Just for perspective:

- we had gun racks

- with guns in them

- in the school parking lot

- and nobody gave a fuck. Buddy of mine discovered that yes - if you throw a .22 rimfire just right, it will go off and he discovered it when another friend threw it at his feet outside of chemistry class. No lockdown, no Facebook panic, nothing.

Knew a guy. Beat his girl. Girl broke up with him. brought a .45 to school and told his friends he was gonna kill her. Counselor got him into the office, principal got his backpack when he sat down, got the gun, kicked him outta school. Didn't even make the school paper.

shit ain't new but the frickin' panic is off the chain.
