Then, dude, I love you and all, but I have to say, if that's the model you were shown, then there's no reconciling it, eh?

How can you possibly say that that nothing has changed from then and now? Nothing Columbine-esque happened when I was in school. Kids weren't packing when I was in school. Maybe the odd bee bee gun or slingshot but not real guns.

So what? It could have happened at any time. The ability for a child to bring a parent's gun to school has always been possible. Are you going to feel differently about schools because of a few aberrations (thanks Kevy for the word), because it actually happened? I, personally, do not. I am not going to let fear change my view of this world. Nothing has changed for me, whether I'm sending a future kid to school or getting on a plane. If it does change in my head, I'm living in fear, and that's not only pointless, it's destructive.

You keep bringing up examples and I keep telling you that anything inappropriate that gets turned in to a teacher is fair game. I'm handing this paper to you and it has a gun on it. That's a threat in my book. Especially when it isn't in context with what was written. ie. An illustration of a gun in a creative writing story.

I understand that, you have said that over and over, and you still haven't answered my question about where to draw the line. I'm not going to keep repeating myself, and should probably stop posting, as we aren't getting anywhere. If your standard of measure is Catholic private school, I don't expect it to go any further anyway.
Love you Brad.
