Not blaming the teachers. Blaming the politicians that won't let the teachers keep order with any kind of durable control.
Knives won't hurt that bad ? Yah.. tell that to one of my college roomate's girlfriends, who was partially paralyzed after an attempted rapist slashed her jugular with a knife. Well.. .at least he didn't use a gun ! That would have been BAD !
Good grief.
Get off the guns are the problem horse. It's not a horse, it's a lame mule. The problem is VIOLENCE.
We are talking about third grade here. There is no reason to think this teacher didn't have "control" over this class. This crime happened suddenly and without warning. That's where the gun comes in, you get no warning, and no chance to intervene.
What else could a nine year old do in a supervised classroom to cause that much injury? Set off a bomb? Hand grenade? Let's stay on topic. You're going way, way, off course here. A knife attack could be interrupted very quickly by the teacher and other students.
This specific crime happened because of a gun. Period.
