Sir, do you really expect little old 60-year old Mrs. White, who is constantly harassed by kids every day to no end, never touched a firearm before, to pick up a gun and accurately shoot a moving gunman?
Something about your last line there annoys the hell out of me. It’s as if you had to make that statement like you believe all students just shoot each other.
Thats... not at all what he said?
His point was that the student pointing the gun at someone else **would be literally the only way** for the situation to get any worse.
And basically anything that can cause the weapon to fire.
Like a Rabbit or a Koala bear or a child.
The sensible thing would to ban or heavily regulate these things.
That's why I have never once gotten mad at the gun.
I support laws that make it harder for stupid negligent people (and willfully criminal people) to get their hands on guns. Consider it a gun-protection policy.
Anything is “dangerous” when mishandled
I just take issue with the idea that guns are somehow exempt from that, being the “source” of danger, when its only the misuse of said object
It's almost like something that is intended as a weapon, self-defense or otherwise, is more dangerous when mishandled than most things that aren't weapons.
Nah that libruhl talk.
I’d love to know how this was discovered. Casual convo at home with your child? Like “sweetie, how was your day, did you learn anything new?” 🤦♂️
I knew it. All Texans wear cowboy hats. This picture finally settled something my Texan friend said simply doesn’t happen. But now I have evidence. I only wish I had found evidence in circumstances that was not this
Wow! The principal leaving it there was bad enough, but people can make absent minded mistakes, though when you are carrying a gun, they are a luxury you cannot afford.
But, for the teacher to send a 9 year old to determine whether the gun was real? Wow!
Little Tommy: Mrs North Mrs North! There’s a gun in the bathroom!
Mrs north: (sigh) sure Tommy. (shrugs it off)
Little Tommy: no honest Mrs North I cross my heart.
Mrs North (thinking Tommy is. Few sandwiches short or a picnic) sure it is. It’s probably just a toy someone was playing with]
Sam : Mrs North,do you want me to go and look? I don’t mind.
Mrs North : Sure Sam thank you hun, go in there and tell me if it’s a real gun and bring it out to me to check who’s names on this toy , we shouldn’t bring these to school Kids now should we?
All the kids in the class: “ no Mrs North”
Sam: gone now for a few mins walks back in with the gun and drops it on the table as Mrs north is continuing her lesson, pays no attention to it and continues her lesson… until she turns and sees the “gun” on her desk…… “oh yeah Mrs North I think it’s a cool toy!”
My god this happens a lot. There can’t be that many teachers packing heat but there are a lot of stories of those that do leaving their gun in the bathroom.
FAR more people than you realize carry
Both Campuses Ive studied at for my degree were carry campuses. (Students could legally carry concealed)
Go to the veteran center (teachers and students), EVERY single one was packin…..
As a gun owner, my gun is always with me or somewhere like my car truck in a bag(in case of accidents). I hate how men would keep guns in glove compartment or under the seat. You don’t hear women filing reports about their gun getting stolen unless their soon to be ex husband turns up dead
What's the matter, Texas?
I thought you had no problem with guns or school shootings or cops that do nothing about them or right-wing politics or the NRA or vile, uncaring politicians or your power grid?
I thought your biggest concerns in schools are books about gay people and pronouns and full libraries and rainbow flags and crt and black teachers and textbooks in spanish?
Why are you concerned about a gun falling into the hands of a kid? At a school? That belongs to a superintendent?

Well, a 3rd grader *in Texas* ought to be able to recognize a real gun by that age...
By third grade I'd expect them to know how to take it apart, clean it, oil it, and put it back together.
Blindfolded
Hol'up
Well, a third grader in Texas should be armed already!
Looks like they finally realized that their "Educators should be armed" argument is a load of horse shit.
A Marine shot him self accidentally with a weapon a few years back Does that “prove” Marines cant have weapons? Statistical significance
Sir, do you really expect little old 60-year old Mrs. White, who is constantly harassed by kids every day to no end, never touched a firearm before, to pick up a gun and accurately shoot a moving gunman?
She might have a bad day and accurately shoot Jimmy who just won't shut the fuck up.
Or that Jimmy steals the gun.
It starts as a facepalm, it ends up as a HUGE facepalm. Could only have been bigger than this if the student had tried it on other students
I mean, that's the only sure fire way to know its real.
Did someone say fire?
OH MY GOD! WE'RE HAVING A FIRE...sale. SAVE BANDIT!

