I read the article too fast. It was his grandfather with the felony record.

Wendy's with an e. Maybe being employed making hamburgers was enough.
Me dino never bought a car from anyone asking for my education status.

The timeline was just released. Not only did the cops stand down for 45 minutes while little kids were being slaughtered, they tazered and hand cuffed the parents who were trying to get in the fire-zone and stop the madness.
You got three doors to chose from Monty: 1:Cowardice, 2:Incompetence 3:Willing Participant (PSYOP)

Nay. 5.56x45 and 7.62x39! 300 is a dangerous round. Will load and fire in a 5.56x45 upper, and destroy it, sometimes with significant personnel hazard. 300 blackout will never enter my house. It should never have been made, unless the case shoulder was high enough a 5.56 bolt would not go into battery on one!

However, buy lots of AR lowers! After rebuilding an AK, I have to say that is a great firearm too. The biggest fault it has is the lack of mounting for an optic. However, there is a mod that replaces the recoil piston cylinder that has a Picatinny rail! They are ultra reliable, simple and cheap. Everything about them is "American" except the origin, just like American cars, with lug studs, not idiotic lug bolts!

Time to celebrate Memorial Day.
Buy an AR-15 with 2 upper receivers (5.56 and .300)

18 yr old with no record can buy whatever they want. Why not an AR15? Alternative is to make 21 the age of adulthood. FL has their 21 yr old AR limit/law struck down as unconstitutional.

Battery blow up was a smoke screen, Just lazy.

The way you lay that out it sure does! Especially the border patrol agent being the only one with the cajones to deal with it. Was he not written in? Or maybe he'd had enough of this kind of stuff going down in southern Tehas.

It sounds less crazy every day.

In todays world, and in particularly relating to leftists, one must take everything said and put it through a translator to determine what its supposed to convince you to do. What they say seems to never be just plain truth and fact

it doesn't... I agree....

I'm saying this is why our government targeted this kid... To create a narrative of gun control

I can't argue much with what you are saying. But the current climate is not one conducive for quality policing. There are a lot of police who had their lives ruined while trying to do their best job. and I have never had to test my courage to the degree that cops experience.
And, like it says above, how does an 18 year old get 2 AR-15s and 300 rounds LEGALY ? Without getting some notice, even in Tehas.
Lastly, why can't the Betos and the Schumers etc. let these people grieve and heal themselves without not letting one of their famous crisis go to waste. (? not needed , we know why) WPOS all of them. Public Servant is the biggest misnomer ever.

Interesting. I have had occasions where people need a jump start or I need one, and its not hard to get random people to help out. Interesting that the cop wouldnt for fear of battey blowing up, but random people are supposedly ok with that?

I still think its more likely that I will need to rely on myself than wait around for a mercenary cop to help out.

of course they are. Our government is the enemy of the people now. At least I think so

agreed, other than the gun, according to the fake news, he purchased, and only turned 18 last week.

Why didn't he just steal (borrow)... Because if he did, then they couldn't push gun control. I just found it odd that every article I read said "legally purchased"

How does my logic imply that the kid wasn't troubled, or that weapons are responsible for all murders and therefore should be banned?

agreed, me and my wife were just discussing caring our side arms when we leave our house from now on. We live in a constitutional carry state (Idaho). Better to have and not need it then to need it and not have it.

I think everyone supposes this kid was troubled in multiple ways… All I’m saying is that we are witnessing the full force of the media, tech and government shaping this narrative, “guns bad”.

If we used the same logic:
- We would have to stop driving because cars kill people
- Stop selling rope because rope strangles
- Disallowed cliff climbing because sudden stops are bad
- We would have to disallow the unvaccinated from public places, so the good people don’t get sick.
- Force a vaccinee for employment because the unvaccinated kill

This is just fodder for the anti-gun idiots, funny part is when the engineered food crise truly began, they will want me and my gun to protect their food, lives and family.

If the news is not squashed by "fact checker", we are dumb.

That was a newer Ford pickup,$$$ for an 18 year old drop out working a Windys, just saying

You think the FBI that colluded overthrow Trump is not capable of engineering public outcry to confiscate guns.

or government for the same reason...

When I was in HS we had a battery problem about 5 miles from home. We were at a 7-11. A cop came through, and we asked if he could give us a jump start (we had cables). "We aren't allowed. There have been too many batteries blowing up." was the response. This is BS, just another lazy public servant not wanting to help. We walked five miles home (no ride either), got another car and did the jump ourselves.

My brother had a car painted in red primer, getting ready for the paint (we had no $, so this was for a while). He got pulled over 8 times in six months. The last time, he said: "I've been pulled over 7 time in the last six months with no issues any time. Why did YOU pull me over?" The cop replied while looking at his feet "Dirty tail lights" and let him go. It just goes on and on.

If I worked in a saw mill, I couldn't count one hand's worth of fingers the times I needed a cop.

There are nice ones. I've spoken to plenty that were police and friendly. I live in a small semi-rural affluent town, and they don't mess with the adults who live here. However, they give out tickets to everyone else like they are going out of style. The town is also VERY firearm friendly, and you will get approved for an LTC (in MA) every time. Reason on the form: "To exercise my Constitutional right", suggested by the officer himself.

"The Democrats are practically orgasmic over the school deaths. They're giddy with what they think they can accomplish now WRT the next election." I agree as I'm getting the same impression from the entire Neo Communist (Democrat) machine and membership. Their feigning concern over all of this is nothing more than not letting a crisis go to waste to further their agenda.

While I can't dismiss the idea that the murder had outside support, I do have a hypothesis that might partially explain his state of mind. I read that he was "supposed" to graduate with his class this year, which implies that he didn't meet graduation criteria after all. While there are many reasons for academic failure, one is inadequate instruction in elementary school. He may also have been jealous of his high school classmates. Perhaps these factors helped fuel his rage.
