MP> MP> I cannot remember if the district in question includes Louisville or MP> Lexington, but it was not a rural district where some kids might have a MP> hunting rifle in the cab of their pickup. It is a case where the kids MP> are caught with knives and guns inside the school building, sometimes MP> even getting them past the metal detectors. MP> MP> So where are their parents? MP> HAHAHAHA... Ummmm... I have an ex. She worked for, at the time Florida Power, it has since been bout out and is run by an other corporation... Anyway, it's a nuclear power plant and after 911 Florida Power had to make some policy changes. One of these many changes were that you couldn't bring you guns to work... ANYMORE... Back then I thought more Canadian... and I was Holly F*&K... people take guns to work and they are debating this... openly... because these people still want to take their guns to work... Anyway, decades later... I see their points now... BUT you don't really need your guns at work if there are armed guards at the gate. I've only lived in Red States. Where trucks drive around with guns in their gun racks in the fall... hunting season... I worked on the Pop Warner football league and we raffled off a gun during a fund raiser... Anyway... Guns aren't the problem... crazy people with guns are the problem. And the parents of these kids need to be responsible and insure that there are no guns in the cars the kids are driving.
