You don't have children obviously. At 6, a child has no clue what they are doing when it comes to the consequences of this type of thing. Even if premeditated, his thought was “I don't like my teacher. She is mean. She is a bad guy. I'll make her go away.” Just like a movie.zero perspective of consequence of life vs death.

Blame the parents for not teaching their child guns are not something they can ever touch, for not having a gun safe ( love my fingerprint safe. No extra time to access and no ability for kids to get into it), for not even noticing a six year Old's back pack had that extra weight. I mean I hand my kids their backpacks every morning as they head out the door.

I feel terrible for the teacher, the students who witnessed this, the families whose lives are forever changed. I also feel TERRIBLE for this CHILD. He will forever live with seeing the consequence he didn't understand. He will forever live with the guilt. And even if he is a psychopath who never values human life, he is young enough and malleable and could be redirected (again not something a 6 year old fully comprehends or would even consider when using a firearm)

Put a 6 year old in prison, much less adult prison, you all but guarantee he ends up a hardened criminal

Think it through man!
