Negligent discharge and multiple safety rule violations + using a stolen handgun + killing your friend. Ugly case and a terrible tragedy... and the silence of the anti-gun crowd is deafening.

No "mandatory safe storage" law could have prevented this, but maybe if somebody had taught this young man the four rules, his 14 year old friend would still be alive.

The charging papers allege that the pistol Anderson shot Devereaux-Hale with was possibly stolen, with signs that the serial number had been tampered with. Authorities say they also found an additional 9 mm pistol and a .22-caliber pistol in Anderson's room, pistols they believe were stolen as well.

Burien teen who shot friend charged with manslaughter
 
( no Joke)I could drive a car, pilot a plane and pilot a boat all before I was 18, and they can't figure out a firearm ?
Maybe its why I have such a low tolerance for stupid. Taught how to use power tools, work on cars and truck all before 18 still have all my fingers having used blades spinning many thousands of RPM's but they can't figure out a firearm.
My two boys knew how to clean and care for a firearm at age 12 because I am not a moron, and if I don't teach them no one will. Also taught them about drugs and condoms ...............You can't fix stupid, but looks like many are raise stupid.
 
Stolen gun...underage and untrained user of the stolen gun , shot and killed a friend...
Just how many existing laws are broken here in this news story...?

Not sure of just how to keep these things from happening....but I have no doubt that it is somehow the fault of gun owners in general......or so the news story will be spun.

Important to note this is not a recent problem and has been an issue for decades, from my recollection, it was the 1970's
when these things appeared to be gaining more and more progression, as certain changes in leadership drove out school safety training. There is actually a cause for these happening but its swept under the rug, and replaced with Dehumanizing gun owners, and demonizing the firearm.
 
Bring Gun/Hunter safety to school and I bet we could watch stories like this drop off the map. Unfortunately even with classes and certifications people still show massive incompetency example get on I-5 watch stupid unfold.
 
Accully the anti gun people have already got to the family's involved in this .
I heard a mom or aunt or someone do a interview.
And the one thing she kept saying is .
People need to know that guns kill people
 
Can anyone say "firearms safety class"? Another reason it should be mandatory in our schools. :rolleyes:

Of course, this kid was going around stealing guns, so there's that.......dummy. :mad:

They will never let gun talk back in the school.
They suspend kids that even say the word gun at school .

Cool name by the way .hehe

That's a shame. This mom should be placing the blame on the "friend" who was messing around and pointing the gun at her son in the first place.

Then again, this same mom is the one who said it was OK for her son to spend the night and hang out with his killer... so there's that. It's sad to say, but it sounds like another parent who failed to be a parent, and now her kid is dead.

But it's the gun's fault, right? =/
 
I was driving my truck, speeding, ran a red light and hit a parked car and a cop game me a ticket.
  1. The light changed to fast, not my fault.
  2. That car should not be parked in that parking spot.
  3. Cops only gave me a ticket because my skin pigment.
  4. Lastly Trucks are dangerous, when speeding, running lights and hitting cars, someone should have done something to stop it.o_O
 
But you see how the media just left out the story that about the guy killed on a bus .I believe it was @American123 started a thread about . nothing in the news about this .
But black kid kills his friend with a stolen gun all over the place .mmmmmmm .
 
Same here in yUK. Monday night's Panorama programme was about the use of obsolete-calibre handguns in crime. Every single victim of one of these guns was black, the gun was operated by a black and was bought from another black. The commentator was black, too, and had a suitably mournfull face and doomy voice throughout the whole programme, that is, when he wasn't either being astonished or outraged. The two ex-gang members, one of whom was now a 'rap-singer' specialising in school visits belabouring the dangers of marginalisation, were also black. It's very difficult NOT to be marginalised when you are not only black, but 99% incomprehensible to the average white person. One of the two major players in the production of ammunition and provision of the guns used in a large number of murders and 'shootings with injuries' WAS what they are now calling 'bi-racial, which I take to mean half-man/half lobster [I might just be wrong here - somebody help me out?] - and is now serving 20 years. The main man, a former legal dealer called Edmonds, appears to be totally white, but his customer base, OTOH, seems to be black. He is serving 30 years - with 29 years and nine months to go...

PS - PC sensitivity here in yUK is hitting a new high, even more than a few years back when I had an article returned to me for revision because it contained the word 'sbubblegum'.

I re-wrote it, 'replacing 'sbubblegum' with 'snegro'. I'm still waiting for the resplone.

And as for the on-going farce of the remake of the WW2 movie - '(The) Dambusters', arguments about the name of Wg Cdr Guy Gibson's dog, 'N*****r'and renaming of the pet who has actually got a grave at RAF Scampton with his name proudly enscribed on it, have been tearing script-writers apart for years.

The schools are ok teaching 43 genders or whatever the count and sex ed because it may save disease and unwanted pregnancies. Knowledge is life. But to give basic knowledge of safe firearms handling is out of the question. Teach the 4 basic safety rules, types of firearms and the dangers they represent. Oh, throw in a little legalize. Like shooting someone may send you away for life.

These days of video gaming where the hero gets blown up and 'refreshed' are giving yoof the wrong idea. Getting a faceful of a 9mm slug from a few feet is not only not pretty, but can definitely close down your game forever, as in this case.

That's a life. Gone, just like that, and forever. No refresh button here, Sir.

I'm starting to come around to thinking that the application of some shock and horror treatment, where the arrival of somebody's child in ER with the wailing ambulances and 'clear the ways', and the vain efforts to reassemble some poor kid's head so that his or her parents can actually see them without throwing up need to be part of life's rich pattern for a lot of young people. Better yet, some brave soul needs to follow the wagon from the scene of the incident to the moment of calling, making a bodycam movie.

And ALL twelve-year-olds need to see it.
 
Perhaps these guns are just bad, no parental guidance, no value for life, no common sense... Or perhaps here just wayward guns, from a broken home or a single parent family, perhaps they've just never been properly loved and tended to...

See, I've parented my guns properly, they never even consider commuting random acts of offensive violence...

Parents, care for your arms so they don't become wayward...

sarcasm off... Because the media and the dems know it's the guns fault... Silly unintellectual mechanical devices they are...
