Gun falls out of 16 y/o’s backpack

Tort lawyers are the cause of mass shootings? Or are tort lawyers standing in the way of protecting America's precious children from guns?

Either way I think there's something closer to the problem that might be being overlooked.

At one of our local High Schools a 15 year old kid kid had his backpack under his desk and accidentally unzipped, his handgun slided out into the floor where the teacher was the first to notice it…

This was not reported by the media and the kid is being removed to a school for troubled kids…

So, other than reducing the availability of firearms, what can we do about the situation that happened much more than is reported?

Any ideas? My kids go to these schools!

Metal detectors and see through back packs.

I haven't experienced clear backpacks for corporations. If it got to the point that my workplace REQUIRED that everyone have clear backpacks because there was a danger of a mass shooting that high, I'd probably just quit.

But obviously mass shootings happen at workplaces all the time, so maybe it's called for everywhere. I love how the Second Amendment has made America SO SAFE that we need armed guards at churches, metal detectors and "hardened" walls and windows at schools, and now clear backpacks for your job.

America is knockin' this outta tha park! Guns for the win! And the only cost is a few thousand dead innocent people whose only crime was going to the movies once!

The intent of the Second Amendment was to prevent tyrannical government and for the self-defense of its citizens.

It would help if the far left Democrat loons would cease and desist with their release of violent criminals and their ban on bail and their de-funding of the police.
 
The obvious solution is better parenting.

When I was school age it was made very clear to everyone that the actions of the child would produce consequences to the parents.

Get draconian on the parents and see if that doesnt have an impact on the children's behavior.

Do you understand that there are about 5000 students going to that school, we don’t have the budget to metal detect all of them. Tallahassee won’t give us that money. Additionally, it would be a very complex operation to do it in a secure way. Maybe it’s the answer, but we would need additional tax money for sure.

You take up a collection for increased security. If people can contribute to sending the band to play in a parade somewhere they can raise money for better security. Get off your lazy butt and do something other than whining on the internet.

That's what the hand-wringing newscasts are for after the tragedy. We don't worry about that stuff up front.

To be fair, many of us who grew up in hunting families had a gun by the age of 15. I had .410 shotgun. Handguns probably a bit more rare, but America is full of gun nuts who think of guns more as funtime toys than deadly tools.

Unfortunately true.

Same here; I first shot a gun when I was six and learned to shoot when I was 10 through the NRA and participated in Father-Son competitions at Fort Carson, CO. I was also on the JROTC rifle team. At no time did it ever cross my mind to bring a gun to class for Show and Tell.

Really? Not the plethora of guns our nation is awash in coupled with a society that treats all problems as soluble with a gun?

Ahh, a society built on mutual fear of each other. That's going to make things so much better, especially when we have enough guns to make sure every man, woman and child can have one.

Yeah, I grew up around guns and in a hunting family. Guns were not objects of worship like they are to most ammosexuals today. My dad and 1970's era gun safety training taught me that guns are great tools but should be treated with seriousness and respect.
