I hope it goes away altogether now. True idiocy on display.
Police arrested Trey Foster this morning. He is the friend of Berry, one of the men shot in the altercation. It now appears that Berry and Foster were walking on campus when Jody Neal brushed Foster. The two exchanged words and then the 3 men later crossed paths again, whereupon Foster started blasting away - shooting not only Neal, but also incidentally shooting Berry (who police originally thought shot himself when pulling the gun from his back pocket) and the maintenance man. No word whether charges against Berry will be dropped. The gun that Foster used has been recovered. Foster has a criminal record and is prohibited from owning a gun.

Senator Chapelle-Nadal looks like someone jumping on the bandwagon and trying to make a name for herself. If somehow this legislation passes, it will be more sheer idiocy on display. It's not the school district's business as to what parents legally own in their homes (guns or otherwise) and the fact that she is pushing to turn schools essentially into branches of law enforcement should be concerning to everyone (including those in law enforcement).
“It encourages parents to make sure they store their guns safely in their home, it also gives the school districts the opportunity to help encourage gun safety in the community and in the household.”
Chappelle-Nadal says that she “believes in the 2nd amendment” but hopes this will bring awareness to the need to “lock up guns.”
This registration would be available to the police, of course, to “help them solve crimes.”
I think that here reasoning sounds ridiculous; if these are truly her motivations, she should volunteer with a community watch program in her off time. I really hope that this invasive piece of crap bill gets killed quickly.
