I’m really curious how you think that would follow from what I wrote.
However, I do understand that you might have thought it’s not that simple and cheap to manufacture guns, and that it freaks you out to learn that you have been mistaken.
How that would lead to wild speculations about the kid’s intentions, about what the parents should have noticed, etc. is still beyond me. Maybe you can help me out and explain that?
It’s wrong on both counts, and it’s also a consequence of gun culture either way. The cops can’t fix that, I’m afraid. However, if it was for “shits and giggles”, as you put it, and the cops now manage to frame it as an “intent to sell”, that would haunt a 14-year old for the rest of his life. I think you would not be ok with that, correct?
