You have to be fucking kidding me. Several people knew there was a 6-yo wandering around with a gun and they felt they had to kick it up the chain to get a response?!
America.
Yup. It seems crazy to people from other countries, but that's just a thing that happens in the US
Lots of unsecured firearms and curious children
I'm a lefty gun nut and secure storage is my only idea that will help and get past the courts. Won't make a huge dent in overall gun deaths, but shit like this is inexcusable. Parents deserve prison time for these events. And I say that as a parent to two young ones who could find myself in front of a jury if I fuck up. Gun safety does not make allowances for "oops".
United States of Cowards
Well, it was "bring your gun to school" day.
That's everyday in a shithole country.
... Yes, and
Someone should have goosled that kid and shook him by the ankles till the gun fell out.
Goosled?
He was searched earlier by the victim and the gun wasn't found. If there's a rumor that a 6 y/o has a gun, yes, telling the principal seems like an obvious step somewhere in there. One would expect her to take the possibility seriously.
Now I'm really lost. As I understand it, kids can't have personal lockers anymore. So where does a 6-yo hide a gun? And then get to it later? From what I've seen with my stepson, and now my own little kids, they're marched around like prisoners, watched every second. Can you tell me more?
