A country with 300 milion people would then extrapolate to 50 times that or 162,500 patrol officers plus support personnel. At an average wage & bennies package of 90K or $14,625,000,000 per year.
Or it could done for free by eliminating gun free zones with less infringement of everyone's civil liberties, less jurisdictional disputes & faster.
Which way will the pol's choose?
