My introduction to guns came via TV in a wave of incidents that occurred over 10 months when I was in 7th & 8th grade.
December 1980 - John Lennon killed with a handgun.
March 1981 - President Reagan shot with a handgun
May 1981 - The Pope shot with a handgun
October 1981 - Nobel Peace Prize winner President Sadat killed with automatic weapons
I too attended a Quaker College and today I strongly oppose the ownership and use of any weapon that is not used for (non "sport" related) hunting. Zero tolerance. These stories overwhelm me, they simply overwhelm me.

Your youth sounds like mine, not that much before then. We have grown up in a handgun, violent world. Horrible. Take care.
My wife thinks it's the Covid lock down and discrimination against young men in general. I'm not so sure.
Not so sure, either. I also think about video games and violent sites online. I love the internet, but wonder how it affects some.
