When you spend 3 decades making people fear the gun and not teaching them about guns you get generations of people who have no idea what an actual gun is.

That's widely accepted and taught across the country.

Unless you’re military or police you probably never see it. Instead of making themselves useful the media chooses to blame someone or some gun during these instances instead of teaching.

Very heavy law enforcement presence around Coates Hall at #LSU. Several #LSUPD and @BRPD officers on scene with long guns. They’ve pushed us back to the Union @theadvocatebr

#LSUPD just put red crime scene tape around the perimeter of Coates Hall @theadvocatebr

When was it ever out of control? There was never any danger. Neither back braces nor bullet proof vests are illegal.

This just shows the current stupidity of society and the danger of herd thinking
