When I was in High School, there was hardly a vehicle in the parking lot that DIDN’T have a .22 or a shotgun, extra ammo and some sort of knife in it, LOL!
Kids these days. Such amateurs.
However - we never EVER would’ve though of bringing them into the school. We needed them (and our fishing poles & ‘assault’ tackle boxes!) to hunt or fish after school and before we needed to be home for chores and supper.
Those two hours of any kids’ day were HEAVEN! We certainly weren’t going to screw it up by shooting or stabbing one another, LOL!
Like you said, can’t compare the groups....one parent boys, no father image, tv or internet ALL day, no criminal responsibility, no right or wrong philosophy, no sanctity of life.....many kids have no moorings at all or greatly perverted...
