Another new law should be a place on the receipt that you have to sign saying you’re not letting a child have access to the weapon. So when the child gets in trouble for using it the parent has already signed their responsibility. Therefor, serve time too!
As far as I am concerned if the FBI comes to someone's house and tells them that their kid is making threats. The household should be banned from owning guns until the situation is remediated!
The issue isnt about taking everyone else's guns away that have the legal right to have them...I don't understand how this parent thought it was a good idea to give a 14 yr old kid an assault rifle. I don't think anyone is saying that they are going to take everyone's guns away. That doesn't solve anything and just makes people pissed off. But to make it easy for a 14 year old kid to BUY a gun before they can even get a permit to drive or much less be able to vote as someone else said is complete utter insanity!!!!!
can we at least agree that a father who presents a 14-year old son an assault rifle after (!) the FBI had a little conversation with him about his son's violent tendencies should be held responsible? Let's stop pretending there is a slippery slope in this situation. And Vance can shut up too with his "let's just do absolutely nothing".
It a very simple question, should the right to own a fire arm supersede another's right to live free of gun violence ? And here's another, why do we allow assault weapons to be used by civilians? Weapons of war in the hands of even children? I know why MAGAS are against gun reform, they know they can't win, they've been cheating for decades and now they are threatening with civil war.
That lady who spoke at the end was on the money: You can't vote, you can't drive, you can't drink alcohol - but you can have a weapon of war as a Christmas present! 😮
Especially in this case. To buy a 14 year old, let alone one who was suspected of threats, an AR 15 is insanity. There is a big difference between parents who are struggling and begging, searching, seeking help for troubled kids, and remove weapons from the home than an idiot who buys their child an assault weapon.
As an Australian, I am just gobsmacked that there is even a debate about reducing access to weapons, especially assault type weapons. What is wrong with Americans, the ‘right’ to have weapons overrides people’s right, in this and many cases children’s right, to not be murdered? Just staggering.
@@HAL9000_AU an AR-15 is a big pistol not even close to an assault rifle. 99 percent of Americans can't own assault rifles they are extremely hard to get and it's a big process
@@NickMilky You cannot be serious, it’s a semi automatic weapon. Seems like a lot of mass shooters use this weapon, wonder why. Can’t be too hard to get one.
@@HAL9000_AU a pistols a semi automatic weapon as well. An assault rifle is a full auto rifle which are hard to get in America and requires a big process to buy that most Americans can't even get def not a kid, nor can u buy one for a kid in America. Assault rifles are used in gang violence not school shootings and those are stolen guns. A country that's had guns since it's beginning yet is relatively new to school shootings should show you guns aren't the problem. We have a government that focuses on the world more than our own and we're left to suffer with financial instabilities, depression and mental health by ourselves because our government decides to spend billions overseas instead of on us. I own guns and even in an argument and a fist fight I put my gun away. Never thought or wanted to use it on someone else and it's the way most gun owners in America feels(but we will). We have more guns than people in this country if we had a gun problem our murder rate would be a hell of a lot higher.
@@HAL9000_AU by the way 98 percent of this countries gun violence is gang violence committed by two races, but when one of them do it, it's not a gun problem it's justified instead.
Can someone please tell me why on earth assault weapons are even available for NON-military citizens to buy? I realise the love for guns is an American thing - I’m Canadian btw - but why ASSAULT weapons?
Can we please get over schools having to be responsible for everything? It's intended to be a place for education. Yet teachers are already responsible for making sure kids aren't hungry, not abused or injured, not having interpersonal problems with family or friends, not having mental health problems, not having learning disabilities impact their schoolwork, not distracted by phones or lack of suitable clothing on others. God forbid teachers should have to also attend to the detective work of which kids are armed and dangerous before we can get to the job we're really trained for and want so much to do: provide our students with a world class education.
