A way to end or reduce mass shootings in America that would work?
I propose they put a $20,000 reward payed to the first person that drops them. As American cops brag they don't do any thing for free. This way they rush in to earn the reward. $20,000 tax free. Also a fine if you shoot a unarmed person you pay $10,000 to the reward fund. This would build it up so special rewards & bonus's could be added. This includes the police if they shoot a unarmed person. This will help them think before shooting. The special rewards could go to citizens who stop a armed robbery or such. Or teaches who shield students true hero's.

So, you want Dodge City style shootouts in American schools. Or we could just stop crazy people from getting military weapons.

Shouldn't the $10,000 go the the unarmed person who was wrongfully shot rather than to some fund?
Actually, the medical bills that the injured innocent will have to pay will be much more than $10,000. Plus lost wages, plus possible long term disability. Plus burial expenses (maybe).
Shouldn't that $10,000 be reserved for the innocent injured person. And what does this added victim do if the shooter doesn't have $10K? What does your plan say about that?
If the pseudo-hero's first shot hits an innocent person and their second shot takes down the bad guy? Does the shooter walk away $10K to the good ($20K for dropping the bad guy less $10K fine for hitting the bystander) while the bystander is out of pocket a lot more than $10K?

Sometimes you have to handicap some people. Just like they did way back when.Save them from themselves.
