Boy Arrested after Bringing Gun, 400 Rounds of Ammo to School
An 11-year-old boy in Washington state was arrested last week after police say he brought a handgun and more than 400 rounds of ammunition to school. The event followed the killings of teachers Nevada and Massachusetts on the two previous days.
■Class discussion: How hard or easy is it to get a gun and ammunition? Should a gun owner who fails to lock up a weapon used in a crime be charged in the crime? Why do proposed gun laws fail even when most people want them? Do you think Congress will ever pass tougher gun controls?
