What a bunch of weenies we've become. Remember when the rifle club members brought their guns to school?

My uncle and I have this long-running joke; we sit on a park bench and lament the fate of the world and then, in unison, we chortle: "Thank God, I won't live that long," neither of us thought we would.

It wasn't too long ago. My school never had one, but my friends did. I was able to take a city bus with any gun and ammo.

post-Columbine = progressive BS propaganda acconpanied by surrender to the comfort of darkness.

"Two days ago, my son came home - he's 11 years old and in the fifth-grade - and asked my wife if he could buy a knife in school. That raised a few eyebrows," Eilinger said Thursday.

What an embarassment for the kid. Imagine your parents blabbing to the media that you're such a helpless wuss you can't be trusted with a pocketknife.

I was on my high school rifle team (JROTC) back in 1975. We had a 50' range in the basement of the school. In 1976, I was going to VoTech as well, learning to become a diesel mechanic. On of the things that we were told to get on the first day was a "Buck Knife." Actually, I got myself a Schrade, but still it was one of those locking blade knives that I carried on my belt in school for 2 years, both at my high school, and at VoTech. Nobody ever questioned it or objected. I also took a speech class once where I gave a safety demonstration of rifle and shotgun, and brought 2 guns to school, with the permission of the school office. The guns were kept in the office throughout the day.
