People flip out when I tell them that my father required his high-school students to carry guns to school--on the school bus. He was the Rifle Team coach.
Many students took their guns into school to work on in shop.
The reason they are removing all references to guns from schools is that they want to diminish or eliminate the American “gun culture”.
When someone grows up without any exposure to guns as tools,
they don’t see any reason NOT to restrict or prohibit ownership of them.
