Washington Gun seizure team works to stop next school shooting

[American123]

The kid didn't just draw a cartoon. Toward the end of the article it said he also talked about pulling a fire alarm and shooting students. And buying guns from craigs list. That's remarkably vague. Did he actually threaten to shoot people? If so why isn't he at the least expelled from school? On the other hand, maybe he only said "Someone could...etc." that could be a sneakier version of a threat or could be a casual comment.

The fact that the kid spoke about buying guns from Craigs List suggests that he didn't have access to his dad's guns, as well as had never tried to buy guns very hard. Not hard enough to find out Craigs List doesn't sell guns.

The kid may well have said things serious enough to get expelled over or have his own guns confiscated. Reporter did not see fit to report thoroughly enough to tell.

But as for the state having any justification for seizing the guns of the kid's father, that's clearly wrong. If you can seize the father's guns just because you think the kid might have access to them, you could just as legitimately seize the guns of all the kid's relatives, friends, relatives of friends, and neighbors.

Better take all privately owned firearms in the US, just to be safe, for the children, if it saves just one life, it's common sense....

Right, we should ban anything "if it would save just one life..." even if it might cost even more other lives or profoundly change our society. But why stop with guns?

Banning all cars would save at least one life. Banning all airplanes would save at least one life. Banning horses would save at least one life. Banning walking and running would save at least one life since people sometimes slip and hit their heads and die. People sometimes die in burning buildings, so banning all buildings would save at least one life. And reduce us to living in caves. Whoops, sometimes people die from caves caving in. No caves either.

Tools. What about tools? Every tool from pounding rocks and stone knives to lawn mowers and machine tools has doubtless been associated with accidents or violence that costed a life. So no tools. No farming. You can't farm without tools. No clothes. You can't make clothes without tools. Hunting? Not for anything requiring a tool or weapon. So maybe for bugs and grubs. Fishing? Well...if you can catch it with your hands. But wait. People sometimes drown, even in water just a few inches deep. So banning fishing would clearly be needed, since doing so would save at least one life.

Where are we? Running around naked and homeless hunting for bugs and grubs and gathering fruit and wild vegetables and eating them on the spot, and complaining about not having homes, cars, clothes, and tools. (No root veggies; they take digging sticks. No carrying baskets, so no carrying the fruit back to the home you don't have.)

Complaining? With what? Words have often contributed to human death through everything from trickery to warfare. So banning human language would clearly save at least one life. No language.

Some people undoubtedly die from eating the wrong bugs, grubs, fruits, and vegetables. So we better ban those too. And where would we hunt for them anyway? People are sometimes killed in forests, plains, deserts, and every other environment--probably especially naked people running around with no weapons or tools. So going all those places must be banned.

Oops. Forgot that we can't be running around in any of these banned places anyway. We already banned running.

I'm way ahead of you, ban living, because you can't die if you didn't live

Seems to me that Minority Report was Science FICTION - what a bunch of malarkey. Stupid kids don't realize that the crap they post on the internet is there "forever" because someone always takes a screen shot for posterity.

BUT if I were the father, I would just tell the LEOs: he's not getting my firearms - take my kid instead until his 18th birthday....bet they wouldn't have seen that one coming
