The father buys his son an AR-15. How is it the father's fault? Of course the father has been arrested and I see it as just another way to keep guns out of the hands of another generation.

Will cars be next? If not, why?

Very dangerous precedent.

“His father Colin Gray has told authorities that he bought the gun for the boy himself as a Christmas gift....just months after the teenager and his father were interviewed by local law enforcement in connection with online threats about carrying out a school shooting”

Colin needs an experienced criminal defense attorney.

His father Colin Gray has told authorities that he bought the gun for the boy himself as a Christmas gift... just months after the teenager and his father were interviewed by local law enforcement in connection with online threats about carrying out a school shooting.

I'd say the dad is gonna need a really good lawyer...

[Nextrush]

I’m just a sinner repenting needing to repent more a novel idea...

[jerod]

He made threats, was investigated by the FBI... Then his father bought him rifle... That doesn’t sound like the best parenting idea.

Better to purchase good firearms for each child as a/he grows up. And make sure s/he has good safety and care instruction. And make sure the school has a good instructor for firearms safety training and shooting sports.
An armed society is a free society. And a lower- crime and more polite one, too.

The original headline at source is:

“Georgia school shooter Colt Gray received AR-15 for mass shooting as Christmas present from father”

The problem in this case is that the cops had already directed dad to keep his guns locked up and away from the kid after he made online threats to shoot up schools, and Dad promised he would. Then Dad goes and buys the kid his very own gun a few months later.

Sorry brits. Pound sand.

[Fungi]

How about teaching your children the Ten Commandments?

[bimboeruption]

From the article: Colt Gray was given the gun he used to shoot dead four people at his Georgia high school as a Christmas present from his father months AFTER they were questioned by the FBI over alleged threats.

The operative word is “AFTER”.

I’d like to know more about the alleged threats. Were they credible?

If the answer is “yes”, the father should bear some responsibility for the actions of his minor son.

Stay out of it, Limeys!

Nope. Not while you have an open border and 20 million flood in, you send drag queens to schools, you chop off little boy’s penises, you flood America with 145 billion Oxycontin pills, BLM and Anitfa terror runs unchecked, schools teach communism as the way, people in Government openly speak of whites in pre-genocidal terms, the last two elections were rife with fraud, we teeter on the brink of economic collapse, WWIII or Civil War is not completely unthinkable, The FBI knelt before revolutionary socialist BLM and deified Floyd George...

I think I’ll make sure my kiddos learn, and are equipped.

There is a difference between a gun and a car, but if your child (or whoever)used the gift in the. Commission of a crime, you will be sued for damages even if you avoid criminal charges. No, not a lawyer but I know this from a legal case in which I was involved. The giver avoided a lawsuit by filing a disclaimer with the DMV.

[joshua c]

the father said he had a gun safe

why wasnt the ar15 in the safe?

[RedMonqey]

I think having the FBI showing up at your door months ahead of the purchase asking questions about yoor son might be an indication.

“Pressure parents to stop buying guns for their Sons and Daughters.”

Oh, please. Kids have had guns for centuries, but it’s only recently that these shoot-’em-ups have happened. Parents need to start being parents, and they and their kids need to get to church instead of soccer fields on Sundays.

Maybe if Mom were home with them she’d get a clue about issues.

I never owned a semi-automatic or multiple shot magazine gun until I was old enough to buy it for mysel. I did have a single shot 410 shotgun about as soon as I was able to hold it up and I got a brand new Ithica ingle single hot .22 for my fifth birthday. It wa only used under supervision until I was about 8 then I could go target shooting but only with permission. I was 11 when I mowed enough lawns to buy a long barrel Winchester 1866 Commemorative rifle. I’ve never killed anybody with any of those guns. I usually carried a Remington 1100 to school every day during hunting season. I never shot anybody with that gun either.
