Should parents be jailed if their children have access to their firearms and use them in a shooting?

[KnuckleFukr]

I didn’t read all of the previous 247 pages, but has anyone asked if the parents of the kid that shot Trump’s ear was charged?

Or did the Dems try to give them a second place trophy?

So why is nobody talking about the last 6 or 7 mass shooters were all from the LGBTQMNLOP community?

It is amazing how predictable the "reporting" is. Those cases were swept under the rug. Manifestos VERY carefully hidden. Any dissent or mention of this on social media (aside from odt and rumble lol) will get you marked a protected class bully and banned forever.

It plays on the human psyche like a fiddle. Put out the agenda if it fits the agenda, bury the story if it doesn't, and lie about everything else. People believe what they hear initially, and then the media either later comes back to "correct" the lie, or they don't. At that point, people don't care. Plus people have goldfish memory. That's why there is always an October surprise and always some hyped up shooting before rare pro 2a legislative items are brought to the floor. It's sickening.

Not sure that was the case here... one kind of sketch X post showing someone supposed to be him but fully masked in all the pics.

That being said, ALL school killers were bullied and being LBGTxyz in a rural school is going to get you that. You don't fantasize about shooting your classmates if they just made you prom queen.

What's weird here is that the kid had only been at this particular school a month or so. Not a lot of time to build up a hatred of your classmates.

Country area school, probably only took a day or two if he really was light in his loafers.

I don’t think that’s the issue. We know the dad did that. I have an issue with the charges. He’s being charged with murder. I could possibly understand lesser charges but murder is ridiculous. I’m not a lawyer so I don’t know what lesser charges would look like.

OCGA 16-5-1
In Georgia, second-degree murder is defined as causing the death of another person while committing second-degree child cruelty, regardless of malice. This statute was created in 2014 to address the issue of child deaths caused by abuse being punished the same under the state's felony murder rule.
The punishment for second-degree murder in Georgia is 10 to 30 years in prison.
Second-degree murder is different from other types of murder, such as first-degree murder, felony murder, and voluntary manslaughter. The definition of second-degree murder varies by state.

Here's how the father can be charged (because of his actions; his son was able to commit murder) As has been pointed out several times; get away drivers also get charged... case law has shown over and over that a person can be charged when his actions is what causes the death of another...

I wonder if the mother and grandparents should be charged also?
Did they contribute to his psychosis? Maybe help pay for the AR?
Did they know about the deputy’s visit and possible threats?
Did they also know dad bought him an AR?
What did school counselor and/or principal know and when? Charge them too?
I think the dad in this case could be charged with negligence…or is there a charge for gross stupidity?
He is certainly financially liable.
But murder? Idk.
One thing I know for certain is the government has no business defining how guns HAVE TO BE STORED.
What a can of worms that would be…

You are omitting the key details, of which none that you mentioned apply. Apart from the grandparents helping fund the purchase knowingly (which I have not heard from any source).

None of the charges are about how they're stored. Because the gun was given directly and intentionally to this youth.

But if that was the issue at hand, obviously I agree with you. It's good to promote safe practices among gun owners but it definitely shouldn't be legislation or be regulated

Several states like California , New England States, and IIRC, Hawaii among others do dictate what "Safe" storage is. And It is a can of stupid.

Some states are already living the dream...

Secure Storage or Child Access Prevention Required

Secure storage laws prevent unauthorized access by requiring gun owners to lock up their firearms. States should require secure storage of firearms.
