No...well probably....but it's certainly a sign that we will see more parents being held accountable for their kids shooting up schools. If parents see that they will go to prison if their kid goes on a mass shooting at school, hopefully we will see more parents being alot more careful about locking away guns at home where there kids can't get to them, and in turn less school shootings will occur.
Not a crazy kid. I mean yeah he was nuts, but that’s a separate issue only tied to the parents through their potential contribution to his mental state. But the parent’s behavior the day of, is a separate issue in my opinion. Adults with that type of sense, or lack of, raising children? Yeah its very likely the parents contributed to the kids mental condition…
what if the children’s issues are the fault of the parents though? don't get me wrong. Im not yet, lol, for any type of childbirthing license for parents or anything but, what do we do when idiots are popping out psychos?
I'm sure some of what caused him to shoot up his school started at home. Living in a dysfunctional home likely played a part. We know his dad and birth mom divorced and live over a 1000 miles apart. That can't be easy on a kid alone. Well, kids aren't or at least probably aren't born psychos. They become psychos. Puppies are not born killers. They are mistreated and are trained that way. Though you have your misnomers like Ted Bundy who seemingly had very loving church going parents. If you have parents who are dysfunctional or abusive you take the children away to put them somewhere safe with a family who can care for them. We are also seeing more of educating parents. Parent support groups. A lot of people were never given a an example of a loving parent and do not know how to be one. There is support for that.
Yet ironically the states with the highest percentage of gun ownership are also some of the safest. But yes let's punish tens of millions of responsible gun owners for the transgressions of a handful of whack jobs.
Parents turn out in force and threaten school boards over masks and teaching history that makes white people uncomfortable. Guns? Freedumb!!!!!
I share your anger. The parents in the case being held accountable will set a strong precedent. This is exactly what is needed. (well a lot more than that is needed, but this is a good start). When parents start getting held responsible for their kids using their guns to shoot people, it will lead to more proactive parents who dont want to go to prison, and therefore less of these school shootings. What gets me is, when you start to try and have this confirmation about guns, people point their fingers elsewhere, begin the what aboutisms instead of just sticking with what is being put out there. Guns are deadly. We need change or more kids will be shit at school and the like. It seems people care more about being able to own a piece of metal than they do about the lives of children. It sickens me.
Owning guns is a right. But, it comes with responsibility. When you decide to shirk that responsibility, you lose the right.
We need to crack down HARD on illegal gun ownership. Mandatory jail time for possession of an illegal handgun. As far as legal gun ownership, you should have to pass something akin to a credit check, but more intense, including mental screening. Anyone on psychotropic drugs should automatically be banned from gun ownership.
Who are you speaking to exactly? Me, a responsible gun owner, is responsible for this deranged kid's actions?
There are more guns in America than there are people. If someone wants to get rid of them all then good luck with that.
No. I'm talking like 5 years in prison for mere possession of an illegal weapon. Keep these people out of society, it will do wonders. Yeah, prison is expensive, but so is having worthless POS members of society walking around.
I'm speaking to everyone. No, his parents who bought the gun and allowed him to be to access and use it are responsible. He is responsible. Anyone who is irresponsible with a gun that they own and it ends up being used to shoot people unlawfully, are responsible. You are a responsible gun owner. That's great. Not trying to take your guns or anyone else's who are responsible. Relax. There needs to be accountability. That is all.
We aren't far off. I was thinking 2. 5 isn't out of the realm though. Gotta be more than a slap on the hand.
Guns should all be RFID'd and should match to a federal ID. If they don't match, then that's a violation. Set up check points and sweeps in areas with high number of gun deaths.
