That's part of the problem. We can fund weaponry easily enough but we can't fund actual important things like education. I'm sure guns in schools will be funded, which means we'll end up with students essentially in prisons being indoctrinated without any actual education or learning going on. As it is now most children are simply learning to repeat what they're told without ever questioning the information. It's been like this for a couple of generations now, which is why we have so many adults that don't know how to use critical thinking.
