Zwerner's attorneys said Parker failed to act in the hours before the shooting after several school staff members told her that the student had a gun in his backpack.

You have to be fucking kidding me. Several people knew there was a 6-yo wandering around with a gun and they felt they had to kick it up the chain to get a response?!

    Yup. It seems crazy to people from other countries, but that's just a thing that happens in the US

    Lots of unsecured firearms and curious children

    I'm a lefty gun nut and secure storage is my only idea that will help and get past the courts. Won't make a huge dent in overall gun deaths, but shit like this is inexcusable. Parents deserve prison time for these events. And I say that as a parent to two young ones who could find myself in front of a jury if I fuck up. Gun safety does not make allowances for "oops".

    He was searched earlier by the victim and the gun wasn't found. If there's a rumor that a 6 y/o has a gun, yes, telling the principal seems like an obvious step somewhere in there. One would expect her to take the possibility seriously.

    Now I'm really lost. As I understand it, kids can't have personal lockers anymore. So where does a 6-yo hide a gun? And then get to it later? From what I've seen with my stepson, and now my own little kids, they're marched around like prisoners, watched every second. Can you tell me more?
