2nd grader in Arizona brings 2 guns and ammunition to school

August 30, 2022

BOWIE, Ariz. (AP) — A second-grade student at a southeastern Arizona elementary school is facing charges for allegedly bringing two guns and ammunition to school, authorities said Wednesday.

Cochise County Sheriff’s officials said they were called Monday to Cochise Elementary School in Bowie on reports that a 7-year-old student had a weapon.

Deputies met with school officials and the student and said a handgun and ammunition was found in his backpack and a second gun also was discovered.

Authorities contacted the student’s parents and gave the boy a juvenile referral for charges of misconduct with a weapon and a minor in possession of a firearm.

A sheriff’s spokeswoman said it was unlikely that the boy’s parents will face charges in the incident, which remains under investigation.

1. I'd like to know why this child believed it was necessary to bring

weapons to school.

Was it in reaction to Uvalde, TX and he thought he could protect himself from an inevitable attack?

Was he being bullied?

7. My first thoughts, too. I hope they don't just go on to BAU without finding the answer. ❤️

2. He didn't say "gay" did he?

3. Why aren't the parents being charged for not securing those weapons?

A child that age should not have access to firearms.

6. Exactly!

8. Yes, a very big concern in this kind of case.

Parents are negligent.

And WHY, fucking WHY, will the parents not face any charges????????????????????????

5. But But But

The 2nd amendment says we all get to keep and bear arms. Even 2nd graders and the mentally ill and felons and terrorists. Guns for everybody.
The 2nd amendment also says "A well regulated militia". Wonder why the right keeps forgetting those four words?
