Life Magazine periodically publishes photo essays of retro subcultures and social issues. In the recent past they have done some really interesting photo essays on topics like the Hell's Angels, The Beatles at various points in their musical career, etc.
Just today they published a photo essay on firearm education at a rural elementary school in 1956. It is aptly titled "Old School Gun Control." It's really worth a look. The accompanying article isn't bad either, save for the author's dig at handgun owners (nothing's perfect I suppose).

I had gun safety classes in school in the 1980s and 1990s but through video instruction only. Nowadays we kick kids out of school for a gun-shaped Pop Tart. I'm thinking that we need to bring this very thing back into schools!
