The price we must pay

Did you know that a 16 year old student recently brought a loaded gun with him to school in St. Petersburg Florida? Did you also know that the school was Gibbs High school? Did you also know that parents are understandably concerned about this new turn of events? Can you see any reason why this teenager should not be facing felony charges for his actions? Can you also see any reason why he would have brought a loaded gun to a learning facility in the first place? Do you feel that this is a trend that is beginning and could only end badly for innocent students? Do you feel that because this is the second time this year, something should already have been done about it?

Are you like so many other parents and family members who feel that guns in school are unacceptable? Do you believe that gun control would have avoided this scenario? Do you also believe that our right to bear arms has nothing to do with an irresponsible decision by a teenager? When you were in school, were you ever caught smoking marijuana? Do you agree that drugs may have had a part to play in this teenager's decision to bring a firearm to school? Do you also agree that we need to bring religion back to our schools and maybe these kind of situations may change? Have you ever been to a juvenile facility in your life? Do you think that a teenager found with a loaded gun in school should be sent to one of these facilities? Do you also think that these facilities will do anything to make these offenders make sense of what they did? Are you in la la land?
