@great-big-stees saidYes, that was around the year you were born right? 🙂 J/K of course!
Hmmmm. Think that was 1787.🤔

@the-gravedigger saidSeems I’ve accidentally removed my post when I tried to quote it. 😏
The boy was known to have mental problems and his dad bought him a gun. Somewhat irresponsible I would say.
Well, each parent of the Michigan school shooter has got a 10 - 15 year prison sentence.
@drewnogal saidIs it the first time it happens that parents are punished in a similar way?

@torunn saidI’m wondering whether the ‘child’ is on the autistic spectrum, having inherited this from his parents, indicating a weak capacity to accurately read the emotions of others. I have some family experience of this.
Is it the first time it happens that parents are punished in a similar way?
If this is the case I feel that the parental sentences are quite harsh for these ‘first’ offending parents.
@drewnogal saidI understand the boy was 15 of course the Parents should be held responsible, as they bought him the gun if I understood correctly.

@very-rusty saidSo anyone who buys a gun for a minor will get a similar sentence?

@drewnogal saidWill this verdict be precedential?
So anyone who buys a gun for a minor will get a similar sentence?
@drewnogal saidI certainly hope so if the boy has anger issues! I don't have a gun as I am afraid I may use it on someone in the heat of the moment.

@very-rusty saidKids and guns shouldn't be allowed.

@very-rusty saidMy folks bought me a single shot 22 for my 13th birthday. No problems there but I didn’t have “issues” and it was in the 50s. Different times/attitudes. The only thing I shot were paper targets.
Agreed, Parents should know better than to buy a 15 year old a gun.
If they do they should be responsible for what ever happens.

-Removed-Like you gooster, trouble seems to follow me around. I go where I want when I want, just don't carry a fire arm because in the heat of the moment I could and would use it. Just that simple. I know my limitations. For example I don't know how long I could stay in a room with you before something would happen. 🙂
