Student Fires Gun in Missouri Middle School, No Injuries Reported

JOPLIN, Mo. � A 13-year-old student wearing a dark green trenchcoat and carrying an assault rifle fired one shot in a middle school Monday morning and told two administrators, "please don't make me do this," officials said.

Three incidents, actually. But yeah, I predict a lot more reporting on these sorts of incidents.

He had an AK-47. How can anyone argue for the free trade of guns in their country when it means 13 year olds can get hold of AK-47s?!

How the hell can a 13 year old get a AK-47?! This is mad! And the parents didn't notice anything!

Apparently, there are so many AKs on this planet that there's one for every 3 people.
I find that disgusting.

I'm not sure if it's a true statistic, but my brother told me it. And you think about all the tribes nowadays that used to fight with spears and now use AKs...

Yip... Guns aren't the solution to problems that are hard to solve, you don't see Kofi Annan running with a gun to the soda machine cause it wont work.

Just a little side note: I heard on the news that it wasn't really an AK-47, but it was a similar looking assault rifle. Can't remember the name of it. I was a bit confused when I heard about an AK-47 actually jamming anyway

Are assault weapons banned in the US?

I thought so, but I guess that might be only in some states...
I support the ban.

As anyone should. I think Automatic Assault weapons are federally banned, but semiauto are state regulated.

Well, I've got 2, so I guess 5 other people don't.
