So it would be correct to assume that it was not the norm and even if not seen as 'dangerous' still rather unlikely?

Well... consider TerminallyChill's post above.

This article says that the school it mentions, transitioned from .22 rifles to air rifles in 1999:

I wouldn't mind. I did a basic pistol handling and safety course before I even registered for a firearms license.
I am not saying he's lying or anything like that and I believe that some teeangers brought their rifles to school in the 50s - I mean HEY it's THE 50s man!
But I hoped for some more informations about it. Like how common it was.

I don't have any direct information, but the article mentioned the use of .22 rifles; I must assume that students could bring their own, though I don't supposed they would be bringing it with them to each of their classes, during the day.
I guess it always remained some obscurity in more rural areas.
Also as a side note, I recently read a suggestion which I find very interesting and actually pretty good. The i dea is that all news agencies decide mutually to not release personal informations about mass shooters/school shooters as it seems that for some the motivation behind their actions seems to be the media attention. Like, even if it's infamous popularity, but the thought is, they will remember the shooter now.

I've seen stuff like that happen with a much smaller caliber weapon in a place that wasn't a proper shooting range.
@Carib FMJ ,
I'd like to hear your take on the school shooting. And others too, just your take on it, how you feel about it, what should be done about it, etc.

And I don't care. This is what every gun control debate invariably devolves into. You expect me to follow your every argument and refute everything you link. No. I don't care. And I don't have to care. I've already wasted too much time on dead end arguments and it's frankly the whole reason why I initially left this thread (and the previous ones like it).You can huff & puff and make demands all you want.
As good a reminder as any that I've wasted too much time already, I guess.Says the person posting 1000+ word arguments about firearm legislation on an online video game forum. Ok.
That means I'm out. Cya.

Ok with SuAside bowing out I guess that's one down, several more to go for the anti-gun posse. 
At least he has the mental capacity to leave this thread instead of wasting hours of his time just hammering arguments into his keyboard that won't convince anyone, anyway.
Well, I guess in your case it's not much of a timewaste since your arguments are more often than not just drive-by twitch&spittle posts without much argument or coherence to them. I guess pigeon chess is as valid as ever.

Go ahead and comment on the thread subject, or are ad hominems more up your alley?
I don't expect you to follow my every argument and refute everything I link. I linked one thing. And asked you for evidence for one specific questionable statement said link was posted in reply to. HOW UNREASONABLE OF ME.

Sorry, but if debate is not an exercise in following arguments and refuting questionable points or backing up valid ones, then what exactly is it?
Honesty, at this point, people make arguments like 'but A can kill, why don't we ban that?' Are more retarded than MrMattyPlays reviewing a Bethesda game.
SuA was obviously just here to enlighten the unwashed NMA plebs with his rock-solid "so true it's as obvious as the moon orbiting the earth duh" knowledge, not to actually debate or anything. Debating is for people whose every statement isn't undisputable gospel.

The trick is to not equate leaving the issue (undefended), with losing the argument. The issue doesn't swing the other way for not sticking around and maintaining it.

And he pointed out the truth of people posting an avalanche of garbage and then demanding you shift through all of it.

Nonsense. No-one is demanding a thing. Nobody is being forced to stick around and keep arguing against their will. But if you can't or won't debate contentious points, what does complaining about having to do so achieve? What do you think a debate is? An outlet for making unprovable claims with the expectation that people will just swallow them?
People can stick around or not as they please, but if a claim can't be backed up when challenged, then it becomes meaningless to the debate.

We shouldn't forget that there are people which don't believe in this, the moon orbiting the earth I mean.
I mean we really don't want to offend anyone now, do we?

Calm down, guy. You seem to be under the impression that this was even a debate to begin with. it's a shit show.
