how about a stock to get into to help this situation? LOCK

Lawmakers appear to have reached aggrement on
one issue at least: There is expected to be enough
Republican support to pass an amendment that
would require that child safety devices, like trigger
locks or sealed storage compartments, be included
with handgun sales. It would be up to the owner to
use the devices.

"It's going to pass" Hatch, who is co-sponsoring the
amendment with Sen. Herb Kohl (D-Wisconsin),
told ABC's "This Week."

The Republican-controlled Senate rejected a similar
proposal 61-39 last July. Hatch and 51 other
Republicans voted against last year, along with nine
Democrats.

The biggest difference between the two versions is
that the latest measure grants limited liability
protection to owners whose guns cause accidental
damage despite the proper use of the safety device.

Well, on the micro-society of ColB high school...it is being developed in the press that it was conservative students putting pressure on liberal-type students...I accept a genuine micro-society as normal and would only be alarmed if there were something behind a micro-society front...

(My school experience was that there was a "bad" crowd that might not use restraint and that might have weapons...that there was a capable athletic crowd that was under control because they were a part of supervised teams...and there was a "generic" crowd...and there were not any unusual conflicts between any of these groups...)...

But I just perceive J Ark as a reaction from conservative students reacting to changing attitudes...So there is not any sense of consistency in these events...