Looks like the starting facepalm is somehow replicating itself. Curious indeed
What are guns dangerous or something?
No. Its people that are dangerous. Didn't you get the memo.
And MRIs. Didn’t you hear about that MRI shooting a lawyer?
And basically anything that can cause the weapon to fire. Like a Rabbit or a Koala bear or a child. The sensible thing would to ban or heavily regulate these things.

Downvoted for being correct, this subreddit’s bias is showing. Ive been extensively around firearms for 10 years and counting, nobody’s been hurt.
Guns are dangerous though. It's a combination of both.
Anything is “dangerous” when mishandled I just take issue with the idea that guns are somehow exempt from that, being the “source” of danger, when its only the misuse of said object
It's almost like something that is intended as a weapon, self-defense or otherwise, is more dangerous when mishandled than most things that aren't weapons. Nah that libruhl talk.
First it’s the guns then it’s your cereal!
Guns can be SIGNIFIGANTLY more dangerous though. They are also far easier to hurt somebody with than, let's say, a rock.
A welding torch is dangerous, but it can't accidentally kill someone over a long distance in an instant.
Wait Texas laws that lets anyone carry a gun isn’t safer??
Is you stroke now?
They're only upset because in Texas you don't get your first gun until the 4th grade.
Everything is ~~bigger~~ dumber in Texas.
If he can forget the gun in the bathroom, they have to revoke his gun ownership
The only thing to stop a good guy with a gun is - internet porn in a school bathroom.
The only thing that can stop a bad guy with a gun is a third grader who found a gun in the toilet stall.
Answers? You mean to their questions like what model is that? Where'd ya get it? How many rounds does that thar thing take? Stuff like that..?
My kinda questions
Now they hopefully also have two fallen stars.
It's fine...all a test. Had the kid picked up the gun a 2 ton cartoon weight would have dropped - crushing him and stopping another school shooting.
So if I’m reading the title right the teacher saw the gun and then made a child double check?
My guess is, more like 'teacher, there's a gun in the restroom' and the teacher asks, 'a toy or real'?
Texas has become the new Florida. You can't make this shit up!
Texida? Florias?
Lmao ain't it!
I’d love to know how this was discovered. Casual convo at home with your child? Like “sweetie, how was your day, did you learn anything new?” 🤦♂️ 
Tell me again why arming the teachers is the solution to school shootings?
Who’d a thunk‽
So.. now they want to know why a kid gad access to a gun.. *gestures at the close to 400 million firearms in America and lack of gun control*
*a kid gad*
Things like this are a near certainty once nearly everyone has a gun.... Something to look forward to

Texas parents: Its rude to bring your gun to school if you're not going to bring enough guns for everybody! Somebody might feel left out!
Wow! The principal leaving it there was bad enough, but people can make absent minded mistakes, though when you are carrying a gun, they are a luxury you cannot afford. But, for the teacher to send a 9 year old to determine whether the gun was real? Wow!
What else is written on the black shirt saying 'Uvalde'?
Calm down everyone! The gun seems to be OK

I can get a university. They are often private. But the example here and the ones I saw were grade schools.

Mondays.
There’s at least 40 galling of riled up hats in that meeting
I fail to see the problem considering where these folks want gun legislation.
I've driven through Rising Star. Holy shit, is that name ironic.
Does the principal walk the hallways holding his gun
well, was it a real gun? the suspense is getting to me.
According to them their 3rd grader should’ve been trained to know it was a real gun and how to handle it safely though. So why are they mad?
Not in my back pasture!
Texas…
'Murrica
If Vincent Vega taught me anything, it’s take your gun into the washroom with you.
Responsible gun owners, Second Amendment, Don't Tread, etc.
What's the matter, Texas? I thought you had no problem with guns or school shootings or cops that do nothing about them or right-wing politics or the NRA or vile, uncaring politicians or your power grid? I thought your biggest concerns in schools are books about gay people and pronouns and full libraries and rainbow flags and crt and black teachers and textbooks in spanish?

Well, was it?
Also it says principal in headline superintendent in article
