Hey son where did you get it and who do we give it back to? Problem solved.
So as not to multi-quote half (or more) of the thread, I will just pile on with: WTF is wrong with these parents? Pretty sure there would have at least been a phone call, even if my folks knew the other person, to verify with the other parents that their kid had permission to sell the gun.
99% chance the parents that called will be the ones screaming the loudest to prevent charges against their little angel.
I'd still have my boot up his ass for being so stupid. My kids will know better than to give the Libs that run the education camps a reason to ruin their lives.Quote:

But yes, it would have been far better to solve this without inviting The Man into it. And I bet most of the Sheriffs up there think the same thing--too much time wasted on stupidity.
dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb did i mention these people are DUMB
The article I read this morning quoted an official that claimed the students weren't "high functioning". I don't know if this meant they are the short-bus kids or if their actions merely pointed to stupid behavior. If it was the former it's almost more worrisome than if it were the latter. Although bringing guns to school may have occurred in a bygone era, we live in a time when this type of behavior isn't going to win little Johnny any extra credit points in class...especially a matter of days after a school shooting once again focuses national media attention on the matter.....not 'high functioning' indeed.
Stupid kids come from stupid parents...
"they brought a firearm and ammunition on school grounds to give one other, the Weld County Sheriff's Office said Tuesday"
Lot of possibilities here. Youngsters could have merely been trying different types of firearms so they know which to ask for as a Christmas gift. Was there actually a transfer being made? Parents are probably extremely strong DemoCRAPS and only had a firearm in their house because Grampa's old .22 was forgotten and left in the attic after he took the deep six. Possible!
