Thx deport;)
I was waiting for more info to transcribe and the screen went blank.
Nah, Amish home school class.
1. Said 'gun' was a piece of crap that
2. Was not bought at a gun store, and
3. Purchaser couldn't have passed a background check if he did, and
4. Kid was not taught how to properly handle a gun, and
5. Kid comes from a home where parents are absent.
Those are sure bets.
Put the freakin guns owner in jail for at least a year! Who allows a six year old access to a loaded gun?
Gangs, thugs in home most likely...............
Brevity vs. levity;)
(I coulda made stuff up)
Well, the momma thought the sho-and-tell idea was a good one at the time.......
“HISD police confirm a kindergarten student brought a loaded gun to school and it accidentally went off when it fell from his pocket in the cafeteria.”
Must have lively “show-and-tell” sessions at that school.
No firing pin block?
Exemplary parent(s) no doubt. /S
The gun-control crowd will jump all over this one.
