  1. hey, six year olds don’t purchase guns and they don’t learn how to use them on their own either!

  2. 6 or not you knew right from wrong

  3. You know the kid was black.

  4. Release the parents or guardians names. They are ultimately responsible for this. Stop talking about the kid. Talk about how/why he had access to a firearm and how he was able bring it to school. Was it Criminal negligence for the non proper storage of a gun in a home where minors are present? Was the gun registered if so to whom? Was the firearm loaded buy the child or was it found loaded? On and on..

  5. … unt wear did he git da gunn??? … WAIT FOR IT …. he slid out DA BERFF KANAL WHIFF IT …. (verk dis won owt …!!!) Dis thawt typed phone-nettic-kally four AWE-LL dis gwate nayshun's wahket zientits too untur-stand …. GIT IT …. ???

  6. These people are so backwards.

  7. Gun owners helped!

    -arm a kindergarten kid.

    -send him to school

    defund socialist daycare show respect for fellow citizens!

    Don't cry, your gun rights are still in tact.

  8. I’m guessing when he told the teacher I’m a boy, not a girl I don’t want to be a girl…. The teacher wouldn’t listen.

  9. Parents would have been better if they just gave their 6 year old kid an air soft gun

  10. Be honest…… It’s a cultural thing, America loves guns more than anything, much more than children, and nothing will ever change!
    Sandy Hook changed nothing.
    Uvalde changed nothing.
    Las Vegas, Columbine, Virginia tech, Robb, Parkland etc etc, nothing changed.
    It never will.
    The usual bullsht arguments will fill the airways for 3-4 days.
    “A good guy with a gun” crap.
    “Protect my property” crap.
    “2nd amendment” crap.
    “My freedom” crap.
    Maybe “arm all kids older than 5 years, because the only thing that will stop a bad 6 year old with a gun, is a good 6 year old with a bigger gun.” It’s INSANE!
    Gun loving is part of the American dream, it’s cultural and it will not change.

  11. Was he black or white? Or brown

  12. Stewie Griffin In Real Life.

  13. Who did the gun belong to?? 🤔😳

  14. Only in America can this happen and still many people will argue that gun ownership is a right to fight for.

  15. What’s next? …”Newborn kills mother shortly after birth. Arrested and in custody.” This is one sick world and it’s getting sicker. ☠️

  16. Im gonna hazard a guess that he was black?

  17. I hope they arrest the BLACK parents of the BLACK kid who shot the WHITE teacher.

  18. It’s so sad, but we still want freedom haha

  19. Put that little punk in the big house and keep him there until he's 60 or so teach him crim doesn't pay.🦇🦇🦇🦨🦨😝😝😝👽👽

  20. Watch the republicans blame it all on the teacher or mental health rather than the real access to gun problem

  21. I guess thats one thing that havent really been seen yet then huh. Do not really have much explaination of you americans, than that.
