6 yr old Kindergarten student brings loaded gun to school...

3 children hurt in Texas elementary school.
I can barely begin to think about this!  4, 5, and 6 year olds sitting down for lunch at their school and suddenly gunfire erupts when a six year old drops a loaded gun out of his pocket!  I don't think I could send my child back to school after that.  My son is still in elementary school, and I try hard not to think about the chances of something devastating happening in our rural schools.  I try to console myself with the thought that we are in the country, so the risks of kids getting hold of a hand gun are considerably reduced.  However, the large majority of our community are either hunters, or know hunters, so there goes my thought process.  I think I should really learn to enjoy soap operas ( Oh they're cancelling those aren't they) or get large print books to read with someone nice to read them to me, or just watch The Waltons, and Road to Avonlea, shutting out the horribly exhausting reality that our world is going to rack and ruin.
I'm going back to bed now!!!
