Ed Rosemann cavils with my position that JROTC in San Diego public high schools [like Point Loma High School] should move all riflery programs and guns off-campus ASAP. Could it be that he is gearing up as part of a well-known organized pro-gun lobby to urge the school board to make permanent its waffle on guns and just leave JROTC riflery at school sites after all? The wishy-washy school board majority earlier said no to guns, then backtracked to say that guns are OK until the kids have a chance to participate in interscholastic riflery competitions this spring. Now it’s spring and Mr. Rosemann materializes, touting “firearms marksmanship” as an Olympic sport, less dangerous than football and with a safe school record. All this, weeks after my letter and within one week of the 10-year anniversary of the Columbine High School tragedy. Contrary to Mr. Rosemann’s assertion, my statement stands: JROTC’s sponsors (the local military establishment) should arrange for marksmanship training to occur at more secure venues than San Diego public high school facilities. Guns of any kind and for any purpose do not belong on high school campuses. Period. To pretend that guns are analogous to knives in cooking class or needles in sewing class is disingenuous, and besides, I don’t think home economics classes are offered anymore. No more tuna bake, no more aprons, no more guns.
