Student shoots two school administrators (Omaha, NE)

[archibaldcrane]

and that the detective taught him how to shoot at a young age...........

I'd be surprised if the "kids who have easy access to guns and were taught how to use them as children" have a higher "firearm incident rate" than "kids who have easy access to guns but were not taught how to use them".

Unbelievable for that.

I've owned a gun since I was 12 and shot it all the time. I lived on a farm for awhile and the neighbors would pay me to take out all the pests that lived in their barns. Guns have been a major part of my life. One of my first memories is going shooting with my dad.

Never would pick up a gun and shoot at someone.

One of my first memories is going shooting with my dad.

Am I the only one who read this part as, "One of my first memories is shooting my dad."?

Was already established I thought he took his dad's sidearm. Maybe i'm in the minority, but my mom was a deputy reserve, and my dad retired as a Lieutenant for ACSO. I was taught at a young age to respect firearms, to never point them at someone, even if you know it's empty, how to properly clean, load, and unload a six shooter by age 13. Hell my x's uncle who is a huge gun enthusiast was impressed when he handed me his glock and I told him to remove the one from chamber as I wasn't familiar with that gun.

As for the dad, I'd be amazed if he didn't keep it secured, but told his kids how to get to it if needed in an emergency. All in all a sad thing, but one less emo cock sucker who can't man up and deal with consequences for his actions to deal with.

What ever happened to getting into fights at school, that wasn't enough?
