        Yeah but guns are the problem. When are people going to start blaming the tool in this event? ‘If the knife hadn’t been so sharp less people would get hurt’. It’s not the tool or machine that’s the problem. Increase school security and focus of students mental health.

        Sometimes all you can say is wow - I fell for the kids that were injured and feel for the 8 yr old. All have a very long road ahead of them.

        Did he have a permit to carry? This is a tragedy. The blame needs to be laid solely at the feet of the child who is guilty of this crime. This is not about knives or guns, it is about mental health, lack of discipline and lack of respect.

        Chuck and Nancy are working up legislation requiring all knives to be under lock and key to prevent further assaults by eight year olds, teachers also to have “bat” training. Sorry, this incident is just crazy...

        For all you jackasses that are correlating this to guns did you even READ the article? When was the last time three people were attacked with a gun and “two needed stitches”. You’re making a false equivalency and it’s embarrassing—for you.
