(Of course nobody lived in a broken home or was on welfare.)
When I was in elementary school, my older brother in High School would bring his .22lr rifle ont ehschool bus so he could participate in rifle club after school. I carried the box of fifty rounds for him because I had a lunch box ... and the rounds were 25 cents a box!
I lived in a rural area and people didn’t even secure their firearms, they were hanging on open racks in unlocked vehicles and homes. I never heard of anyone stealing firearms. Everyone I knew had those rifle racks in the back window of pickups, always at least one rifle in it, even in my high school parking lot. People I knew didn’t even secure firearms from children, I grew up being able to access them at any time. My dad had a pretty severe firearms training program at our house- I guess most did. I never knew any children that had firearms accidents either, I did hear about a few on the news but never personally knew of any.
Say rather that no one you knew was assaulted or lived in a broken home.
Dysfunctional or broken families and assault have always been around since the Fall.
