For those not familiar with this area in Houston it is not a nice area.

Update from KTRH Radio (Facebook post)
Reports from the scene – A gun fell out of the pocket of a 5 year-olds pocket and fired in the cafeteria grazing three students. None of the kindergartener’s injuries are life-threatening. Details as they become available on KTRH and KTRH.co

"gun fell out of the pocket"



All cities, or the Federal Govt should have a government funded program (like the "buyback") to trade all guns which don't have a drop safety for a new Glock and we won't have situations like this or the one in the Houston restaurant any more.
They should file a bill and pass it on a National level


Wait ... why are all the defective gun drops occurring in Houston ...

Fox is reporting it was a 6yr old, and that it fell out of a backpack.

is there a gun law that would have prevented this? (other than the 100% removal of ALL guns?)

Preventing Guns which fire when dropped ... I mean really old Davis or Jennings guns may not have drop safety, but I think most "modern" guns do because someone got sued long long ago. A gun "going off" when dropped is really really rare, that's why Houston is surprising lately.

A gun law disallowing a 6-year old from getting a gun from his older brother's backpack which a homie gave him or whatever allowed access or laws setting areas aside as "gun free" are useless... and 100% removal of ALL guns.... is an impossibility anyway

Which was my point, so no idea what Woods is trying to do with any tweeting

Because they're vultures who celebrate any injury or deaths in order to further their gun banning agenda?

I figured the word vulture covered the shameless part. Have you ever seen one of those buggers eat? :eek6

I'll be interested to hear what type of gun it was that it was able to "fire when dropped". Also pretty amazing at the carelessness of whoever allowed a 6 year old access to the weapon. Secure your stuff! :tiphat:
