5-year-old kindergartener brings pistol to school, is expelled

A 5-year-old boy climbed from a chair onto a washer-dryer, got an old pistol out a cupboard and brought it to kindergarten, where he was expelled for 10 days, officials said.

Now you watch these parents. They will sue the school district for about 10 million bucks and win. Then they will write a book about their lives and their 5 year olds life. The book deal will be worth 25 million. That gives 35 million to the parents. All because the parents do not know how to raise and/or are not raising the five year old in the proper manner. I see all this as the parents fault and they win.

I own more guns that any one man needs. Every gun has a trigger lock. Every gun is locked in a gun safe.
My oldest daughter is a cop and my grandson who is 5 years old has already learned what a gun can do and wants no part of them.
(Grandpa showed him a 44 mag will blow a skunk to hell and all the pieces arrive on a different day. LOL!)
She keeps her guns locked with trigger guards when she is at home and in a locked closet.
If you have guns and any possibility of a child or young adult around, they need to be locked and secured.
Teenagers are just as bad as a 5 year old.
The parents need an old fashion pistol whipping. Then maybe they will come to respect a gun. Guns don’t kill people, people kill people.
There’s nothing wrong with gun ownership if the owner is responsible. The problem is to many are not responsible and people die because of it.

I remember my mom talking about that. Haven't people learned not to place things were little kids can get them, if they're that dangerous? How come his guardians didn't notice him w/ the pistol? He must have known something about guns to take it to school, instead of just asking what it was.
