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.
If I had lost a child, getting into the political fight over gun control would be the last thing I would want to do.
Very possibly lying about it would tend to make him look like a very bad person.
He is the one who brought it up as an attack on gun rights right in the middle of a furious debate.
If all he wanted to do was grieve for his Son, we certainly would not attack him, but when he attacks us, and he did just by the wording of his statement you think we are being mean to dispute what he says.
