A sixth-grade Utah boy was in police custody late Monday after bringing a handgun to school, reportedly so that he could defend himself in the event of an attack, Granite School District officials said.
"He has alluded in his defense that he brought it as a way to defend himself and his friends if there was a Connecticut-style incident at the school," district spokesman Ben Horsley said.
I don't think he's a "nut job". I think he's an 11-year old child who is very scared.
I tell ya, all of these nut jobs are coming out of the woodwork.
His parents should do some time for this if the gun was found to come from the home.
Ohh, and this doesnt surprise me coming from "UTAH".

ohhh, i like to pass on stereotypes just like how people like to pass on stereotypes for those that live in Ca. What's that saying? ohh yeah, an eye for an eye...
He neatly illustrates the falsehood that possessing a gun makes you and your friends safer. He can't be blamed for thinking that, it's the prevailing meme. The gun's owner should be charged with child endangerment or whatever.
His father and/or mother should be thrown in jail. There is absolutely no freakin' WAY!!! a kid his age should have access to a gun. What's the matter with gun owners?? WTH are they thinking???

"He pulled out a gun and he put it to my head, me and my friend," Isabelle said. "He was going to kill us."
Ashlee Gordon is taking her 7-year-old son home.
"He's my only kid, my only kid, and it's heartbreaking to think he might not come home," she said. "I don't want to have to be at work and worry about my child not coming home before Christmas."

An eye for an eye makes everyone blind.
Which is unconfirmed.
Let's not be too quick to indict all gun owners because these parents were lax. And we don't know the rest of the story yet. I agree, a kid his age shouldn't have access to a gun without meaningful supervision.
11 years old is certainly old enough to be familiar, and possibly quite proficient, with a .22 pistol or revolver. I get the impression from the article that the kid didn't consult with his parents on his decision and that isn't good but charging the parents with child endangerment based on nothing other than the fact that the kid had a gun in school is ridiculous.
It was a bad decision on the kids part but the logic of it is fine and dandy.
His father and/or mother should be thrown in jail. There is absolutely no freakin' WAY!!! a kid his age should have access to a gun. What's the matter with gun owners?? WTH are they thinking???
Oh, Jesus Christ. I'm making the assumption he got this gun from home. If a gun is available to a sixth-grader, the gun owner ought to be in jail. What the **** is wrong with people??
His logic stunk.

I'm not indicting all gun owners. I'm a gun owner. But I sure as **** know better than to leave it around where a sixth-grader can get his hands on it. I don't have any kids. Don't have many kid visitors. But even when I have strangers in my house (repair people and the like), my gun is out of their reach even if they're LOOKING for it. Really. How stupid can people be?
Kid takes his mothers guns and shoots 26 people. Other families with guns and youngsters in the house don't change a thing in their house. Unbelievable.
What's the matter with gun owners??
