Exactly! The school did have the disadvantage of NOT knowing the parents had just purchased a weapon for their son. Nor did the school know the dynamics between parents and son.
The parents knew ALL of this and did nothing. BTW, Ms. Prosecutor, NO new gun laws will fix that kind of stupid.
Well, the school maybe had a disadvantage. BUT, true story here, my son was in 5th grade and a boy on his basketball team brought a water pistol to school and was squirting the kids on the playground. Everyone was laughing and having fun about it. What did the school do? The EXPELLED him. Yup, for a water gun. He couldn’t understand why and I tried to explain as his single mom who was pretty much absent all the time never did. What a sad comparison. What this 15 yr. old did was way scarier than producing a stinking water pistol.
