We have a friend with a huge collection of guns...and a very emotionally unstable teenager. It's kind of scary; the parents are in serious denial about the possibilites. The guns are NOT locked up from what we can tell. The child was in a mental hospital less than three weeks ago.

He is a very nice boy; we are hoping he is getting the right help
