Hi Hans,
   You're correct - gun violence at schools is a recent phenomonon.  As you 
said, gun safety was taught at home & in school.  Now, violence is bombarded 
on children in TV, video games, etc and they become desensitized to the 
damage a gun can cause.  Also, by not introducing children to guns and gun 
safety at a young age we keep them curious about them - there's a mystery 
about them and kids are amazingly curious about things of mystery.

   All in IMHO naturally, and one other comment - when violence at a school 
is stopped by a citizen with a gun the media fails to mention it.  When a 
law school in rural Va was attacked by a nut two students ran to their car, 
retreived the guns the "Gun-Free" zone mandated they not bring to school and 
used them to subdue the maniac.  But 99.9% of the media fail to mention 
this.  I wonder why?  Doesn't fit their personal agenda - and they're not 
professional enough to keep their personal feelings out of it - even though 
they say the contrary.
