Especially now since they will be a flight risk.

Because you may not know that in America, it's well known that a firearm builds character in troubled youth. Just ask any Gundamentalist.
Note: this only applies to White Boys.

They probably blamed it on someone else not knowing a thing about their kid.

(47,107 posts)8. Yes they will blame everyone else. And claim victim status.
They will blame the school, the police, the prosecutor, antigun lobby, liberals.
They will claim political prosecution, etc.

I shoot recreationally.
My 16-year old soon has been joining me for the last three years.
Every gun is locked up all the time when not around me and my control.
My kid isnt troubled, but he is still a kid.
