Packing heat to school...

An 11-year-old boy in Utah reportedly told classmates that his parents
recommended that he take a gun to school for defense after the recent
mass shooting at an elementary school in Connecticut.

According to KSTU, students at West Kearns Elementary School notified
teachers after the sixth grader pulled a .22 caliber pistol out of his
backpack on Monday morning.

“At recess, he pointed a gun to my head and said he was going to kill
me,” fellow classmate Isabel Rios recalled.

Granite School District spokesperson Ben Horsley said that after the
staff was informed, the boy was “apprehended in 30 to 45 seconds and
immediately brought down to the office and the police were on site
within five to 10 minutes.”

Several parents told the Fox station that they were disappointed that
the school had only notified them with a pre-recorded message at 5:30
p.m., after the the students were already home.

“There was no lockdown,” parent John Klaus explained. “No one was
called. Nothing was done. And then we had to hear it from our kids.”

Ashlee Gordon said that she had decided to keep her 7-year-old son home
from school on Tuesday.

“I don’t want to have to be at work, or anything like that, and worry
about my child possibly not coming home, especially before Christmas,”
Gordon told KSTU.

Horsley said that it was “understandable” that several other parents had
also decided to pull their children out of school for a while.

“We are going to be working with those families, making sure they are
comfortable with the steps and actions the school is taking,” he insisted.

The Granite District Police Department booked the 11-year-old suspect on
three counts of aggravated assault. School officials also promised a
“lengthy” suspension, which would apply to all campuses in the district.

If the parents actually recommended the kid take the gun to school, they
ought to be arrested, too.

You mean it's not the gun's fault?

Here's a good few paragraphs!

Guns do kill. Guns kill daily. People may pull the trigger, but the gun
does the killing. How can anyone think otherwise? What sort of
disconnect happens within the minds of folks spouting this crap?

And to the gun-hoarding, Constitution-loving, Red, White and Blue
American shouting ?Second Amendment? every minute of every day? Well,
fine. You can have as many muskets and black powder pistols as you want.
Use the weapon of choice available when your favorite ****ing document
was crafted.

But no more automatic weapons. No more assault weapons. No weapons
capable of holding more than a single round. Black powder, musket ball,
wadding. That?s all you get. Nothing else.

Your Second Amendment rights don't trump the rights, or lives, of twenty
young children. No matter how you try to spin it
