “put up to 1,000 new school resource officers and school counselors on the job.”

Trying to pander to AARP war veterans who never have seen a Beretta 92? I'll get to ask a friend who is a local police officer why he is above the law I'm subject to; I'm sure Barney will get to keep his Glock.
