All these stories has me thinking of the changing attitudes of society towards Firearms in general.

Back in 1980, it was a perfectly acceptable and common sight to see someone wondering back through my small town with a rifle or shotgun slung over the shoulder.

Graduating HS in 1971, it was not uncommon to see rifles & shotguns in vehicles parked in the school parking lot. I can even remember a student selling a gun to another student, he had to go through the principle's office to complete the transaction...
