At least it wasn't a 'Decorated Oval Hunt'.

Just damn. This would have been OK if it was NRA-sponsored.

Damn!
We were having an Easter gun hunt, and all my kids found were eggs.
I hate when that happens.

One of the guns discharged when it was dropped, according to a police report, but it was unclear who dropped it.

Looks like the silly whole community could use some Eddie Eagle training!

Everyone with kids should have a copy of Eddie Eagle and play it frequently for their younger children. Neighbors kids too, if possible.

A group of children hunting for Easter (search) eggs Saturday during a church event found two loaded handguns outside an elementary school.

Obviously planted by HCI staffers. ;-)

Why the ";-)"? I seriously wouldn't put it past them doing something like that to advance their agenda.

I wouldn't put it past them either but since they were found on a school ground by children, I thought it best to show the folks who thought it was in bad taste to know I was saying it in a non-serious way.

"GUNdry Elementary School?"

You sure you're not making this up?

Flint police said officers were called to the scene and also recovered a BB gun and a broken toy gun on the grounds of Gundry Elementary School.

It appears that the BB gun and broken toy gun were in addition to the two loaded weapons found.

Cool!

But it doesn't say what model guns the kids got.

Is Eddie Eagle the one in the NRA videos?

My question regarding the guns being found on school grounds is: How could those guns have been there previously and not already been found by children attending the school? This whole incident seems a bit strange to me.

You're right. I wondered about that too. I don't know any gun owners that would leave loaded guns on the playground, especially knowing that it's against the law to take firearms on the school grounds. There's no better way for the anti-gun gang to push for more gun control. This is the perfect setup.

The only other reason I can think of would be to dump a gun that had been used in a crime. Even then, a school would be one of the last places that I'd think would be considered. A nearby creek or river would be much more likely to be used for that.
