Coincidentally, I discovered this topic on the same day this happened in Australia.

I just cannot imagine how a middle schooler can get their hands on a gun? I know my couldn't, thankfully.
Some adult needs to be held responsible also for letting their gun get away.

Unfortunately, I think it's possible that yours could. It doesn't matter if you don't have guns or your guns are secured - all it takes is for them to know someone else whose parents' guns aren't secured.

Maybe these kids just need a hug and not just treated as an accessory. Kids don't know how to deal with failure anymore, everyone gets trophies, scores aren't kept, parents don't tell them no because they don't want to deal with the temper tantrums.

This country is raising a bunch of spoiled brats that don't know how to release their aggression in a safe way.

I don't often agree with you. But this post I agree with completely.
