My wife has a t-shirt that reads:

If guns kill people then spoons make Michael Moore fat.

NYC Public school rifle clubs— I also can confirm this. My school, in Manhattan, all male, had students from all 5 boroughs. Rifle club members came to school on public transportation, bus, subway and ferry, CARRYING their encased rifle. After school they would travel, on public transportation, to other schools for rifle meets. No fuss, no muss. The “rifle range” was in the basement of the school. A great movie , pointing out teenage troubles at the time, “Blackboard Jungle”. Glen Ford, Vic Morrow,Sidney Portier(Black guy is the “good guy”)

When I was in high school many of us had a shotgun or rifle in our trucks/cars. Not only was it permitted, but some times you could find a teacher out there with a student admiring a gun they got for Christmas or a birthday. It had been that way for.... about a century (not the cars, of course).

It was right around the Columbine shootings that they changed everything. There is so much that happened in the 90’s that the Left used to trample on Liberty that it is hard to calculate.

The City of Chicago High School system used to have award-winning rifle clubs for students. Somebody had the gall to point out that students enrolled in these classes had never been involved in a crime over the decades and this included high schools in high crime, high gang and high gun violence areas.

Mayor Daley II canceled the programs just a few years back. Can't have reality intruding on our politics can we?

The left is the problem. Their fascism trumps any reality. Reality, however, is truth and it is reality that always defeats the left.
