1. To be fair...

…it was a stunningly low price offered on Black Friday.

2. You Can Never Have Too Many Guns

Did he buy the gun as a gift for his son?

How many guns do they actually have?

4. What tfu ...why did he think this was a good idea?

Do we need more guns? Can’t say I’m sorry for thinking of this but.. oh, hell..I’ll get zapped. But why was this even a considered purchase?

...The suspected shooter was described as a 15-year-old boy who went to the school. Bouchard said he was found carrying a Sig Sauer 9mm pistol and was taken into custody without resistance.

Bouchard said the gun still had seven bullets loaded when he was taken into custody. He said the family had hired a lawyer and the Oxford High School sophomore has not spoken.

He is expected to be charged with homicide and attempted homicide. Bouchard said the teen is housed at an Oakland County juvenile center and is under suicide watch.

The gun, Bouchard said, had been purchased four days before the shooting by the teen’s father...

7. Yes the family is not cooperating

the suspect’s parents visited their son where he’s being held and advised him not to talk to investigators, as is his right.
The sheriff said the suspect had practiced shooting with the gun and posted pictures of it and the target.
This may be why some students would not go to school . Some students claim there were warnings on social media and stayed home

8. So.. this threat was on on social media

And some kids knew to stay away.. fine police work. A mess starting w/ buying a gun.

9. if this student (using the term loosely)

targeted the victims because of a problem with them...

and the dad bought the gun for the kid for either "defense" or (unimaginable) "to win a fight"... the parents will be sued into oblivion.

10. If true, the parents should be charged as accessories.

Buying a 15-year-old a Sig Sauer? Come on.

11. +1000

Some on DU think suing the parents is justice enough for the loss of those precious children.

The father needs to be arrested and charged.
