What do you mean coming to? As much of a tragedy it is, this sort of thing sadly happens every day in the USA. It’s the norm over there and has been for as long as I can remember.

I can assure you that a six year old child shooting their class teacher is not the norm over here.
 
.......and the gun lobby shout that its an essential "freedom" and "liberty" to carry and own fire arms.:unsure:
 
And will continue Ad infintum. The US is full of disperse dense people who are basically ungovernable.

I’m waiting on some half wit in the NRA to trot out the line that this wouldn’t have happened had the teacher been armed herself

Yes but I think they may also that she is in their “ thoughts and prayers”. No doubt that will be a significant comfort to her.
 
The scary part is that a 6 year old has actively taken it into school and more so knows how to use it.

I would imagine it will turn out to be his parents weapon. Using a gun isn't as 'simple' as picking it up and pulling the trigger. He must have some knowledge. You see loads of ridiculous videos on YouTube of Americans letting kids shoot guns.

Absolutely madness 😕

I suspect that line would be a bit difficult in this instance "Teacher shoots 6 year old boy". NRA "wouldn't have happened if the boy had been armed".

I wouldn't have a clue how to fire a gun and load it. Something deeply wrong in that country.
