Is there anything to be said for keeping guns away from teenagers? It seems to be the logical first step to me.

If a kid screws up, he is thrown out for good. Send him to a nice vocational school where he can learn woodworking or something.

Treat kids like criminals and thats what they'll become. We all know what its like to be a teenager, those are crucially important years. I think an authoritarian school system would be counter-productive in the extreme, reminds me of the Stanford Experiment somewhat. My school was uniformed, yes, but that made very little difference. The school was run on a partnership basis, with faculty and students as partners. Unequal parnters yes, but thats a given.
But of course school wasnt bliss. I was bullied (mildly by some standards), and can imagine that feeling, extrapolated to the severity reported in some school shooting cases, being totally driving and dominating. Who do these kids talk to?
They wont talk to a ****ing metal detector
