Of course guns are all over every level of America’s schools, but most are in the hands of individual students.
UD has for years said on this blog that the inevitable progression will be toward the Columbine model – guns in the hands of two or more students in a conspiracy to take down the school.
Battery Creek High School was under lockdown for several hours Wednesday after two students were found with handguns. Beaufort County [SC] school officials said there was “no direct threat” made to students or faculty.
‘No direct threat.’ Right.
Police searched [one] student after receiving an anonymous tip about possible suspicious activity. Information from the first student prompted police to question another Battery Creek student, who was also found with a handgun about an hour later.
Take a bow, SC. You’ve got just about the weakest gun laws in the country, with particular liberality toward minors, who can buy all the guns they want without any parental oversight. No need to feel threatened.
