[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's kids leaning into "gun culture" and thinking it's cool and wanting to show off their weapons. This is incredibly dangerous, since we can't tell the show-offs from the murderers and showing-off can kill too. [b]We need a total gun ban for civilians. [/b]Kids will never get it unless adults show the way.

As for school entry, athletic/back doors are left open all the time, and when they're not, kids hold the door open for others, because it's hard to block that courteous reflex.[/quote]

I have never owned a gun, and don't plan to, but your logic is completely flawed.

Pot is illegal for kids in MD, yet we have kids smoking pot at pretty much all of our high schools, at school, in the hallways, in the bathrooms, on the bus.  
Alcohol consumption is illegal for anyone under the age of 21, yet we had two students passed out drunk at BCC this week.
Fentanyl and other drugs are illegal, yet we have teens dying of overdoses in MCPS.
Fireworks are illegal in Montgomery County, yet we have people/teens setting fireworks off constantly, even across the street from Blair.

A 'total gun ban' won't solve anything and isn't even the main issue here.  [/quote]
DP.. I think the difference is that while alcohol is illegal for minors, it's not illegal in general. Same for guns, but actually in some states, minors can own guns.

If you got rid of guns, made them completely illegal, it would be *harder* for people to get guns.  What we have right now is easy access to guns.  This is part of the problem.[/quote]
