Unfortunately, political correctness and government nannyship has gone to ridiculous extremes.
How many of us grew up carrying a swiss army knife? I know almost all of my friends did... how many kids today do the same thing... probably none.
Are the kids really any safer with all this BS in place... Let's think about that... how many school shootings did you hear about in the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s and 1980s??? How many kids were massacred in school by gun-toting students... Yeah, that's right... basically NONE.
It doesn't really seem to me that restricting guns from school grounds is really doing all that much to promote a safe environment. What it is doing is creating a group of defenseless victims that are all easily located in a single spot.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
