I don't know what kind of therapists you have spoken to, but from family experience, the boy sounds like he is more than a little troubled. Your post describes some characteristics of narcissistic personality disorder. You seem to understand that this boy has serious issues and is not just 'acting up'. Of course you need to keep him away from guns. Good luck to you, him, and his mother.
