School property.
I've often wondered how the "apple sometimes does fall far from the tree" in certain situations. My best guess to your family member's example is that the sons somehow consider their very own father to be uncool and unhip based on the "lessons" repetitiously beaten into their young skulls for 180 days per academic year. Parents have to spend almost every other waking moment ensuring their kids aren't dangerously being morphed into something else...
I would think that women would be among those leading the charge into making certain that boys remained boys. I'm not even a parent and I recognize there is a significant problem with regard to feminized boys who have lost their bearing. It seems to have reached a critical level in the past decade or so.

Booby trap your locked toolboxes.
Way back when I was in high school 1961-64, if a student brought a rifle, pistol or hunting knife to school, it meant either hunting season was starting or the student was in leathercraft class. No panics in those days although we often heard of shootings or knifings at some other school always far, far away.
My uncle walked to high school in NYC in the mid-1960's carrying a rifle over his shoulder, and stored it in his locker, as did the rest of the members of his his school rifle team.
WTF is happening to this country that these kids could be treated this way?
This is happening thanks to the brady gun control freaks.
This country is starting to really, really suck
You can find out what the NRA is doing by becoming a member.
I have become a member in both 2000 and 2004 during the election cycle, even tote the card in wallet still. I need to rejoin now, so I can add funds to my neighbor to the north (Harold Ford JR.) losing his senate seat. Rumour is Jr might run for mayor of Memphis if he doesn't win.
Thanks for the help. The NRA should have 80 million members instead of four million.
