Funny thing here in the U.S. in the 1940s and 1950s, young people took guns to school and nobody objected, and there also were ZERO School shootings, also, nobody ever threatened other students with guns.
My grandfather had his own rifle for hunting by the time he was 7 years old. He bought his first handgun when he was 12, buying it in the hardware store with money he'd saved doing odd jobs. It was a far less violent time than we see today.
my father, a student at a CT boarding school in 1944, had his skeet gun and target rifle in his dorm room. As a naval officer also attending Yale a few years later, he would often attend his last day's class in uniform before doing shore patrol as an officer in the Navy -complete with the 45 pistol he carried on duty. Funny thing, despite all those men at Yale with firearms, there was never any shootings at the school.
Different time, different cultu Must not have had the modern firearms that take over people's miinds and get them to want to kill...any liberal will tell you that.
I don't know, that colt 45 was a "weapon of war" and semi auto with those fiendish detachable magazines and his shotgun was one of those vicious Ithaca Model 37s pump shotguns that you can hold the trigger down and pump fire it as fast as a "MACHINE GUN"!!!!!
