Virginia Sixth Grader Charged with Gun Crime

SF Gate reports

A Washington County sixth-grader accused of bringing an unloaded gun to school has been ordered to participate in a detention alternatives program.

Media outlets report that the boy has been suspended from Damascus Middle School. He was assigned to a home electronic monitoring system during a hearing Tuesday in Washington County Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court.

School and court authorities say the boy is accused of bringing an unloaded .22-caliber pistol, a knife and several rounds of ammunition to the school Monday morning. He didn't make any threats to anyone at the school.

Another student saw the ammunition and told a teacher.
In gun-friendly Virginia, they don't even care whose gun it is. 12-year-olds stand alone when it comes to gun crime. It doesn't matter if dad or older brother left the gun around.

What's your opinion?  When a juvenile is caught with a gun, shouldn't the most likely source be investigated?
