The students at my school were taking a timed test in which they had to assemble and disassemble an assault weapon in school today. I was particularly taken by the part where they all were jamming magazines into the gun while pointing the barrel directly at their seated classmates in front of the table. Something of my thoughts must have shown on my face, because on of my counterparts treated me to a 15 minute explanation of why it was important for children to know how to use guns. It's days like this when I feel completely alien in this country.
