12yo in Bend brings loaded handgun to school, with a list of targets and a plan of attack.
Arrested on charges of attempted murder and a host of other crimes.
Dad is cited for improper storage of a firearm, with max punishment a fine of $2000.
There would be harsher punishments for dad, but a bill passed in 2022 to (among other things) mandate stricter storage requirements, is stuck in legal limbo after a judge in the state’s least populated county declared it unconstitutional.
I never thought once about gun violence when our kids were in school. I can’t imagine the angst parents feel today.
‘Murca fuk ya
I heard about this guys story this week.
He will be out in another 3 years. He stole 80 rifles in Iraq mostly machine guns, a bunch of pistols, ammo and C4.
He sold them to under cover agents posing as cartel members.
Sentencing is way too light. He should have gotten life.

A Navy SEAL in California and men in Nevada and Colorado have been arrested and accused of smuggling machine guns from Iraq into the United States for resale on the black market, federal authorities said Thursday.
The special forces SEAL, Nicholas Bickle, 33, of San Diego, Las Vegas resident Andrew Kaufman, 36, and Richard Paul, 34, of Durango, Colo., were arrested Wednesday in those cities, the U.S. attorney's office in Las Vegas said.
A complaint filed Oct. 29 and unsealed Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Las Vegas accuses the trio of conspiring to smuggle and sell 18 weapons and 14 other firearms since June to an undercover federal Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives agent in Las Vegas and Colorado.
Bickle is accused of smuggling about 80 AK-47 weapons from Iraq or Afghanistan, including factory-made 7.62 mm Iraqi machine guns that the complaint said would be difficult or impossible to trace. Other weapons included Ruger handguns.
"According to the other members of the organization, this was possible because Navy SEALs are not searched when returning from deployments," the document said.
Bickle began SEALs training in August 2005 and did two tours in Iraq, said Lt. Cate Wallace, a Navy spokeswoman. He is currently assigned to a SEALs team on the West Coast.
"This type of behavior is not reflective of the character within the Navy SEALs community," Wallace said.
The investigation began on tip from a confidential informant who faced felony battery domestic violence and robbery charges in Nevada and is cooperating with authorities, the complaint said. Neither the informant nor the undercover agent is identified.
Las Vegas-based ATF Special Agent Eric Fox alleges in the complaint that at least one of the accused coconspirators bragged that the guns were from the military in the Middle East and would be untraceable.
The complaint cited text message and bank records, and said at least one sale involved 10 AK-47 rifles for $1,300 each, and six handguns at $300 apiece.
The conspiracy charge alleges that Bickle, Kaufman and Paul engaged in firearms dealing without paying a special tax, possessed a machine gun that wasn't registered in the National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record, and transferred an unregistered machine gun.
If convicted, each faces up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
A statement from Daniel Bogden, U.S. attorney in Las Vegas, said Bickle was due to appear Thursday in federal court in San Diego.
Paul appeared Wednesday in federal court in Durango, and was ordered held pending another hearing Thursday, Bogden said.
Kaufman was due Thursday before a federal magistrate judge in Las Vega
It’s amazing how little money it takes for some folks to be corrupted.

What gets me is, the machine gun guy steals 80 guns, c4 and a bunch of pistols, sells a more than a doze to a "cartel" and gets three years less than this guy who stole fewer cars.
What does that say about America?

Be a discreet douche instead of a blatant one.
Comparing Deaths from Gun Violence in the U.S. with Other Countries
Highlights
Globally, the U.S. ranks at the 93rd percentile for overall firearm mortality, 92nd percentile for children and teens, and 96th percentile for women.
The U.S. has among the highest overall firearm mortality rates, as well as among the highest firearm mortality rates for children, adolescents, and women, both globally and among high-income countries.
Nearly all U.S. states have a higher firearm mortality rate than most other countries. Death rates due to physical violence by firearm in U.S. states are closer to rates seen in countries experiencing active conflict.
Only 12 countries have a rate of self-harm by firearm as high as that of the U.S.
it’s not about being dangerous, it’s about making a point. and getting attention! and exercising muh freedom! and also maybe a little bit of a vigilante fantasy. and rabble rabble you can take my gun out of my cold hands right meowQuote:

"Abundant Life School." Ouch.
Nothing can or will be done. More innocent people will die. This is America.

If only one kid out of the abundance was killed by an adult shooter, the story would barely go beyond the local news.
The child-to-CEO exchange rate is way too high.
Yep.Quote:

Maybe the kids can get a special hotline. Reportedly there has been 83 school shootings in the US in 2024.
A 2nd grader called police during the last one, we don't want to waste any more public funds on safety. Let the parents provide the phones. (cynical response)Quote:
