Look, high school is far more murderous today than it was when I went in the 1970s. And that was at a 96 percent white suburban high school with social tensions (cowboys v. rockers). Pop bottles were removed from the school after a riot where they turned into weapons. We had someone call in almost weekly for a couple of months threatening to blow the place up and I spent a lot of time in a field south of the school that fall. The calls stopped, but a pipe bomb went off one day. But we never had to worry about guns, and this was Texas, semi-rural Texas, in fact.

What’s different now is the absolute proliferation of guns. I don’t think we can get around that.
