Stupid kid, even worse parents.

The black wind begins to blow... Okay... give me your best shot... If you're prepared for the void!

Anyone but Foman. He smells like cheese.

I think: "There are parents out there who still, even after all these shootings, are not locking up their guns away from their kids? What the hell?"

Really?

Somebody brought a gun to school to shoot kids? I'll send my kid to school with a gun then.

How does that make any sense?

I graduated from high school on June-11-2011. I'm 19 right now. I'm turning 20 in December. I like playing video games, and board games. I like reading Sci-Fi, and World War II novels, and what not.

I don't blame him for being scared. I just want to know how he got the gun? It had to be laying around the house in the open.

Not really. Your mom is over quite enough to make my fears mute.

You're a mod, you should be used to that.

"Right now it is raining methane on Titan. The planet Uranus is, hilariously, orbiting the sun sideways while Venus spins backwards. We sit here on a planet marked with collisions, rocked by earthquakes, shaken by storms. A planet doomed to be fried in radiation as its magnetic fields collapse, until the sun grows and leaves nothing of the earth but dust. Here we sit, glasses on our noses, inhalers in our pockets, braces on our teeth, and we say "Behold the perfect ORDER of it all!""

Thoughts on parents? GOD -blam!- DAMN IT, IT'S A GUN! KEEP IT AWAY FROM CHILDREN!

Thoughts on the child? It's perfectly valid him being scared, and they're making a court case out of it?

That's a good point too. I don't blame him one bit.

But yes, obviously his parents should not be allowing an 11-year-old to have access to a gun unsupervised.

  • 12.18.2012 1:20 PM PDT

Why do they make it so easy for their kids to get hold of a gun?

I think the court case relates to him pointing the gun at other kids on the playground. The news article doesn't go into detail on those allegations or why he might have done that, but I'd be curious to find out.

I wouldn't be surprised if he was just showing off his gun. He is eleven, and basically bragging how he'll be able to take a gunmen down if another sick person tried anything.

If he does play GTA how does that involve in this? He brought the gun with him because he was scared of that shooting. So he brought it with him to defend himself from something like it.

  • 12.18.2012 1:22 PM PDT

Gonna be a real problem if he shoots anyone.

  • 12.18.2012 1:23 PM PDT

Cause he was scared... yeah right he just wanted to look cool otherwise he wouldn't have been pointing it at people on the field.
He wanted attention and used last weeks events as an excuse hoping he wouldn't get in trouble.

  • 12.18.2012 1:23 PM PDT

+1 for you good sir.

I don't blame the kid for being scared. I blame the parents for not properly securing their weapon.

for all we know he could of been planning to break out of the school, steal someone's car, murder a hooker and then cruise into baller territory to perform a drive-by

you've got to think ahead !

Studies show that men think about sex every 7 seconds. I do my best to eat hotdogs in under 6, just so things don't get weird.

I'm not surprised at all. All of the hype is building a sense of hysteria. Its effecting more than kids. My wife and her friends were just last night telling me that they are now nervous in crowded public places.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't school faculty allowed to bring guns to school in Utah?

Quote from Confucius

By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest.

I'm sure this is what the gun lobby is advocating for
