I have a counter proposal.  Instead of 20 million, let's do 300 million.

I wouldn't go that direction. He isn't advocating gun control for everyone, he's essentially looking for volunteer peace officers, which many communities already have. The only difference is he's saying they should be armed (some are prohibited from carrying firearms) and hidden (whereas many have shirts/jackets/id badges letting others know they're someone with a little training who can help).

The feds used to put money into volunteer programs like that through grants. Then the economy tanked, we went to war and cut taxes and now that sort of stuff is "non-essential."
