Years ago, school boys used to bring their hunting rifles to school and leave them in their lockers.
After school, they would go hunting for squirrels, rabbits and other small game, which they would bring home.
None of the kids ever shot any of their classmates.
I have relatives in Lynbrook, N.Y. in Nassau County, on Long Island.
I read somewhere that years ago, there was a shooting range in the basement of the elementary school in Lynbrook.
I very much doubt that it’s still there.
