Saying this while there are still injured children in the hospital and parents are mourning their children is disgusting. He would have been better off saying nothing at all. Who is the audience for this anyway, most republicans I know as least have some compassion. What happened to the normal republicans?

firearms sales have tripled from 10 million a year in 1999 to close to 30 million a year today.
Today, every single year, american buy somewhere around ~20-25 million handguns and 5-8 million long guns rifles/shoguns. by comparison, all US police, federal law enforcement and military procures under 100,000 long guns a year. The world's military/police forces on a good year procures ~300-400k long guns a year. The american civilian procures more long guns than the entire police/military of the planet by somewhere close to 20 to 1.
With the advent of 3d printing, it is getting easier and easier to manufacture firearms from your basement.
Threats to ban so called "assault weapons" have only led to skyrocketing sales, as america household stockpile of arms begins to even dwarf that of the soviet stockpile during the coldwar readied for a mainland invasion of europe.
CIA estimates back in the 90s that the soviet old coldwar stockpile of AK/RPKs/SKS during the coldwar was about 50-75 million, maybe 2/3 still functional
American in the last 20 years have stockpilled somewhere close to 60-80 million semi auto rifles. american civilian arsenal is starting to dwarf that of the soviet stockpiles
Face it. Its over. We are never getting rid of guns, you are never getting rid of "assault weapons". If anything as those things become more and more common, it will get harder and harder to ever ban them under Bruen.

Young white male citizen. The Maga crowd loves to blame immigrants for everything but most perpetrators of mass shootings have been white male citizens of the USA
WRONG. Mass shootings are 3 or more shot people. Black people are the largest perpetrators of these crimes. Over 52% of black men who make up about 6% of the population.

So many questions.
The kid had threatened to shoot up his school in 2023 per the FBI
Yup. Parents going to get charged in this one.
Kid’s name is “Colt.” OF COURSE he had full access to the weapons in his home.

Quoting myself since I called this.
Your call was and is sound, but surprised at the number and type of charges, including murder. I am not bothered in the least by the father's charge, but it does show the utter seriousness in which this rural county in Georgia is taking this incident. Surprised there has not been more outcry over the kid being tried as an adult, although on the alleged facts doesn't bother me either.
