Marty Hayes Proposal: American Coalition To Stop School Shootings

In the March 2018 edition of the Armed Citizen's Legal Defense Network Journal, Marty Hayes writes:

Third suggestion: The firearms industry could take it upon itself to help provide security, weaponry and training for volunteer or paid staff at schools. I suggest calling it the American Coalition To Stop School Shootings (ACTSSS). How would this work? Each firearms-related business or organization would contribute 1% of their gross revenues to a tax exempt charitible foundation, the mission of which would be to provide funding to help school districts arm and train volunteers and even to hire paid security. If each large corporation and large gun rights organization would pledge only 1% of their gross reciepts (sic), enough money would be raised to accomplish a great effort.

 He follows up in the April edition:

After publishing my commentary last month, I received 25 separate responses, and most were in support with some very helpful additional suggestions. At some point, I will organize this valuable input and put your responses into a cogent compilation. In the meantime, I will be looking at ways to take the idea to the next step. I would like to see an industry leader or two embrace the idea and take it forward. Frankly, I do not have the ability to build the American Coalition To Stop School Shootings–ACTSSS–alone. Others who have a passion to make it happen are needed to take the idea and run with it. If you or anyone you know has any contacts in the industry that might want to get involved, please contact them and run it by them. I do not expect to let the idea languish, but I also don’t want to try single-handedly to get it going and have it fail for lack of momentum.

I am not sure how you herd those cats, but it's an interesting idea. Many industries self-regulate or band together to solve problems before the government steps in and turns one problem into dozens.
