How many may not be as talkative?

The killer in FL used social media to express his hate and show his weapons and this PA 14 yr. old bragged out loud, but just simply telling teens to speak up if something they see or hear doesn't feel right , I am afraid would not help catch anyone silently stewing with a cache of weapons . BS

Lenora Ann Hendrix, of Markleysburg, Pennsylvania, was charged with knowingly and intentionally delivering or providing a firearm to a minor, according to ABC affiliate WTAE, after her son threatened to carry out a mass shooting at Uniontown High School last month.
A witness reported that she overheard the suspect saying he would kill four classmates he disliked, officials said.

Police later obtained a search warrant for the suspect's home and recovered from his bedroom a semi-automatic rifle, a shotgun, two machetes, throwing knives, two lever-action rifles, a revolver, a cross bow, "and bulk ammunition for all of the weapons," Fayette County District Attorney Richard Bower said at a news conference in January.

When asked about the weapons, Hendrix told police that she permitted her son to store firearms in his bedroom to teach him responsibility and to "let him grow up," according to a criminal complaint.

The suspect "indicated that it would be extremely easy to sneak a gun into the school in his backpack," Bower said. "And he also indicated that he could use a sniper rifle from a distance, or use a shotgun for mass casualties."
