An Ohio first-grader who found his grandmother’s loaded gun at school this spring pointed it at another student, according to a newly released email.

On March 8, the child found the 9 mm handgun that his grandmother, Vicky Nelson, who is the district’s transportation director, carried at Highland Local Schools. Nelson was allowed to carry the weapon as part of the district’s concealed-carry plan adopted last year to arm administrators and select staff members to protect students from potential gun violence.

Last Thursday, school officials said Nelson had briefly gone to the restroom, leaving the gun hidden behind her desk. They said they didn’t know how long the child had access to it or whether he pointed it at anyone.

A century ago people felt that alcohol was dangerous to society, and the United States voted for Prohibition, no alcohol was legal in the United States. After 13 years it was repealed.

Prohibition in the United States - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

My belief is that making guns more difficult to obtain, would create an underground of sales, similar to prohibition.

I see those as two very, very different issues. The vast majority of human societies have had some form of intoxication for about the last 50,000 years.

Guns are new. We don't know how to handle them. They make the gun-carrier too powerful, esp when combined with inebriation (which is a human given).

We are violent-prone, addiction-prone, copycat species - giving us guns is not a great strategy. I can provide links (but they would be to books and I know that you know what I mean).

There's already HUGE underground trade in guns. In SoCal, I've lived with it for a long time. It's complicated. Making some things difficult to obtain actually makes sense.

Are women supposed to just...provide sex...because otherwise, men get irritated? No. We are allowed to say no. And it should be respected. I don't want guns on campus or in grocery stores or in people's cars and I REALLY don't want semi-automatic weapons (anywhere). Weapons are all optional.

Human nature is not optional. Given easier means of killing, we'll kill more. It should be obvious by now. What other intelligent species does what we do?

(Love you, Mickey, but really disagree on the gun control issue). And alcohol creates hazardous mental states. We control that.

We must also control ballistic weapons. Moving to the European model would be a first step.

IMO.
