I'm not progressive, I'm probably more right-wing than you are :) This tax should be high enough to have people think twice before owning a gun at home. It's not to cover mathematically the risks.
Anyway the idea of CCW for all teachers is downright idiotic.

You're claiming to be right wing yet you want to tax a Right codified in the Constitution.
Sorry son but by taking this tact you're giving the lie to your own claim.
My rights come from Deity & are not subject to negotiation nor should they be subject to the tax you want.
By invoking a tax you follow the progressive meme of what is ok for the elite is not acceptable for the common citizen.
Over the weekend, the Los Angeles Police Department held a gun buy back and paid people $100-$200 in gift cards as an incentive to participate. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa called the buy back a way to fight crime although criminals do not participate in buy back programs. From Reuters:
Police officers handed out $200 grocery store gift cards to people who turned in an automatic weapon, and $100 gift cards to those who provided a handgun, rifle or shotgun.
Los Angeles has held an annual gun buyback since 2009, and similar events have been organized...
We even had an idiot Republican from Santa Barbara campaigning that she was the "Right-Wings Worst Enemy". Guess who lost?
Typical progressive tactic, claim to be something they are not to try and sell the malarky they are peddling.
They do not comprehend the fact that if you need to lie to sell your point it is indefensible and a loser.
