[quote=Anonymous]The only concern I have is that I hope that the MPD spoke with the child's family and made sure that if there are guns/bullets that are accessible to the child in question, they are now secured in such a way that they are not accessible and that everyone in the school community who owns firearms double checks the same thing.  In fact since its been brought to the attention of a wider audience- we should all do the same if we own firearms.  Its ridiculous to expect that the school should release the name of this child or their family, what are you going to do- march to their home and inspect it yourself? I'm actually concerned about the 'punishment' aspect of the conversation-kids do dumb stuff to act 'tough' especially in a sheltered community like CMI and I'd hope that the situation doesn't escalate.  I would really appreciate it of Golnar would reassure us that MPD has taken steps to insure that there are no loose firearms accessible to said child and perhaps do a gun safety assembly in the near future for all of the kids in the school. Frankly, in a country with such passion for firearms- we should offer gun safety instruction in schools the same way that we should have sex education in schools. the guns are around- the least we can do to prevent accidents is to educate our kids instead of just saying 'guns are bad- ignore them' that is the same thing as abstinence education for sex and we know how poorly that works.
