Was reading it's only a class 1 misdemeanor to not keep a firearm properly locked up in VA.

Case is the perfect intersection between gun rights, gun control, tough on crime, and justice reform.

Another child saw the gun at recess, a teacher warned that the boy had a gun in his pocket and an administrator dismissed the threat, according to the lawyer for a teacher who was shot.

I really hope the teacher sues the shyt out of the school district and the parents of the shooter.

So the “administration’s” response to a teacher telling them they think they saw a gun in a child’s pocket is to dismiss it because the child’s pockets are small?

Are these really the type of people running America’s public schools? This is scary stuff.

I already said so at the time and now the thread about youth crime is confirming my answer.


The issue is that these children aren't getting locked up quick enough, for long enough. Do you really think he would have brought that gun to school if his homie Jake was celebrating his 7th birthday in the hole? You got to put fear into these little demons to keep them in line.


p.s. - not enough beatings either. I'll bet that little six-year old hasn't been hospitalized after whupping more than once a year. How is he ever gonna understand discipline and self-control if his parents aren't wilding out in anger every time he spills his food?

I feel bad for the teacher

The problem is people, not the guns. This kid should have been locked up a long time before it got to this point.
