    When a process happens again and again then it is not a malfunction, it is a norm.

      The purpose of a system is what it does.

      The system isn’t broke and in need of fixing. It’s working exactly as planned and needs to be destroyed.

      All the laws in the world are useless if they’re not enfoeced. We saw it in the Maine shooting, we’re seeing it here now, we see it even in the presidential election.

        Wadsworth: [shouting] That’s what we’re trying to find out! We’re trying to find out who killed him, and where, and with what!

        Wadsworth: [shouting louder] I’m not shouting!
        [Guests stare at him pointedly]

          Wadsworth: Professor Plum, you were once a professor of psychiatry specializing in homicidal lunatics suffering from delusions of grandeur.

          Professor Plum: Yes, but now I work for the government.

          Wadsworth: So your work hasn’t changed.

    What we really need to know is how/where did he get the gun.

    At 14, he’s not legal age for either a pistol or a rifle.

    Edit Dad admits to buying it for him as a Christmas present 7 months after the FBI investigation.

      There are often exceptions to this for rifles if the underage person is using the weapon for hunting or other sport.

        https://www.tallahassee.com/story/news/2024/09/05/georgia-school-shooting-parent-liable-gun-laws/75083441007/

        “Minors are permitted to possess pistols or revolvers under certain specified and monitored activities and there are provisions against a parent or legal guardian allowing a minor to possess a pistol or revolver if the adult “is aware of a substantial risk that such minor will use a pistol or revolver to commit a felony offense” or if the minor has been convicted of a violent felony or misdemeanor. Violation can mean a felony conviction, a fine of up to $5,000 and 3-5 years in prison.”

        I would say, having an FBI investigation into a school shooting threat last year would constitute “substantial risk”.

        But that’s also assuming it was an AR pistol and not an AR rifle. So far they’re just saying “AR platform” which could mean anything.

          I hate how news agencies do that shit. People who don’t know anything about guns see that and see “big scary automatic military rifle with 1 gajillion round magazine”. Where in reality a ton of guns from tiny handguns to .50 beowulf big game rifles use the “AR platform” just because it’s an old enough design to be public domain. Saying it’s an AR platform gun tells us exactly nothing.

            Yup, and since he snuck it into a school, most likely an AR pistol…

            That his dad bought for him 7 months after he threatened to shoot up a school. 😳

              Most likely.

              Also how the hell does he wind up still going to that school after he already threatened to shoot the place up? At least when I was going to school anything even close to that would get you kicked out and put in the special troubled kid school.

                I don’t think it was the same school… they had family trouble, moved a bunch, got evicted.

    Dad is fucked now, bought the gun as a gift for the little psycho 7 months after the FBI investigated him for the school shooting threat.

    I’m so glad we’re finally going after parents of shooters. Maybe this will finally start having an effect after enough of them lose their freedom.
