good gawd this is an ignorant statement.
on a side note, the school this happened at is where both of my kids went to junior high, my daughter was there just last year... this hit a little too close to home.
I'm in the opinion that the way the media handles these situations sets it up for people to 'copy' what they see on tv... especially when the media present stories like this in such a mundane, everyday normal manner.
the fact that guns are legal in the US (with very strict rules here in california, as a matter of fact) has zero to do with this kid getting the gun. like someone said earlier, he didn't get it legally, that's for sure.
edited to answer the original question... I feel the kid should be tried for murder, and as an adult... point blank in the head from behind... seriously, it was clearly his intent to kill.
