This one did hit close. Neighbor’s son goes there. Have other friends with cousins or grandkids that go there. The FBI dropped the ball last year when they turned info over to Jackson county sheriff. Kid should have been sent to detention school not put back in regular high school. The little POS killed an autistic child in a closet. So Ferris your niece works with the sheriffs sister in law?

I had my grandfather's semiautomatic .22 and a Ruger 10/22 by the time I was 14........other than the ammunition feeding them no different...... And a pump 20 ga that was used for skeet and doves......50+ years ago...... Never considered the sort of thing discussed here. So......is it the object used or the mind of the individual? Bonnie.....of Bonnie and Clyde was 19 when they met....... World is confusing.....and in a world of how many BILLIONS......and a nation of 330+ millions......that the tail end of the bell curve distribution raises its head now and again is to be expected. And that we have world where what was done in some little hamlet out in nowhere is news all over the place, a situation that did not attain not so long ago.......well......how to figure it all out and apply the implications towards some action? And, of even more import.....how do we be sure the actions we apply to something so truly statistically rare are not more detrimental to society in the long-term than doing something else.....or even nothing.....can't answer that one either. Did you ever play Doom, Grand Theft Auto, or Call of Duty as a kid? No, but I did " PLAY" cowboys and Indians and also war.

I'm not sure. She's on my SIL's side. I saw her at my brother's 80th birthday party a month or so back.

I don’t think it mattered what kind of firearm he had access to. The kid is a homicidal maniac. An “AR” didn’t make him do it. He could have done just as much with a semi-auto .22LR squirrel gun. I'm not sure he could have gotten a 22 long gun in. I heard/read, that he had taken the AR apart and brought it in in a duffel bag or backpack and then put it together once he got it in. I'm not sure if that's true, but it does make sense.

I grew up in Jackson County ... my high school girlfriend was from Winder ... which is in Barrow County
the gun culture is strong in that area ... living on the farm one of the things I enjoyed was target shooting ... I actually wore out a Winchester .22 ... I still have my .22 Colt Peacemaker
I mostly shot .22 because the ammo was more affordable ...
the area also has a long history of violence and lawlessness ...
I need to call back home and get their take on it.

Winder has changed a lot since you moved. Still vestiges of what you're talking about though.
The Billy Sunday Birt lifestyle has changed a bit.

It can take huge banana and drum magazines as well as come in a takedown model.

The Billy Sunday Birt lifestyle has changed a bit. save your ammo boys, the Dixie Mafia shall rise again ... those vestiges are a real nuisance at times ... I went to high school with Janice Mangum ... didn't really know her though ... but she knew me ... everybody in school knew me ... for some reason A 15-year-old Jackson County student was arrested Wednesday after investigators said the youth referred to the Apalachee High School shooting and pledged to “finish the job to shoot another school in Jackson County." Jackson County Sheriff Janis Mangum said Thursday that the threat was made on a school bus. She said there were witnesses to the threat and the teen was located and brought to the sheriff’s office for interviews. Afterward, the teenager was charged and was placed in the Regional Youth Detention Center in Gainesville, the same facility where the suspect in the Apalachee High shooting is incarcerated. That 14-year-old, Colt Gray, is charged with four counts of murder.

I said "changed a bit". It'll never go completely away.

Colin Gray, 54, was charged with four counts of involuntary manslaughter, two counts of second-degree murder and eight counts of cruelty to children, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation said. An investigation is underway to determine if the AR-style weapon was purchased by the boy's father and given to him as a gift, sources with knowledge of the investigation told CBS News. "These charges stem from Mr. Gray knowingly allowing his son Colt to possess a weapon," announced Chris Hosey, director of the Georgia Bureau of Investigations, at a Thursday evening news conference. www.yahoo.com/news/colin-gray-father-of-suspected-apalachee-high-school-shooter-charged-in-murders-fbi-received-warnings-in-2023-172418585.htmlTo own a gun in GA, does a child have to reach a certain age?

It can take huge banana and drum magazines as well as come in a takedown model. With a scope, upgraded trigger, and bull-barrel, this is/was the weapon of choice for the Israeli Army in the West Bank. They use it to maim the knees of any native with the temerity to complain about the Hebrew boot on their neck.

The ar made it more convenient... easier for a 14 yo...made it turn key, more alluring maybe, and certainly more deadly - no hunting sa or shotgun is gonna have that capacity without a little work and buying stuff... that a mental 14 yo probably did not have the means to undertake. It is reasonable to think that the 2nd can still stand tall with regulations that make our country safer from guns. ...about 40,000 people die from guns every year...thats 14 deaths per 100,000 people - in the entire EU gun deaths are below 1 per 100,000

I strongly disagree with that statement. I feel the only thing that keeps the whack jobs in DC at least a little restrained is the fact that there are 10's of millions that are well armed. If that wasn't the case they'd just shove their agenda down our throats.
