Officials respond to weapons comment made at Page County School Board meeting

The Page County School Board met Thursday night to vote in favor of Governor Glenn Youngkin’s executive order, making masks a choice for students.

During the citizen comment period, commenter Amelia King said “No mask mandates. My child, my children will not come to school on Monday with a mask on. Alright? That’s not happening. And I will bring every single gun loaded and ready.”

The school board cut her off for exceeding her three minutes, and she responded with “I’ll see you all on Monday.”

King later sent an apology to the school board that was read aloud at the end of Thursday night’s meeting.

Her up. Threatening elected officials guns, it’s got to be some kind of crime. Particularly when children are involved. Jesus

Should be appalled at such threats. Key word is responsible. There is no such thing as a unloaded gun. Unless you intend to use it keep it on the hip.
School kids by definition should be kept safe from violence especially from adults who should know better.

I get the whole anti mask vax bs. This woman is clearly deranged if she thinks threatening school shootings is making her point reasonable.

People like her make gun owners like me look bad. No wonder the general population opposes gun rights.
