I mean, I'm pretty sure guns are banned.
For now...
(I don't think that law passed allowing teachers to carry, but just a matter of time before they try again)
Guns used to not be banned and there were a lot less school shootings. Every boomer and gen X you talk to will tell about when kids kept their rifles in the truck to go hunting after classes.
I'm a millennial, I had a gun in my car during hunting season, a few years later that would have landed me in jail. The cultural shift actually moved very fast. Same with drinking in bars underaged. Within a few years it went from doing it everywhere to doing it almost nowhere. I could drink in bars underaged at 15 but not at 19, because the policy enforcement shifted that fast.
Found the Republican senator! 😏
The murder rate was much higher in the 1970s when I was a kid
Which is seperate from the school shooting rate. Using the Reidman database you can see the spike starting in 2014.
