Clearly, 6 year olds should be discouraged from taking guns to school.

Are the parents God fearing law abiding citizens?

I'm Catholic (Save it assholes I've heard every Catholic joke on the planet. ) and went to Catholic schools K-12. You know what Catholics typically have? Big families. Almost without fail one of these big family brats ends up being a complete meathead. They were raised exactly the same as the other ten kids, with the same expectations put on them. But they just ended up bad no matter what the parents did the little pricks were assholes.

Oh I agree with you, just curious if the parents are of the woke variety.

I was raised in a large Catholic family and went to Catholic school K-12 also. I knew a lot of kids that grew up in the same circumstances but never heard of one going this far off the rails at such an early age. Sure there were plenty of “meat heads” but they didn’t go around shooting people before they were 10. I would be willing to bet that this kid is not the product of a large Catholic family but of another stereotype

74% minority enrollment. How many if these kids have 2 parents at home.

True, but think back; There were no school shootings when we were kids. It didn't really exist.

There also wasn't social media where EVERYTHING is posted online as it happens.

I grew up without a dad which was very rare in the 50's but never thought about shooting someone at 6, 12 or 18. I get sick of excuses.

I don’t know where or when you went to school, but this idea they are brand new is a total myth

Go read the Moynihan report, NAACP of Maryland Report of 1994 and HHS report of 1995 that show ,conclusively, that males raised in single mother households show a massive tendency towards violent crime than others. This is regardless of race, religion or socio economic background.

And we ignore it because we are spending massive amounts of money to create the conditions that make these ferals.

HTF does a 6 year old have enough brain power to intentionally shoot someone?

If a slide action gun, how does this kid even jack the bullet into the chamber?
(Could be a revolver, but so what)
I'm just baffled by the idea a 6 y/o can do something like this.

From the late 1980s to the early 1990s the United States saw a sharp increase in gun and gun violence in the schools. According to a survey conducted by The Harvard School of Public Health "15% said that they had carried a handgun on their person in the past 30 days, and 4% said that they had taken a handgun to school in the past year." a sharp increase from just five years earlier. By 1993, the United States saw some of the most violent time is school shooting incidences.
Seems the destruction of the traditional family that began in the 1960's came to fruition. I also blame the removal of God from schools and from the general discourse.
