Elementary school students meander about in the hallway chattering about the
multiplication tables or which guy or girl is the cutest in the grade, meanwhile, a boy
around the age of 18 walks up to school, large face trembling, eyes popping out of

only qualified people should be allowed to possess a firearm, but that does go

claim is that guns are weapons of violence and should not be given out as charity.
