6 year old shoots teacher

Tweet

It happened in Virginia and police say that it wasn't an accidental shooting. A SIX YEAR OLD CHILD had access to a loaded weapon and brought it to school. Apparently after some kind of disagreement the student shot the teacher with a firearm he brought from home. The teacher is currently listed in critical condition but doctors have hopes for improvement. The child is in police custody and it seems that they want to transfer him to a hospital or other facility to evaluate his mental state. This. Is. Effing. Disgusting. As a teacher I am SICK AND TIRED of having to fear for my life every day due to school shootings. The helicopter parents, the apathetic parents, the disrespectful students, the administration allowing students to do what they want. . . that is bad enough. I draw the line at getting shot at work because a student is pissed at me or just life in general. Screw the 2nd Amendment. It was written in a time when guns weren't as powerful as they are today. People who feel the need to walk around packing guns need to look into their minds and ask why. Everyone thinks New Jersey is some slum but we can't open or close carry firearms. I've gotten to the ripe old age of 40+ without them. I am not worried about being shot at the local Dunkin. I have absolutely no tolerance for anyone who advocates for AR-15s for the regular public. No one needs them. I also am not in favor of loose gun regulation where you can have a 6 year old having access to a loaded weapon that parents don't notice that he took to school. I am so sick of being a potential target. This country has a serious gun problem.
