Hmmm, funny...I grew up in an America where we went to what was called middle school with our 20 guage shotguns, parked them in the coat closet, and after school, we went dove and quail hunting.
In High School, I had a Ford pickup with a 30-30 and a pump shotgun in the rifle rack. And I wasn't the only one.
In twelve years of going to public schools not once was anyone shot or in any way killed at the hands of another.

Time.
It isn't the gun, folks. It's the society we currently live in today.
