Gun Found In 7-Year-Old’s Backpack At Wave Preparatory Elementary School In Queens.

What was this kid thinking? Where did he get this gun? These are the questions people should be asking after a .22 caliber handgun was found inside a 7 year old’s backpack at Wave Preparatory Elementary School in Rockaway on Thursday. No individuals were harmed and the gun was taken by one of the school’s safety officers. The school was in lock down as well. The event happens after a much fuel debate continues over gun restriction and tighter laws following the Sandy Hook shooting. On Tuesday, New York state was the first to pass gun control measures in the wake of the tragedy. The NRA said the passage of such measures prevented their lobby from thwarting the efforts, while President Obama unveiled his gun control proposal on Wednesday.
