As I listen to the news today about the Virginia Tech shooting by the, unnamed, (by me anyway) disturbed student with "ismail ax" written on his arm I can't help but think of some of us actually taking guns to school. I remember the shop projects where kids would sporterize cheap WW-2 rifles that were purchased through the "Civilian Marksmanship Program" How many student pickup trucks had rifles on display on the racks built across the rear window? (another ag-shop project)
The big media theme this morning seems to be, "if we had tighter gun laws criminal acts like this wouldn't happen"
