How did the 6-year-old child who shot a Virginia teacher get access to a loaded firearm?

“There’s a lot of questions that we have to answer as a community,” Newport News Mayor Phillip Jones told CNN, including “how a 6-year-old was able to have a gun know how to use it in such a deliberate manner … The individuals responsible will be held accountable. I can promise that.

” “The problem with many child access prevention laws is that there isn’t enough clear guidance on how guns should be stored in a way that is safe and secure,” she added. Twenty-three states and Washington, DC, have laws in place regarding firearm storage, while eight states have laws mandating owners secure their firearms, according to research by Everytown.

Any you look at it, mom's to blame.

Why are you asking me this shit go find out yourselfs

How did the people that teach our children not stop this tragedy despite prewarning, backpack inspection, and metal detectors

Without too much difficulty, I'd imagine. Is there a minimum age for owning a firearm in Virginia?

Most things with children point to bad parenting...some people should not have children...

I’d like to know if the gun was purchased and registered by the African American parents?

Of course we still don’t have any news on who the parent is… 🤔

4 Idaho students were stabbed to death are you going to ban knives?

How did the IRS get all of their guns and ammo when Biden wants to rid the public of owning theirs? Sounds like communisim to me

Every school should have metal detectors and bag checks.

I have an anonymous source who is closer to this investigation who admits CNN gave the child the loaded gun.

Those parents should be held accountable.

mom and pop

I’m glad the teacher is in stable condition 🙏

Also, why did the administration not place the school on lock-down when they were made aware of a student being in possession of a firearm prior to the shooting?

If I had to guess from a family like one of these..

Is anyone else noticing a mass increase in children shooting teachers in correlation of the timeline of when teachers started indoctrinating children and thinking they are the children's parents and they know best over the parents themselves? Just saying didn't happen in my day

The parents must face charges. Clearly they didn’t keep this device in a lock box or out of reach of said child. Folks you are legally responsible for your offspring under age 18. Target the parents, change the culture.

No need to explain.. The IRGC is a terrorist organization. IRGCterrorists IranRevoIution

The parents should be arrested

If he took a steak knife from the kitchen drawer and stabbed the teacher instead, would it get the same attention from you CNN?

And they needed a study to find this out Well well who’d have thought it? 😡😡

They watch action movies everyday and are trying to play the roles they see

Gun violence in America.

The article does not answer the question or even come close. It's just a long review of gun safety issues.

Storage laws? It's storage laws? *(sigh of relief by nra PR teams)
