As a kid I bought my Model 1911, 45 cal, semi-automatic handgun from the US Government for $5.00. It was delivered by the USPS (Guess it was the Postal Service then). During hunting season we neighborhood boys put our guns and ammo in my topless jeep and went to school before going hunting. We didn't even put the guns in a locker during the school day. Why didn't we have all of these nut cases back then? Probably because they understood they would have been wasted in short order. Our current society is a result of the bad guys being better armed than the good guys. I'm 67 years old, so you can do the math.
