And his mother helped him buy the guns!! how sick!

[Debbieangel]

On the news it said that the mother bought three of the guns for the kid! It also showed all the guns the kid has stockpiled! There are alot of guns!

If this kid would have been able to do what he planned another Columbine!

Scary!

charges against the mother are likely. "I think you have a parent who has fallen down on the job in supervising the child, perhaps indulgent on the child because she knows he has issues."

Unfathomable. If this child was much younger, I'd say she should lose custody, but at this point, the kid's probably screwed no matter what.

As an interesting side note...

The 14-year-old is expected to appear in juvenile court Friday to face charges that could include making terroristic threats, criminal solicitation, weapons possession, and possession and manufacturing of weapons of mass destruction, police said.
Either the article isn't specifying the "weapons of mass destruction" or there really is a new pussified (read: propagandized) version of the word out there. Will the government eventually be telling us that everyone with a gun is a "terrorist" and that M80s are I.E.D.s?

Yes, and while she DID buy him guns, she didn't buy any ammo. I assume she meant for him to earn the money for ammo on his own?:lol:

seriously. its not uncommon out here for a 9 year old to be in possesion of a few rifles for huting or otherwise

[Marie]

As a gun owner myself, I sympathize. I just found it ironic that the Mom is under arrest and she bought the guns and no ammo. So owning a gun, without the ammo for it, and having violent fantasies is about as common among teenaged boys as wet dreams.

People the table full of AK's you saw on TV were all AIRSOFT. The kid had a single shot .22lr rifle, a Ruger .22lr pistol, and a 9mm semi-automatic rifle (no doubt a hipoint). http://www.mercurynews.com/nationworld/ci_7168675

I'm pretty sure in order for something to be considered a WMD it has to kill a minimal amount of something like 20 people. So this kid might have been making pipe bombs or something, which technically could kill 20 people if they were all gathered around it in a circle.

and people bitch when a 14 year old makes his parents buy him a copy of vice city:rolleyes:

It was covered in the original article that a number of the weapons were airsoft. The problems I, and think some others, have is with the real guns, the kid's complete access to them and the kid's lack of stability.
