Was "youth-yielding-handgun" a commonly heard phrase 20 years ago? What I'm getting at is, is the "I'm offended / nanny state" mentality causing all of this stuff? Kids aren't scared of stepping out of line these days because authorities nor their parents have power to do anything

Wasn't he a trained sniper? There's reference to him in one of the Vietnam films (Full Metal Jacket I think).

Wiki tells me he was a sharpshooter & scored 215 out of a possible 250 in his test.
That's pretty good, but nowt exceptional.
