There is a way to raise your kids. Like many here, my brother and myself knew from a young age there was a loaded shotgun, unlocked, in my father's closet, we were told never to touch it and we didn't. That was back when "spare not the rod" (or belt) was taken very literally in our household.

Train and arm the right teachers, provide SROs with the right mindset and training. I'm sure there are some eterans perfect the job (and this especially applies to college campuses).

Yeah yeah. But the broader conversation has to include the sociological pieces of the problem and this simple and brief article eluded to it.
 
In the 1950s-1970s, it was normal for high schoolers to bring their rifles and ammo to school stored in their vehicles or kept in a storeroom supervised by the principal, because they are going hunting or target shooting after school. Nobody got hurt. Nobody was engaging in stupid or careless or criminal shenanigans.

And that wasn’t because people respected firearms more then than they do now. It’s because we taught people how to cope with problems and adversity. People still fought but two dudes would scrap them go drink beers in a field the same night.

This was common into the mid nineties where I lived.

And in that same era we built an entire ICBM and nuclear carrier and sub program, and put astronauts on the Moon from scratch. Today: "What? The teacher said I got that math problem wrong? I am gonna beat her up while my homies film it and post it on Tiktok.."

No. Math is racist.
 
From the article:
nearly 24 million children live in single-parent families in the United States

Coming from a single parent home exponentially increases the odds of mental illness, living in poverty, and going to jail.

These are well known facts, yet the government continues to subsidize single parents.

Almost like it's the plan.

It is the plan, to destroy traditional families. Like everything else, these leftist degenerates now claim that traditional households are "racist" LOL. Because having 8 children in the ghetto by 8 different fathers is a proven recipe for success in life.

I hear what all sides of this discussion are saying. Fortunately, I was of the generation where I could bring a German pistol (no ammo) for a show and tell project in Junior High. Taken off of a sniper by my Uncle. Wrapped in a brown paper bag. Taken out, discussed and put away in my back pack. Never an eyebrow raised.
So, yes, I miss those days.
Almost daily I am beat over the head with the phrase "The World Has Changed".
I have no answer, just observations.
America is truly a "House Divided"... It can not stand.

Those were the days before antidepressants and the drugging of society. Funny thing. Why dowant mainstream media ever mention the fact that all these “school shooters” are on antidepressants of one form or another ? I mean they say it rite on the ads. Rite on the drug information. But like Rahm Emanuel once said.”never let a tragedy go to waste.”
What he forgot to say is that the government are the ones that create these tragedies .

BTDT.

We all carried rifles or shotguns and had wonderful fistfights behind the gym.
