Funny how, before LBJ's "Great Society" took hold in the 60's, kids brought their guns to school because they were going hunting either before or after - and it was no big deal. Now, if a kid mentions the word, draws a picture, or makes a "finger" gun, he gets suspended or expelled. Of course, back then, kids addressed adults with "yes Sir" and "no, Ma'am", and were polite and responsible. They also knew what would happen if they got in trouble at school - now, it seems, a lot of these parents don't care or encourage the behavior - that is, if there is even a parent around that is not dead or in jail...........but the left will still demonize the item, not the folks responsible
