I still can clearly remember how immature I was in HS, and basically 95% of all my HS classmates were just as bad. But arguments and fits of rage were settled with fists back then, did not know a single teen that had a handgun. And many times, a fight cleared the air, and you became friends with the other kid. But if guns had been available, there would have been dead kids, no doubt about it. That was long ago, but it is pretty bizarre that handguns are willfully made available to teenagers.

This was exactly my experience going to high school in the 1960s. Lots of fist fights but never a knife or gun. The stupid male adolescent brain with toxic levels of testosterone...

Easy access to guns and, no doubt, other cultural changes have made altercations much more deadly.
