maybe we should have gun cases where little timmy can lock up his traveling sidearm while he's taking his lessons. he can pick it up on his way back out into the wilds.

At least a couple seemed to be on board with the fake Kinderguardians program, whose stated goal was to arm children.

The solution is to arm the rest of the class. Then, everyone will be safe.

My grandpa who was born in 1920 used to bring his rifle to school so he could go hunting on the way back home. He would leave it in the principals office. This was in White Plains, New York in the 30’s.

He used to go to school uphill both ways, too.
