[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 4323147, member: 1132"] So far the best article I've seen for adding context is (shockingly) an article posted as "opinion" on The Daily Beast. Normally I'd never give them a click, but they earned it here: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.thedailybeast.com/how-georgia-school-shooting-suspect-colt-grays-father-missed-all-the-warning-signs?ref=home?ref=home[/URL] I think it boils down to this: Father to Investigator: “He gets flustered and under pressure. He doesn't really think straight.” Same Father 7 months later: "Merry Christmas son <gifts 13 y.o. kid an AR-15>..." Yes, I'm a 2nd Amendment absolutist. I don't see how that conflicts with the fact that this father should be held criminally liable for his kid's criminal misuse of a firearm, which he shouldn't have had access to without direct adult supervision. I don't think law enforcement necessarily failed here. I'm tech savvy enough to recognize just how difficult it would be to legally connect the kid to those posts. There's plenty of reasonable doubt presented in this article to arrive at that conclusion. I do think the school could've done more and the family definitely could've. All it takes is a handful of people, sometimes just one, to follow through and break the cycle. It doesn't take policy, it takes commitment. [/QUOTE]
