To a degree I think polls back that argument, except that many of those voters consistently vote for politicians that aggressively push "they're coming for your guns!" fearmongering, and oppose every single legislative effort to put together any reasonable gun control.
Wait a tick. According to the article, administrators at the school heard he may have had a weapon prior to the shooting and couldn’t find it after searching his bag? So this 6yr old, with an “acute disability”, was able to procure the gun from a “safe” spot, take it to school, HIDE IT FROM ADULTS, and shoot his teacher? What…the…fuck… >

Schools who want to skirt their responsibilities under the ADA to provide the kid an IEP might just pull some nonsense like this. I'm going to go out on a limb and guess it's a poor school district. >

Teacher here. At one school I taught at, a drug dealer had three of his friends help him sell and distribute drugs. When caught, the three friends were expelled. The drug dealer stuck around to commit more offensives because the school couldn’t legally prove that his drug selling behavior wasn’t part of his behavior disorder that was covered by his IEP. 🤡 >

it's suddenly making a lot more sense why in high school my special ed class was 90% filled with the kids who threw chairs at teachers >

I am sure that the kid does have a disability. The responsibility lies on the parents to lockup the firearm. In cases that are rare, and a 6 year old can break into a lock. It is on the parents to still secure the firearm. If a 6 year old got it, than it was not secure. >

That’s the crazy part is all the updates I’m seeing is the parents are maintaining it was secure?? >

You mean the parents are lying to protect their own asses? >

No, that’s the lawyer’s job! >

The parent's job is to be quiet and not speak to anyone without their lawyer's permission.  Instead, they are acting like public relations is their job and making their lawyer want to shoot himself. >

All he has to do is invite the kid to the mediation. >

No need, if a gun is safe locked away no 6 year old can get it
That simple >

Having read the parent's side of the story I realize this kid is a master lockpicker, a savant at free climbing, a smuggler and liar who could get you in and out of North Korea blindfolded, and filled with such killer instinct that the only reason his teacher survived is that he didn't shoot to kill.  After all, as an aspiring 00 agent he has not yet to be issued his license to kill. >

Oceans 6 and 1/2 >


“Our family has always been committed to responsible gun ownership and keeping firearms out of the reach of children,” said the family, which was not identified. “The firearm our son accessed was secured.”

Someone should explain to them what "secured" means. >

I would like them to explain what they think secured means. >

"It was in my purse." >

"In the nightstand drawer that has a lock but we forget to lock it." >

Anything a 6 year old can gain access to is not "secure". The parents are morons and should be in jail. >

Gun rights come with gun responsibilities. >

I think you might have meant to say "Gun rights should come with gun responsibilities". Not all voters, and consequently not all legislators, share your position. >

I thought most voters support some form of reasonable gun control legislation, but the legislators/lobbyists don't.
