Our elementary school had Revolutionary War week. I brought one of my great grandpa’s bayonets to class. Some other kids brought RW guns. No problems. Different time.

People don’t realize just how common this is and how long it’s been going on.

My mother was a teacher in the K-12 system, primary education, in California. In the early 80’s, a couple of FBI agents entered her 7th grade classroom and arrested a student on grounds of running guns for the Mexican mafia. She decided after 43 years of teaching, to retire the next year. It just wasn’t worth it anymore.

Our vice-principal would chase us down with a clip-board. We had no security officers at all.

Understood, but you are an adult. My brother and I play Fallout 4, which is wonderful in numerous ways, but has a very dark main story and DLC’s that are even darker. It’s fine for adults, but I can see where young kids and disturbed younger teenagers could be negatively influenced by such a game. Of course a game would not be the only reason a kid snaps and shoots up their school, but you bet it could be one factor.

something has changed in our society, when I was a youth; Teenagers had ready access to all sorts of shotguns, rifles, and pistols. it was common to go plinking after school in the woods with a bunch of kids. Moms would shoo the armed boys out of the house ‘go outside and play’

Heck, in 1974, when I was a freshman in high school, I was on the JROTC rifle team, and we had a 50' range in the basement of the school.

I gave a gun safety presentation in my speech class, and had a rifle and shotgun as "props" for the presentation. I dropped them off at the school office at the start of the day, picked them up for class, dropped them off at the office after class, then took them home on the school bus after school.

Popular societal attitudes, ethics, and how children are raised have certainly changed for the worse since those days.

Yes when I was in HS all the guys had guns in a rack in their PU trucks. Nobody ever got shot.

If it’s true that a leftwing nutcase shot KIDS who supported Trump, this should be frontpage news all over the country. But I need to see a lot of confirmation of that theory first.

1968 was the turning point when Bobby Kennedy was murdered. After that the MSM and schools began a program to feminize the American male.

This report is of a school shooting and I’ve been watching fox news for an hour and they have not mentioned it? Why is this not on the news?

I’m 20 miles from the shooting. After watching our prissy local newsman {who pursed his lips about Trump before the election) dance around the shooting news, I’m far more inclined to believe that the shooter was targeting Trump supporters. One of the kids interviewed said she knew the fellow, and he was holding a large gun before class, but she didn’t think much about it. Oh really? I’d like to hear the truth. The shooter is dead so it won’t come from him.

(cannot open your link. My prob, not yours. What does it say?

kids know what their parents and grandparents and grandparents are doing...

if you want young people to grow ups sound and strong with morals and values, then show them that example...

The state of Washington being a libtard sanctuary is willing to tolerate most anything. Georgia not so much.
