    I grew up in a super rural far right area. Yes, kids (boys and girls) learn to shoot and get guns at a young age to hunt with. There is a huge difference between a hunting rifle though, and an assault rifle. Also, if your kid is messed up and threatening to shoot up a school they shouldn't even get a BB gun.

Seems like they are starting to charge these parents now.....I dont remember exactly when it was but a mom & dad were charged and found guilty last year when their kid killed some people, I think in Chicago?!
    Right? My brother took his rifle to school for public speaking class. He gave a demonstration on how to break down and clean a weapon. He used hunt before/after school and left it in his locker. Very different times.

    Yes, I think you're talking about the Crumbley(sp?) case. Very similar situation to this one. I don't necessarily think parents should be held liable for everything their children do, they need life lessons too; but a responsible gun society would insist on consequences to gun owners who put weapons in the hands of mentally/emotionally disturbed children. It only seems logical to hold responsible the owner of the weapon, the one who purchased it/made it available (whether knowingly or thru negligence).

    As for this being a Christmas gift... it boggles my mind that a parent would do this. It's like handing a loaded gun to a toddler, this level of negligence is criminal.

    I don't know if you saw this but I was watching this on the news because he was suppose to plead guilty and the victims families all showed up and fucking creep backed out at the last minute because I think he's just fucking with the families. I also heard he gets a LOT of fan mail from girls.

    Also in theory, he could wait till February next year accept a plea a deal and refuse again which will have to reschedule his court date again for another court date.

    Mom of suspect in Georgia school shooting indicted and is accused of taping a parent to a chair

    The mother of a Georgia teenager charged with fatally shooting four people at his high school has been indicted in connection with an alleged domestic incident last year.

    The indictment handed down Monday charges Marcee Gray, 43, with exploiting an elderly person and other crimes in Ben Hill County, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported. It appears unrelated to the school shootings at Apalachee High School, which occurred in a different Georgia county nearly 200 miles (320 kilometers) away.
    The indictment charging Marcee Gray stems from a domestic incident late last year, the Atlanta newspaper reported. It said a police incident report states Gray's 74-year-old mother told authorities Nov. 4 that Gray had taken her phone, taped her to a chair and left her for nearly a full day.

    The incident report said Gray bound her mother before traveling to Barrow County to confront her ex-husband, who lived with their son and two other children. The Atlanta newspaper said records show Gray was arrested in Barrow County on Nov. 6, two days after her mother was found and was sentenced to 45 days in jail after pleading guilty to charges of criminal trespassing, using a license plate to disguise her car and causing property damage.

    Gray has said she called her son's high school the morning of the shootings to warn the staff after Colt Gray sent her a text message saying, “I'm sorry.” Days later, she issued a statement saying her son “is not a monster.”
    What a lovely family.

    Jury selection is set to begin Monday in the trial of a man whose teenage son is accused of killing two students and two teachers at a Georgia high school in September 2024.

    Colin Gray faces 29 counts, including two counts of second-degree murder, two counts of involuntary manslaughter and numerous counts of second-degree cruelty to children related to the shooting at Apalachee High School in Winder. He is one of a handful of parents around the country charged with crimes after their children are accused of committing acts of violence.

    An indictment says Gray committed cruelty to children by giving his son, Colt, access to a gun and ammunition “after receiving sufficient warning that Colt Gray would harm and endanger the bodily safety of another.” Second-degree murder, an unusual charge under Georgia law, is defined as causing the death of a child by committing the crime of cruelty to children.

    He gave his son a gun/ammunition after his son made threats against others in the past. He needs to be held accountable.

    Colin Gray was charged with two counts of murder in the second degree; two counts of involuntary manslaughter; five counts of reckless conduct; and 20 counts of cruelty to children in the second degree.

    A school shooter who killed two students and two teachers in Georgia has pleaded guilty to 55 counts.

    Colt Gray, 16, entered the plea Friday without having reached a deal with prosecutors. He had previously pleaded not guilty to charges in the Sept. 4, 2024, shooting at Apalachee High School that killed four people and left several others wounded about 45 miles (73 kilometers) northeast of Atlanta.

    Barrow County Superior Court Judge Nicholas Primm is now set to hear each side’s summary of the case, evidence and sentencing recommendation before deciding the sentence.

    I guess his legal team advised him pleading guilty (even without a plea deal) would be his best option.

    A teenager who shot four people dead in a rampage at his Georgia school was seen laughing Friday as a survivor read out her victim impact statement in court.

    Colt Gray, 16, grinned and smiled as Natalie Griffith recounted how the September 2024 attack had left her unable to use her left hand.
    She was among the nine people injured in the bloodbath at Apalachee High School, which claimed the lives of two of her classmates and two teachers.

    However, the speed at which Griffith rattled off the devastating impact of her injuries prompted laughter in the court, including from Gray, after the judge asked her to slow down.

    A judge sentenced Colin Gray to 15 years in prison Thursday, following emotional testimony from victims' families during his sentencing hearing in the Apalachee High School shooting case.

    Judge Primm imposed a 15-year prison sentence after ordering most of Gray's sentences on the various convictions to be served concurrently.

    "It is clear you failed as a parent," Primm said. "You didn't get him mental health counseling when it was obvious he needed some. None of those failures helped your case, but those aren't why you were convicted. You were convicted because the warning lights were flashing brighter and brighter and you didn't get him help."

    A teenage boy who carried out a mass shooting at his Georgia high school, killing two students and two teachers, was sentenced to life without parole, with the judge calling his actions "deliberate, contemplated evil."

    Colt Gray, 16, faced a sentence of life with or without parole after pleading guilty to all 55 counts against him, including murder and aggravated assault.

    Judge Nicholas Primm handed down the sentence on Tuesday in Barrow County.
    "You wrote, 'I want to make history. I want people to remember the pain I caused,' and there you succeeded," Primm said. "The pain that you visited upon this community is unlikely to disappear in my lifetime."

    The judge continued, "You do not seem to be tormented by what you did. You seem to relish following in the footsteps of the murderers you idolize, you aren't wracked with guilt. You're proud of yourself."

    Primm said Gray "studied and obsessed" over other mass shootings and was well aware of their outcomes in court -- life without parole.

    "The slain will not return to life, the injured will not forget their wounds, and a 16-year-old -- a 16-year-old boy -- will live and die in prison," Primm said.
