Father of Georgia school shooting suspect told investigators he purchased gun as holiday present for son, sources say
The father of the Apalachee High School shooting suspect has been arrested in connection with the shooting that left four people dead, according to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.
The father of the mass shooting suspect accused of killing four people at Apalachee High School in Winder, Georgia, told investigators this week he had purchased the gun used in the killings as a holiday present for his son in December 2023, according to two law enforcement sources with direct knowledge of the investigation.
Colt Gray, a 14-year-old student, is accused of killing two students and two teachers with an AR-style rifle in the Wednesday shooting. Nine more people were hospitalized.
One source told CNN the AR-15-style rifle was purchased at a local gun store as a Christmas present.
You're viewing a single thread.
Americans need to analyze their views surrounding guns. And take their time. It's mind-blowing to try to make them understand guns are risky, regardless of handling, trigger discipline, or any other bullshit they tell themselves. The mere existence of guns is dangerous, the bigger the number of guns out there is the amount of accidents, shootings and massacres waiting to happen out there.
Edit: yeah, pushed some buttons here. Good.
Who have you been talking to? 80 percent of Americans want gun control laws like a universal background check. For a general question of more strict laws support is at 60 percent.
Here's a former Supreme Court judge saying the conservatives have hijacked the second amendment and we in response we should repeal it.
Washington Post reports that around that same period 21 percent of Americans were ready to repeal it.
We're out here, and we're pissed. We just get angrier every time time we see a headline and every time it turns out that common sense gun laws were subverted by people in authority.

based. The ruling of the second is unconstitutional anyway.
For all the talk over roe v wade being "unconstitutional and the wong way to do it" the conservatives sure seem to like the second amendment.
It's funny (in a sad way) how people who frequent shooting ranges - which usually have very strict rules regarding firearm discipline and handling safety - are fine with allowing every schmuck in the world to walk around packing. If that shit is so important on a gun range, why would it be unimportant out in the world?

The comment about being a cruel turd, that one’s still accurate so it stands 💅
Sorry remind me when if ever you’ve walked through a shopping center and needed to know where your safest exits were? Where you’d hide with the thickest cover? Thought about which stairwell might be safest?
Not just a shopping center. How about your workplace. Or church. Or which corner of your house you’d survive longest in.
Thought about all those things, have you? Wow congrats, aren’t you so ahead of the game.
Talking as if all my friends and family haven’t ever once given a thought to guns. What a lazy, facile, mindlessly cruel claim to make.
What a bad person with an ugly heart you are to make it.
Fuck you.
You ever been anywhere outside America or even your mom's basement?
the mere existence of literally anything is dangerous. Guns are just uniquely primed to kill humans.
Knives scare me more than guns, just based of the pure frequency of how often people use them.
Let me analyze this for a minute... Nope not giving up my rights because criminals can't control themselves from committing crimes.
