targeted by gun violence. Therefore, unimaginable.

he didn't start out a monster.

sure, arrest the father for giving the troubled kid an AR15 and charge the father with 2nd degree murder and manslaughter and whatever.

BTW why stop there?

Arrest the politicians that allowed the father to purchase a weapon of war and hand it to a 14 year old.

Arrest the gun maker that makes available to the public a weapon of war with no responsibility for the lives this weapon costs..

Charge them ALL with murder and manslaughter and child endangerment.

Maybe the CEO of a gun maker, facing 50 years in prison, might make them reconsider the line of work they are in.

The Bill of Rights ( including the 2nd ) should be a "Bill of Rights and Responsibility" i.e. you have the right... but you also own the responsibility to make certain that a 14 year old doesn't abuse the right by doing everything in your power to prevent the 14 year old from using a mass killing machine. Which is why we have strict car license regulations. you have a right to drive... but you have to have a drivers license, pass a driving test, know the laws regulating the safe use of the vehicle, keep your 14 year old kid from driving it to school and possibly crashing it into a group of other children... and you have to carry insurance for owning it.

too bad automobiles did not exist in 1791 but guns did, otherwise the right to own and drive a car might be included in the Bill of Rights which, if written the way the 2nd amendment was written, might be used as an excuse for restricting the age of drivers or the need to pass a drivers test and hold a drivers license. Maybe cause another 200,000 deaths by car accident every year.
