Here is the quote from his tweet, at least as the article portrayed it.
“Someone on the internet sold Matthew an unregistered gun. I pray he seeks God’s forgiveness. I forgive him. #MATTHEW 6:15,”
If he is not promoting gun registration, why would he need to forgive the person who sold his son an unregistered gun?
I doubt that Warren is as deep into the gun debate as some of us.
It sounds like the police told him that it was an illegal gun with the identifying info removed and he just said, “unregistered” because that’s what they told him.
I would imagine a parent would say, “Where did he get the gun?” And police would say, “We don’t know ... it was unregistered...”
Also, with a history of suicidal depression, it’s quite possible that Matthew wouldn’t pass a background check to buy a gun.
I just think everyone needs to cool off and consider Warren’s position right now. Also, none of the proposed legislation (and from what I just checked California has some of the strictest) would have stopped this from happening.
The son bought a gun with information removed from it and killed himself.
