Mom Charged With Buying Pennsylvania Teen Weapons

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for the right to bear arms. I myself have shot guns since I was 8, but never had free reign over them. From what I see in the picture that came out of this boys room. :shock: ...that's a little excessive to be only "bearing arms" for your safety.

 

You do know that most of those guns (all but three) were BB guns, right?

 

I'm all for the right to bear arms too! I just wish parents would supervise kids with ANY kind of gun. Especially the ones in my neighborhood whose kid(s) have been shooting at my house with a pellet gun:evil: I've got two broken house windows.:evil: :evil:
Jeeeeshhh! Come outside and see what your kids are up to already!
:roll: :evil:

 

But they sure made some good news photos didn't they!

I wonder how our founding fathers would feel about police and military having fully automatic weapons, while the general population is limited to only semi-automatic?

 

Yep, as most of you know my Daddy retired military. We also lived on a farm, so we used weapons. I was probably around 6 when my Dad started educating me about all of his guns. He actually gave me his .22 at age 8 and taught me to shoot, clean, etc. I had to wait until about 12 before he taught me to break down and use some of his more powerful guns like 357, double barrel shotgun, etc. I think him teaching me the proper way to shot, handle, clean guns has always made me have a healthy respect for them and the damage they could cause if used in the wrong way.

 

Doesn't anyone think that is way to many guns for a kid to own. I know most of them are BB guns but still. What kid needs that many. Talk about overkill.

 

Talk about a collector.

 

No I am a collector that is over kill

 

Take a look at the picture...



How many duplicates do you see? It sure does look more like a collection than an armory.

 

Clif,
That picture looks like an armory to me. I mean come on...I have a collection of ticket stubs, albums, posters but that picture means violence to me. Until my daughter was fourteen she was not allowed in anyone's house who we know owned a gun.

I cannot get my daughter to clean up the clothes on her floor in the bedroom can one imagine walking into something like that in your kid's bedroom? I believe in privacy and give my daughter hers but I would certainly know if she had an arsenal in her room. Bullets, no bullets, something's wrong!

I do not know much about guns and am not an expert all I know is that is way to many. Whether they shoot bullets or BB they are dangerous. Not the gun itself but the user. For a child that age to collect so many is crazy. And so you do not waste your breath or key strokes and this thread does not get out of hand, "everyone is entitled to their opinion." My brother is a cop and I know what guns can do when in the wrong hands. Him being a cop may be my reason why I feel so strongly.

 

Does having those ticket stubs, albums, and posters mean you're a rock star? I had a friend who collected matchbooks. At one time, he had over twenty thousand of them. Does that make him a pyromaniac?

Odd, considering your handle's name sake has been known to whip out a 30-06 and take pot shots at government people who tresspassed on her property.

So, because your daughter is a slob (bless her heart), you presume that this kid just had all those BB guns lying around his room?

 

Except, apparently, me.

 

No Clif you are and I respect you for it and your standing by it. People just love to argue with you, you make it challenging.

 

I guess the Airsoft guns I just bought my son would be part of that group of guns. They both look like assualt rifles. :roll:

 

Same here. My grandpa taught me how too shoot a shotgun when I was 5 or 6 . I now have guns that are locked up of course. Guns don't kill people....People kill people. I could not imagine shooting another person BUT, if they came in my house to harm my child or myself they may walk in but will be carried out in a bag. My child knows not to go any where near one. When shes older she will learn about guns also. I do believe in locking guns up ( mine are locked up in a gun cabinet seperate from the bullets and are in my closet thats locked too. I figure if any one gets threw my alarm and then by my dog they deserve to be shot.

 

WOW! HG likey (not for children, for ME) :twisted:

 

He was on his way to creating complete chaos perhaps he just had not connected all the dots quite yet. No kid should be armed as heavily as the Colombian drug cartel.

 

And you base this piece of insight on...???
