The problem wasn't the gun. It was just another fucking punk who thought a female student owed him something because he was attracted to her.

The text that was under those photos "Hunter: Fryberg has been described as an avid hunter. Three months ago, he shared an image of himself showing of his new rifle (right)"

Heritage: Fryberg was a member of the Tulalip Native-American tribe

He comes from a tribe and family that does hunt and fish for food. That being said he was also popular, athletic, culturally active and smart. His family contains many tribal leaders and he was a highly regarded young person within his community.

Apparently he was distraught over a girl and one of the boys shot was his cousin

It's a very sad situation. He was clearly not in his right mind. And as much as I hate gun culture in this country there is more here than the picture you are portraying with those photos,

Its very tragic..And we don't have the whole story yet

protect the wildlife they hunt. His grandfather is the Director of Fish and Wildlife in the tribe. I have no problem with his family hunting for food. I have heard he had some pretty disturbing twitter feeds though. Maybe that is where they need to start investigating.
