[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In the 1970s and 1980s, as a GenXer, I never feared being gunned down by one of my classmates in my own school.

Fight, GenZ! I am on your side. [/quote]

Neither did I. However, kids would also drive to school with a gun in the gun rack in their pickup.[/quote]

That was back when guns were used for hunting/sport, not toxic co-splay gun culture. [/quote]

Yep, the attitude toward guns was very different.  I am GenX, and had friends who've owned guns in high school; those were hunting or sport rifles, not weapons of mass destruction, and the kids spent time practicing at the shooting ranges and were very proud of their sharpshooting skills.  There was a certain "respect for the gun" culture that was instilled by their fathers.  I once asked a friend if I could try shooting a gun, and he said sure, and then I had to sit through a looong lecture from him on how to handle the gun safely, and he took me to a shooting range.
