I agree it does all start at home.

I also remember guys having knives at school; but what I don’t remember is anyone dying from a gun or knife at school! Unfortunately this all starts at home. For those complaining that 18 year olds shouldn’t have rights to purchase guns; but are old enough to join our Military Forces & vote. See @Lebowski’s comment. @ Lebowski Loved your comment Kia Soul, blue hair, ect!

Almost all the pickups in the student parking lot had rifles and shotguns hanging from the gunracks in the back window because a lot of the teenagers went hunting before school. A lot of times we would go get our new guns and show them to our ag teacher inside the school. No one thought anything of it. We certainly never thought about shooting anyone. If we got into a fight. we got our butts whooped and shook hands and accepted whatever punishment we got. 40+ years later and we're having to have cops and metal detectors in the same schools. What happened? Is it because we have more guns? Nope! It's not a gun problem, it's a people problem.

No family needs an arsenal so beat me up over it I do not care" Historically, one of our greatest freedoms as Americans is our ability to own whatever property we choose. There are limitations which either of us may disagree with. No other person or official should be able to limit another's right to purchase and keep firearms. The same freedom should be extended to those of you who might wish to spend your money elsewhere; like on a Kia Soul, wallet chain, or blue hair dye. @ jb

Parents don't check their student's belongings, or either they just don't care if their kids vape/smoke. We have kids smoking daily in middle school. Parents will even come pick up their children's vapes that have been confiscated. Things aren't like they used to be. Parents are too worried about being "cool."

Kids get guns, alcohol, and tobacco and other illegal items all the time. Being under 18 isn't going to stop them. Just as making something isn't going to stop someone from getting any illegal items. They ask older friends to buy them for them, steal from adults and other kids, and in some cases the parents give them to them. @JTE I hope you are being sarcastic.

If you can handle firearms, then they should be able to access them in the civilan world.
