[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The school psychs can identify these kids. Instead of dumping money into bs we need to separate these crazy kids into centers where they can get help.

This kid has a horrific home life with insane and abusive parents. That’s no excuse but the system failed him.

He should have been removed from that environment once he made those threats and involuntarily committed to a facility where he could get help. Admin, local gov, and feds knew about this kid and the home environment he had. It was a ticking time bomb. [/quote]

No, they cannot-that's garbage.  There are 1-2 psychologists for 2000 kids at some schools.   Georgia doesn't even have a law requiring that guns be stored safely away from children and others, so there's no way to prosecute the parents for manslaughter.  So all of those saying to prosecute the parents should try to explain first why the GOP is so averse to any national gun safety laws, like that people should be required to lock up their guns so kids can't reach them.[/quote]

If I recall correctly, Michigan did not adopt safe storage laws until after the Oxford shooting. Those parents were tried and convicted so I don't see why this father couldn't be charged as well.[/quote]

Agreed. Even if there isn't a gun storage law, the father (if the gun came from his house) was negligent based on history.

Gun storage laws would be a good first step. So yes, the "shall not be infringed" crowd gets to continue cosplaying. But at least this would be a good step to helping school shootings. The same with adding scrutiny to an 18-year old buying guns. The older adults (i.e., drinking age) can continue cosplaying and pretending they're ready to fight off the "police state"...but this would be another sensible step with respect to school shootings.[/quote]
