In some ways, it's kind of a textbook school shooting situation, right? Which is a crazy term to even be able to say, highlighting the alarming normalization of school shootings in society.
It seems like it was a gift from his father. He got this AR-15 from his father, illustrating the concerning legal loopholes that allow minors to receive firearms as gifts.
It's unclear the details at this point, but we do know that he made threats before and that the FBI had talked to his father, at least, about the threats. This indicates a larger issue of ignoring warning signs related to gun violence.
I am concerned that charging the father with manslaughter is signaling that we are actually doing something about a problem that we're not. This reflects broader anxieties regarding the effectiveness of current strategies to combat gun violence.
