Totally agree. Completely mind boggling and totally negligent that she would not take extreme care to keep these weapons out of his hands if this is the case. This tragedy should have been totally preventable.Quote:

Sounds to me like she made some bad decisions in her parenting and firearms safety.
It hasn't been reported where the guns were at. It is possible she had them secured but maybe he figured out the combo and never told her. Your kids know you better than you think. they are smarter with technology, they can work their way around or figure out passwords, they can guess dates you might use for your combo. you never know. I'll hold judgement on her storage practices until the details emerge.
Remove firing pin, he would not know until he pulled the trigger.Quote:

Yeah, and the ACLU and their BS is among those to thank for that...Quote:

Or did he actually look like a 13 year old at 20?
Well, they wanted to show Trayvon as young and innocent so they used the old pictures. I don't think they want to paint Adam as innocent (frankly, the released pictures make him look like an obvious whacko to me) but they DO want to lay as much blame as possible on the guns rather than the individual.Quote:
