I often joked that I would consider myself a failure as a father if my children could not field-strip their weapons *blind-folded* by the age of six.

Thankfully, my better judgement prevailed... and I removed the blind-fold requirement. (Don't want to scare the townfolk, you know.)

Seriously, though, and without taking the bait, I think you should spend some time reading about background of violence in schools, and be sure to include the Secret Service's "Safe School's Initiative" 2002 report, as it makes for some interesting reading:

Bottom line: I would be more concerned about the school's handling of bullying than what's on sale at the local Big 5.
