1. This is a terrible story,,,,

such a tragedy on every level.

[Lunabell]

2. The parents need to be charged.

Or whoever allowed this child to get ahold of an unsecured gun. Just tragic.

[Maine Abu El Banat]

3. Charge them

As if they pulled the trigger. It's not gun ownership that bothers me. It's the way these callous redneck assholes handle them.

[TNNurse]

5. The gun owner needs to be charged with attempted murder,

to start...then others as well.

[USALiberal]

7. I 100% agree, and sue the shit out of them! Nt

[Emile]

13. My thoughts too!

[Emile]

4. Thinking about all the emotional or psychological trauma those little

children must be having after seeing their teacher shot in the chest.

[Paladin]

14. Think of the next 100 times it happens to kids in a classroom.

It's not like there are any effective countermeasures in this country.

16. This is one of the most disgusting things I have ever seen in my life and I am 68 years old.

[llmart]

21. +1

This should be grounds for removing the child from the home.

[littlewolf]

27. I got my first gun on my 7th birthday

.22 cal bolt action Springfield .. single shot I still own it ...
as long as the child is properly supervised ... no problem

[llmart]

28. Wrong.

No child can be "properly supervised" (whatever that looks like) every waking minute of every single day.

[littlewolf]

31. its simple .. "my" gun was locked up in the gun safe

with my dads guns and when we were going hunting or target practice
he opened the safe he took the guns out and put them in the truck
he took them out of the truck when we got were we were going
we walked from the truck into the woods since we were hunting squirrels
he watched me load the one round into the chamber with the bolt
locked to the rear he loaded his gun, we sat down and then I put the bolt
forward leaving the safety engaged, and we waited.
have a lot of very fond memories of those days.

didn't kill many squirrels but we had good talks.

[Solomon]

32. Its a fucking AR 15!

[Fla_Democrat]

33. That's a .22 LR

No better or worse than a 10-22 or a Mossberg Blaze. In fact, the Ruger is (imho) a better gun. The mags on the S&W always looked a little sketchy to me when loaded, they rounds didn't line up quite right.

[littlewolf]

34. I got a new Ruger 10-22 18 months ago

had to wait 3 months to get it .. back order
but it is worth it ...
a really nice weapon ...

[Fla_Democrat]

35. I got my first one back in 1982

Then, a few years ago when I decided to go legit and get my concealed carry permit, the range that was holding the class had a Charger up on the shelf.

My new favorite plinker is a charger 22 with a 1913 brace, a red dot and a banish can.


Was your back order due to supply chain, or special order (i.e. Stainless, laminate stock, etc)?

[littlewolf]

38. Must have been supply ...

Lots of ppl were getting them..
They sold as soon as they came in

8. I saw this article earlier in the day within minutes of it hitting the airways,

I was so distraught about it I couldn't bring myself to post it here, and I couldn't even tell my husband about until hours later.

[GreenWave]

9. Police have this six year old gunman still in custody.

Yes our locals are using the phrase gunman to describe this six year old.

Here is what is being said at this moment.

The six year old started arguing with the teacher. Then he pointed the gun at her and shot her in the chest. (If this is true, he shot to kill). Police are saying the shooting was intentional. He meant to do it. It was no accident/

I just wish they would drop the phrase on this Sinclair puppet station "Fortunately no students were hurt" because it sounds like the follow-up is yeah, just a teacher by the school haters.

[underpants]

10. Jesus

This is just crazy.

[Irish_Dem]

11. How does a six year learn to be so accurate w/ shooting skills?

15. It would take effort to miss someone if aiming for the chest close by. nt

[Irish_Dem]

18. Even for a six yr old?

[LAS14]

23. Yes. nt

[Irish_Dem]

12. What kind of a country arms six year olds?

[TheBlackAdder]

37. Meanwhile, the parents might be conflicted in their thoughts.

.

Happy the kid finally listened to them and went for the body mass.

Disappointed that the kid never completes school projects.





Starting at 2:55

.

[Irish_Dem]

41. It wouldn't surprise me at all if the parents of proud of their child.

For being such a good shot.

[Midnight Writer]

17. Around here, 8 to 12 years old is the accepted age kids are supposed to "harvest" their first deer.

Last edited Sat Jan 7, 2023, 04:13 PM - Edit history (1)

It is traditional for the child to then get "blooded" by dipping their fingers into the deer's blood and smearing it on their forehead.

My neighbor's daughter got her first deer at eight and refused to wash the blood off her head for days because she was so proud of it.

[Irish_Dem]

19. I would assume at the same time they are taught not to shoot their teachers?

[mercuryblues]

24. Kids listen so well

My son's best friend asked me why I refused to let my kid get a gun...

I looked him straight in the eye and said, "I can't get him to pick up his dirty socks in the middle of the living room, why would I let him bring a gun into my home?"

Yeah, he shut up.

[Irish_Dem]

29. Good answer.

But the question from the kid is an eye opener.

[mercuryblues]

30. oops

It was my kid's best friend's father who asked.
But still.

[llmart]

22. That is just some seriously sick "rite of passage".

Makes me sick to my stomach.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

25. What does this have to do with the OP?

[Midnight Writer]

26. Merely pointing out that lots of little kids are familiar with and encouraged to use guns.

So it is not surprising that a child could get a gun, take it to school, and have the skill needed to shoot a teacher in the chest.

[Kaleva]

40. When I was young, kids could take their guns to school during hunting season

No teachers or other students were shot.

39. Michigan actively encourages children under the age of 10 to hunt

"The Mentored Youth Hunting Program offers a great opportunity to teach children under 10 years old hunting skills and about the important role hunting plays in wildlife management. It is also a great way to pass along Michigan's rich outdoor traditions and conservation heritage. The program is designed to recruit youth into outdoor recreation at an earlier age. Studies show if children do not have an interest in an activity before age 10, it is unlikely they will continue with that activity later in life.

The program is geared toward parents and other adult mentors who want to teach children under the age of 10 how to hunt, trap and fish. It eliminates the minimum hunting age in Michigan, and allows parents to decide if and when their child is ready to go hunting."

My eight year old grandson got his first deer last fall.

36. So when we "arm the educators..."

…in an effort to provide cover for insane gun control policy in our nation; are we expecting teachers to “neutralize” six year olds…

[ailsagirl]

42. Just read that teacher is improving 🤞🤞

43. The Gun Owner

I know they normally won't charge parents for the crimes of their children, but they can sure as heck charge them for enabling the crime. Whoever was responsible for this gun obviously wasn't responsible and needs to be criminally charged.
