This sick, sick society "apprehends" anyone with a pellet gun at school.
When I was in high school, we had guns in gun racks. ON SCHOOL GROUNDS. And the school superintendent would meet us as we came into the parking lot, TO ASK WHAT WE HAD BROUGHT IN ON OUR MORNING HUNT!
Those were simpler times. When our drill sergeant asked who had fired a gun before, it was mostly inner-city types who hadn’t.
