This kid in FL bragged about his gun ownership,the kid from New-town was taught to handle guns by his own Mom and the kids from Columbine were jr NRA memebers. I am NOT BLAMING the NRA just pointing out that they been educated on and about guns. I live in the country of Maryland and when my kids went to high school(15 -20 years ago) they said it was not unusual for friends of theirs who would hunt with family and come straight to school after hunting at 3/4 am in the morning with their guns in their trucks ,some would bring the deer so they could give it to a teacher. It's a mind set.

Now they want to arm the teachers,what if a teacher doesn't want to carry a gun?

I grew up like this too...me and a lot of friends had a gun in our teens and you never heard of this sort of thing happening anywhere. There is a big difference between a teen having his own rifle to deer hunt with in hunting season and probably with a parent most of the time while doing so, and one that is able to grab any gun in the house and ammunition at any given time and stroll out the house with it. Just makes me wonder what has really changed over the years that is making these teens do things like this? Because there has always been angry, rebellious teenagers throughout the years....but nothing like this.
