Do you remember when…

(I think) I remember when Americans acknowledged we were all on the same team, and weren't so ‘doom and gloom’ about differences.

I remember when you could take your shotgun on the school bus and nobody called the swat team or got shot.

I did that as soon as I was old enough to get a hunting license. Shotgun for bird season and a rifle for deer season. Most of my friends did the same and we'd have a stack of guns in the corner of the classroom. Way of life and no one said a thing.

This may seem odd as I grew up in Canada, but we had an indoor rifle range in our high school, and a shotgun in the rack of every pickup truck. My first deer rifle was delivered in the mail. I didn’t even have to sign for it. I’m not that old. How did it get this messed up so quickly?
