Your average 15 yo is not mature enough to have unrestricted access to a semi-auto handgun.

Where is your proof?

There are probably over a million 15-year-old people with unrestricted access to semi-auto handguns in the country.

The vast majority of them act responsibly.

The vast majority of them who do not act responsibly do not have fathers in the home.

Most of them are black teen males in urban crime centers.

A few bad actors out of a million.

I think, now that we know this troubled teen had been giving out warnings, maybe the parents could have done more.

When the parents saw the picture which caught the teachers eye, the warning stuff had all be obliterated.

Anyone else catch that?

Looking for ammo online is not a warning sign.

Times have changed since you and I grew up, Dean. I grew up in a rural farming community where it would not be unusual for a middle schooler to own a semi-auto .22 or .410 shotgun, perhaps, but I don’t know anyone that would be allowed to play around with dad’s 9mm. The anti-gunners are looking for any excuse to pass universal background checks and ban semi-autos. Responsible gun owners need to be more diligent than ever before about gun safety.
