My dad told me stories about his school days, when he's bring a rifle into the school, put it in his locker, then go shooting after school with his friends. This would have been in rural Canada in the 60s.
This was like 15 (fuck has it been 20?) years ago in a state with very strict gun control. We were kind of in the lull between columbine and sandy hook but idk. Rural area. If you see a shotgun next to some camo and duck decoys your first thought isn't mass shooter
