The government on the other hand has known the last 9 of the 7 mass shootings.
It's ideal to store your guns in a gun safe, but I don't think it's required by law. I don't know how the father could really be guilty of anything.
I've long suspected that the government stages the school shootings, and all these clues just amplify my suspicion.
Back to daddy... He bought his son the gun he used for Christmas of
2023. His son was too young to own one... Father could have bought it
and only let his have unsupervised use of it when he was of age.
I've long suspected that the government stages the school shootings, all these clues just amplify my suspicion.
It is an election year... expect more shootings. And expect that these shooters were known by the government.
It's too easy to armchair quarterback these things.social contract?
Having a kid get bullied at school does things. You want your kid to be able to stand up against those that are putting him down. You also have
a reponsibility to facilitate that in a manner that complies with the social contract.
It's a tough thing to deal with. Like you said, there were a lot of failures here.
As far as the gun issue... I'm tired of beating this stick with a dead horse. Not touching it.
It seems like the dad made a bad mistake, but remember, it's the media feeding all these details to us. Who knows which parts are true or false?
And we should expect the FBI to be vigilant, but how can we?

The facts aren't complete out... Father is being charged with second degree murder, among other things. Apparently the guns were accessible to the boy even after he made threats to the school a year ago.
This shooter was known to the feds a year ago. The school knew and the father
knew.
I think the FBI should have put the father on notice and told him that he woul
be found criminally liable for he let his son have access, unsupervised anyway
to his guns.
The father should have locked things up so that his son couldn't do what he did.
Culpability... Apparently the kid was bullied at school... Did the principal have any culpability... maybe?? If not criminally at least financially becaus
he allowed it to happen. What about the FBI... They knew of the situation and
didn't force some kind of intervention.
The father if he had bought him a gun he should not had let the gun be accessible to the child until he was of age.
It seems like the dad made a bad mistake, but remember, it's the media feeding

Social contract... You're starting to sound like Alan. I say, as a parent, don't ignore you child being bullied until he snaps a gear and takes a gun to school.[...]
As for the father... it was the dumbest thing anyone could have done... If you bought him a gun to hunt with... hunt with it and lock it up.
My worry is this... a lot of times you wonder how we got where we got to... and the answer is simple... The left loves to make slight changes over time so that they get what they want... it may have took 30-40-50 years... But it was done in baby steps.
Last couple shooting they found the parents guilty of something...
There are major red flags the father ignored... I'll give you that. I just think the Democrats are playing the long game here where they hold gun manufacturers liable...
Had the FBI visited me a year prior telling me that my daughter was
making online threats to the school... I'd revisit my thoughts on this...
And we should expect the FBI to be vigilant, but how can we?
I just think we need to look into the culpability of Government officials... School and FBI here. The principal ignored this young man
It seems like the dad made a bad mistake, but remember, it's the media feeding

Some of what they've fed us has been straight out of the kid's and the father's mouths.

how and where the School and FBI failed.

What in the unholy fried chicken are you talking about?
That's certainly part of the problem. I had the exact same reaction. But the father had an obligation there, too. All the parents in these situations do. Again, these are complex dynamics.
By your words, the parent is at fault for ignoring their child, and the school
and FBI are at fault for failing the child.
See, some people just like to be contrarian for the sake of being contrarian.
So friggin' what? I have the Constitution hanging on my living room wall too, bro. You don't own patriotism. This isn't about the Bill of Rights. This is about responsibility.
In this case, the FBI actually did act by telling local authorities, who then took the kid's word that "I don't have a Discord account so I couldn't have been making terroristic threats" over the word of the FBI and the evidence they had.
Supposedly the father told authorities that if he thought his kid had
done those things he'd get rid of all his guns. Between the "talk" with authorities and the shooting, the dad instead apparently bought the kid
a gun which was used in the shooting.
That is something that bothers me. In one county in Kentucky, "encounters" with kids at school with weapons went up drastically in
2021 vs. 2019 (the last year before the COVID schoolyear). As nearly
all the kids in the district are under age, where are they getting these weapoms from?
I cannot remember if the district in question includes Louisville or Lexington, but it was not a rural district where some kids might have a hunting rifle in the cab of their pickup. It is a case where the kids
are caught with knives and guns inside the school building, sometimes
even getting them past the metal detectors.
So where are their parents?
That's entertaining and all, but what's the point?
I have no idea who Alan is, and I don't understand the "starting to
sound like" bit when this was my first post in the echo.

But you proved that point by contradicting yourself in back to back sentences.
By your words, the parent is at fault for ignoring their child, and the school and FBI are at fault for failing the child.
I'm saying it's a combination of all the above, and for some reason, you want to disagree with me for making a statement that aligns with your position?
So friggin' what? I have the Constitution hanging on my living room wall too, bro. You don't own patriotism. This isn't about the Bill of Rights. This is about responsibility.
But then they wouldn't have an operative for their anti-gun narrative.
Look up "Voices from the Hellmouth". This was a series of posts from Slashdot about the Littleton, CO, shooting back in 1999.
Lots of kids voicing the toxic environment that was actually fostered by the school.
But I'm not going to hold my breath for someone to take responsibility
for the GA shooting. The Elitists are masters at diversion and blaming others for their failures. And it doesn't help when they've corrupted
the judicial system too.

He does indeed, especially in this case. If he'd not been warned by
local authorities that his son was making threats, I might not feel so harshly towards him. But the fact of the matter is he was warned and bought the kid a(nother) weapon anyway. That is negligent.
In other situations, the FBI did nothing and let something happen. In this instance, they informed local authorities who took the kid's word over the FBI evidence. I feel like the FBI did their part of the job,
for once.
There is plenty of that to go around in this echo, from all sides, unfortunately.

It is easy access to guns. And type of guns used. On the second
school day of the year, a shooting occurred in Georgia, killing four people - two adults and two children. The shooter surrendered, and
was charged as an adult - at age 14. How many more unnecessary
killings have to happen before this pandemic is brought to an end? Children killing children (and adults) for sport. WE LOVE OUR GUNS!
We love our guns. Doesn't matter who kills who. Or how many folks
get killed. Guns are a sacred right. According to the 2nd Amendment.

I'm still a bit miffed that proponents of indivisualism, local government, and
