OOPS!!! Maybe not a firearm, but still,most students know what constitutes a “weapon”. Don’t take it to school! It ain’t hard to understand.
Only reason for a student to take a firearm to school is to use it. Not like in the old days when a boy could stand his .22 in the corner ’cause he was going squirrel hunting after school! Even if a child has no intention of using the firearm, he/she knows the consequences if they are caught, so why take the chance? “What was he thinking?”
As a parent with children at school this scares the hell out of me!
Reading has nothing to do with it. That is why all these signs all over the schools and businesses that say “no weapons allowed” are useless. If a person has the mindset to bring a weapon of any kind wherever he or she is going, he or she will do it regardless of the laws, much less signs that are posted about it.
I’m glad no one was reported as being hurt in this incident.
It does seem like it ought to be obvious “don’t bring weapons to school,” but it can happen without malicious intent. At my school back in the 90s, two senior girls brought paring knives in their lunch to cut up their apples. A knife is still a knife, so they were suspended the same as some idiot showing off a firearm at school would be.
Future americans are being trained for a police state in the public schools.
Its apparent these kids cant read because they havent read what happens to other kids that take weapons to school. How dumb.
