And if you are in American, a lot of school teachers can sometimes be TOO sensitive to information that kids know. If you happen to know X amount of things about firearms and say it in school, some might even start asking, how do you know all this? But it's not a question to compliment your knowledge, it's an accusing question, as if only psycho killers know more about guns and knives. I went through a phase in high school where I like drawing sword and dagger designs and symbols on them. Why? Because I had a great deal of interests and knowledge at the time about swords and other weapons of that type. I got called into the counselor's office to "discuss" about it. After that, I kept an eye out and keep my hobbies that might be "suspicious" to some people in school.

People can be overly sensitive sometimes and in the cast of the society of school, all the time.

We can thank Eric Harris, Dylan Klebold, and Seung-hui Cho for people being overly sensitive these days.

Those among the most famous school shooters. Did you know before them and after them and inbetween them were dozens of other school shootings throughout the US, but barely any of them get reported. It takes particular ones like these 3 that gets the attention of the media whores that just eats it up and shit it out for the general public.

My joke on this was, see what happens when you don't allow guns in school, psychos like these 3 idiots get to have a fish in the barrel moment with their classmates. My High School had 2 on duty police officers all the time, so that might prevent incident, but it's the fact that the media uses these incidents to really try to put on negative pressure in even thinking about firearms.

I had cops at mine too, but they got reported because they were "record breakers" in a sense that they killed more people. It's not as "sensational" if they student doesn't do a "lot" of damage. I hate the news.

Some kid Asa Coon, though, went to school with two .22 Revolvers and wounded four people. That's right, wounded, no kills, save for himself. No one talks about that one though.

That's a GOOD question. Link please to this news. I want to see this.

I mean, a kid with a flamethrower...THAT is news! I've never heard of this. Where would the kid even get one?!
