Florida fifth grader arrested after threatening a mass shooting, police say
NBCAPR 2022
Gun violence and culture in America is completely out of control and innocent victims are suffering the consequences. The Uvalde tragedy could easily have been avoided with better gun control. Yes, the 10-year-old should be punished for making threats but, ultimately, arresting children for text messages won't solve the mess made by lawmakers.
The truth on gun control is that if the government takes firearms away from citizens, only criminals will have them. We don't need a totalitarian solution - instead, police need to act swiftly and strongly to respond, especially in today's climate of mass violence, and threats to schools.
