Monday here in Sparks a kid killed a teacher, injured two others and took his own life. Then in Cali a kid is busted for having fake guns, and today a kid getting busted for having possession of several ammunitions and gun.

Background checks are needed. Also some people should no longer reproduce.

If this is because of parents failing to secure their weapons properly then they deserve to rot in jail for life.

Guns are becoming a problem, and if this is going to start becoming a problem in schools, then something drastic needs to happen.

Lady thing you want is your own kid being in danger and afraid to go to school.

Obviously very sad, but... I don't see how this problem gets checked.... metal detectors at schools? Maybe the TSA!

How do you think background checks would help? Are their parents former felons?

And let's shy away from eugenics ;)
 
It's really sad, I don't understand how parents let their kids be around firearms let alone the kids knowing where the firearms are hidden in the house...
 
it all comes down to proper parenting

whether they're around them or not, as you long as you teach your kids responsibility, respect, self-control, and proper gun safety, it shouldn't matter if they know where the guns are stashed.
 
Maybe they need to tone down the manufacturing of guns all together?, I mean good parenting can only really go so far... but still crazy as hell how all this is happening.
 
Are you kidding me? I don't understand how parents can be so oblivious to the fact that if not careful your kids can take your guns. Guns are starting to become a real problem in schools and that is the only place guns should never be allowed. If you have guns then you would think you would be responsible enough to have kids and have them coexist. Seems like just the opposite, some parents are just not ready. Its not something you can take for granted, kids safety around guns should always be on the top of your list as a parent. First off they shouldn't be able to get their hands on the weapons themselves in the first place. I have guns in my house but I keep them in lock boxes or in places that I don't tell other people when they come over. That is just extremely frustrating and irresponsible on the parents end. All of this could be avoided...that's the part that bugs the crap out of me
 
Licensing/Background checks won't do much to deter kids from making bad choices in life. It comes down to parental supervision and taking the time to explain how to use a firearm to their children.

That being said, there are a lot of irresponsible adults out there.
 
lol its funny when people blame the guns. Its even funnier that the states with the most strict gun control laws have the highest crime rates/shootings/murders/etc. It always comes down to parenting. ALWAYS. I know when I have kids I will be teaching them the responsibilities of guns and how to properly use them. I always have a loaded gun. But they will never know where it is. It truly is sad that this is all happening at a frequent rate now.
 
It's easier to stop people from buying guns than having babies. "I was so wasted last night, I woke up with a gun." Not so much...

My kids are being homeschooled. If anyone shoots them, it's gonna be me.
 
Some parents fail at being parents.
How the hell can a 11 year old get a gun and ammunition and go to school ready to go crazy?
If parents were smart, then the kid would never been able to take the weapon to school.

I can't believe how irresponsible some parents could be.
