These events have become all too frequent, and are a sad testimony to the society we live in. IIRC, this is the sixth incident this school year, either happened or thwarted by authorities. I long for the days when school violence consisted of a brief altercation on the playground with fists, NOT GUNS or KNIVES!! Everybody walked away from those, maybe a little scuffed up, but alive.
I have already heard the anti-gun folks talking more gun control. Guns aren't the problem. The people who use guns illegally are the problem. When I was in high school, 35-45% of the male population of the school (1500+ students) had firearms in their vehicles during hunting season and nary a soul was ever shot or even threatened to my knowledge. A much higher percentage carried a knife and yes, you guessed it, no one was ever cut or stabbed. Now we need armed LEO on campus all day, everyday. What the H*** happened? Have we allowed ourselves and our society to stray that far from civility?
