"JUST THE FACTS MAAM" Sgt. Friday

Children, and adults acting like children, skipping school and parading the streets carrying signs asking ", demanding, "Keep Us Safe", "No Guns", "Guns Kill", "School is not safe", Etc, Etc.
Let's take a look at some facts.  The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention tell us that daily nearly 30 Americans die in motor vehicle crashes.  Should we do federal background checks on those wanting drivers license?
The FBI's 2015 Uniform Crime Report shows us that nearly three times more people are stabbed or hacked to death than are killed with shotguns and rifles combined, which numbered 548, while those stabbed and hacked to death amounted to 1,573.  Should we have federal background checks before buying a knife?
Most people and courts would argue that it is utter nonsense to deal with drunk driving or with knife deaths that way because, after all, they are inanimate objects.  Guns are also inanimate objects and have no will of their own to do anything but sit in the gun cabinet, or behind the bedroom door.
The Sears mail-order catalog of 1902 had 35 pages of ads for firearms.  Lots of magazines through the 40's, 50's and 60's had ads for firearms, aimed at children much of the time.  Until The 1968 Firearms Act, one could order many old military weapons such as, Mauser '98 rifles and Jap Nambu pistols and many other firearms.  Every boy over the age of ten wanted a .22 rifle for his birthday.
"Gun Free Zones" will not solve the problem, only encourage the "Nuts".  Banning cops 'n' robbers and cowboys 'n' Indians play won't do much either.
Congress cannot make our society more Moral.  It cannot make our families more civil.  Our moral standards have been under siege for 50 years.  God is out of many schools.  The trek to the Principle's office holds no fear for the miscreant any more.  Teachers have lost control of classes, and some have suffered physical injury because of it.  Bad behavior needs to be punished and instantly.  It worked when I grew up!....Medicineman!
