Should tell you gun violence is more a symptom of other issues.
I grew up where you could go deer hunting and leave school early to do so. Rule was you had to put your gun / bullets in the principals office. Same place those of us who were in trouble sat.
Unattended. 50+ guns / couple hundred bullets. No one ever got shot nor was it ever even talked about.
- hga 11y agoWhen my father went to high school here in the late '40s, he and his peers would keep their long guns in their lockers for the same reason, same result with absolutely no control by the school authorities. The late Supreme Court justice Scalia, 3 years younger, related in the oral arguments of Heller how he'd carry his target rifle on the NYC subway to and from his school/JROTC? rifle range. When I attended in the late '70s, the JROTC rifles were in a safe to which we did not have the combination (well, they were government property), now they use air rifles :-(.
