After all is said and done, the remedy is clear. We need a lot more guns in the hands of everybody. If all their neighbors had guns, they could have come over there and shot that brother before he could have shot his sister.
That might be the 15 y/o's defense. He was acting to keep his brother from killing others.
You also didn't read anything I posted, did you (as usual). They were illegal guns, in the hands of under-aged felons (assuming they did break into cars).
What is YOUR thought on how to correct this problem. And making guns illegal is a stupid idea, BTW. No one with any sense at all thinks that can happen.
I still think that if we put an age limit on buying guns, not allow people with criminal felony or domestic violence convictions, or drug abusers buy them, that would be one way. The other is to make murder illegal.
That should give you a start. And since you and indy are the biggest whiners about this, maybe you can come up with something together,
The schools knew these two were bad to begin with, the justice system allowed them to continue without repercussions. My guess is the Tampa cops knew them by name and face.
In a thread last month I mentioned that a major source of stolen guns are parked cars. I suggested that there should be some sort of electronic, air tag-like solution to prevent people from leaving guns in their cars. Also the parent(s) of these brothers should be prosecuted.
