How can this happen? I thought guns were not allowed in school. This kid broke the rules. I can't believe that the GFSZ law didn't keep him from bringing a gun into the school. Isn't that what it is supposed to do? Didn't he read the sign? Didn't he know it was illegal? Our kids are safe because of the GFSZ law. At least that's the line we keep hearing.

I explained the GFSZ law this morning as I was driving my grade schoolers to school. Even they thought it was stupid. At least this time, the only person shot was the bad guy.

I understand that reportologists do not have any idea of how to construct a meaningful declarative sentence, but
Brownsville police Detective J.J. Trevino says police received a call around 8 a.m. Wednesday that there was an individual with a weapon at Cummings Middle School. Police found the student with a handgun in a hallway and shot him
certainly paints a picture they may not have wanted to paint.

And it does make me feel better that your gradeschoolers understand how stupid the GFSZ law is for keeping someone with a gun and mens rea to commit a crime from doing so at a school.

stay safe.
