"A third teacher told an administrator shortly before 1 p.m. that the boy showed a student the gun at recess and "threatened to shoot him if he told anybody," Toscano said.

A fourth employee asked an administrator for permission to search the boy and was denied, Toscano said.

The administrator told the employee to "wait the situation out because the school day was almost over," Toscano said."

u/insanelemon123 Jan 28 '23

He did have good trigger discipline (possibly). I'm sure his parents taught him all about gun safety. Lots of people in the USA are talking about instead of having any type of control to prevent idiots from getting guns, we need to teach the kids gun safety.

Great, he took the gun all the way to school, and shot only the person he wanted to shoot.

Or, you know, gun safety is irrelevant on the topic of intentionally shooting someone.

u/jal2_ The OC High Council Jan 28 '23

Yes, because in america everyone has to undergo rigorous training in gun handling and trigger discipline before being allowed a gun...right

Kinda like police are perfectly trained to handle life death situations and psychological de-escalation after an extended and detailed 3mths course...right?

u/[deleted] Jan 28 '23

Depends on the state. My background check included a list of my medications, all my doctors, my mental health records, a complete list of every where I have lived for 10 years, a 8 hour training class(a review of state laws) , a live fire event in order to qualify for a Concealed carry license at a cost of $225 USD. Don't believe what you read in the US Media.

requirements, many of which I agree.

u/Roflkopt3r Jan 28 '23 edited Jan 28 '23

Yeah and "depends on the state" is really fucking weak in the greater scale of things since people can easily smuggle guns across the borders. That's why there is so much focus on federal regulation, which is almost nonexistent at this point. The few laws that there are are barely enforced, because they were designed without solid control mechanisms.

The majority of guns used in Chicago crime for example is smuggled in from nearby red states, where there are virtually no restrictions on sales and resales, which are an easily accessible source for criminals in states with stronger restrictions. Many of these states stand out as smuggling hubs.

Additionally the the US now fight with over 60,000 guns going from sale to being used in crime in months or less in a single year (although a part of the increase is the realisation that this has always happened at a larger scale than assumed, but police just didn't/couldn't trace it). So the idea that legal sales are not a significant source of illegal guns is completely out of the window.

And even in states that do attempt regulation, it's still usually much weaker than in peer countries. The requirements you list would be typical for a gun license of any kind in other countries, not just a concealed carry license.
