I know I don’t often comment on things like this, but when I heard about this news on the bulletin earlier, I let out a cry of absolute incredulity and astonishment. ” A six-year-old boy has been detained by police after shooting a teacher in the US state of Virginia, officers say….It is unclear how the child obtained the gun, but [local police chief Steve] Drew said the incident was not “an accidental shooting”.” I would defy anyone to hear that and not be utterly bewildered: How perverse does a country need to get were guns are so readily available that a six year old can get hold of one, let alone then shoot his teacher with it? How many tragedies like this have to happen before America wakes up and gets a grip of it’s gun laws?
