This school is only a few miles from me. I know that people make mistakes, and I'm glad none of the students ended up seeing that. But still...it's too bad that there's so much violence in our country that we need armed guards to protect our schools!

And the bubble gun? That's taking the fight against violence a little TOO far. Just sayin!

I think that it feels like adults are so desperate to stop another tragedy like Sandy Hook from happening again (and trust me, they are not alone) that they are throwing all their energy into protecting us against something like this happening...unless it happens to be an adult who makes a mistake. I'm sorry, but is it fair that a FIVE YEAR OLD gets suspended for saying she would shoot people with a BUBBLE gun (which is a little weird and should definitely get discussed with the little girl, but being suspended for that is RIDICULOUS) and a supposedly responsible ADULT and former SHERIFF leaves a gun in a school bathroom (yes, by accident, but still, are you kidding me? He left a gun in a school bathroom BY ACCIDENT?!?!?) and does not get punished? Not to say that either should be punished more or less or anything because that's not my call to make, but it just makes you think that there are different standards being set for adults and children to young adults...*sigh* it's just hard.

Okay, some little boy accidently left his pocket knife in his pocket and someone saw and reported him. He got expelled. Even though this guy leaving his gun was an accident he still needs some kind of punishment. What id it had been loaded? What would have happened then? We cant just pick and choose which things deserve to be acted upon. If you do it for 1, do it for all. That sends the message. Lauren T.

I get that you don't want to leave guns laying around, but I do think you need to take into consideration that it was unloaded.

Wow. A five year old got suspended from saying: "I'm gonna shoot you with a Hello Kitty BUBBLE gun". Puh-leeze. She's five...she doesn't know what she's saying. It was probably just a little kid joking around.