Thank you for your comment, teachers are not the parents and yet are expected to do everything and still the public calls for more and more and less and less from the parents. Today parents shoulder so little of the responsibility for their children they honestly look to schools to do everything while simultaneously stripping the resources of the very institutions that were designed to educate and not facilitate health care management, behavioral health, homelessness, food shortages, providing schools supplies and then to top it all off teachers and staff members are punching bags for everyone who then says "Well, teachers don't really do their jobs anyway but always want more money". What other profession makes these types of expectations and don't provide the necessary resources? Doctors get specialized training and a large salary. Therapists get specialized training and a large salary. Retail stores make millions on supplies and pay little taxes and yet the least of theses, teachers, are asked to do all of the above and not so much as a public thank you and people question why no one wants to stay or enter the profession. 😢
Schools spend more time with kids than parents get to in most cases. I think schools are responsible for the children in their care in all those ways and then some.
You're damn right the father should be held responsible. My two grandbabies are crying again because they had to have a your life is in danger alert at school😢
The first time that I shot a gun was at age 6. It was a Ruger Mk 2 .22 caliber semiautomatic pistol. I grew up with guns. My father didn’t have a gun safe, he had a gun room. He had a collection that was close to 200 firearms. There were a couple of AR-15s in the collection as well. I also had to qualify with various firearms when I was in the military. With all that exposure to firearms I’ve never had the urge to shoot anyone. I don’t know where you live but there are parts of this country that are extremely rural. Kids under the age of 18 go out hunting on their own. Guns are also used for pest control. Some of those pests are hogs and coyotes. A center fire cartridge is required for those types of animals. Kids under 18 years of age are expected to help out around the farm or ranch and part of that includes shooting hogs and coyotes. So yeah, kids under 18 do have reasons to be carrying guns and using them. It’s just how it is.
@@ssmt2yeah but if you ban guns tomorrow it will be rough at first but you will see the gun murder death numbers drop soon enough. Won't that be worth giving up your guns to kill your pests etc? I think you will take care of yourself just fine. That's just an example. The point is that people have been surviving in the wilderness, nevermind rural areas, for thousands of years without guns and we have way too many school shootings and incidents of gun violence in general.
Military assault weapons should NOT be in homes. Military assault weapons are for military, on the war ground. I suppose considering the American constitution Americans have the right to have guns in their homes, but responsibility lies with the Adults, lock up the guns. Kamala Harris wants to amend the laws so that anyone purchasing a firearm must have a background check, maybe a medical to ensure the person is mentally stable to be responsible for a firearm. Assault weapons have no business being in suburban neighborhoods. Good grief how many more children are going to be killed before the sensible adults make sensible laws.
Over 3000 kids died from gun violence in America already this year! That’s just INSANE!! Gun violence is the leading cause of DEATH in children in the United States of America!! WTF is wrong with the United States of America that so many children are being KILLED?
There's no such thing as an assault weapon. There are rifles and handguns. Sometimes referred to as a long gun and a sidearm. Assault weapon is a made-up term made to scare people like you. Firearms specifically in the United States in regards to the second amendment are specifically design for citizen use. The Constitution and more specifically the Bill of Rights was made to put restrictions on the government not the people. Lastly, criminals do not follow laws. Just let that sink in. #ADOS
Interesting how JD Vance supports his argument about gun control by comparing the different approach to gun laws in different regions of America. However, he ignores how little gun violence there is in other *countries* with strict gun laws. Australia actually addressed mass shootings by essentially banning large numbers of rapid-fire guns and instituting other major restrictions in 1996. They have had only one mass shooting event since. If there is no significant difference between gun violence state-to-state in America, this implies (to me) that the problem lies in American culture.
I didn't even buy my son play guns. Kids don't need guns in their lives. They need sports and art and music and fat dinners and hydration and the occasional nap. That's the problem with this country....parents treating their kids like peers. Guns are grown folks business.
@ssmt2 don't be an ass. I'm from Wyoming originally where I'm like one of 3 people who DOESN'T own a gun. The other 2 are dead. I lived in Phoenix and now upstate New York. Kids are kids everywhere and no kid needs to play with a gun or play shooting games. I'm from literally the Wild West and I don't do guns for kids, bro.
@@kristawelch3821 If you grew up in Wyoming then you know that under 18 year olds use guns for hunting, target shooting, pest control, etc. on a regular basis. That’s just life in a rural area. You raised your children without letting them use firearms. I don’t have any issues with that. The problem that I have is that most of the people commenting here can’t understand why any teenager would be allowed to use a gun. They think that being raised in a city or suburb is the same as being raised in a rural area. It’s just not the same. There are a lot of kids raised on a farm that are operating tractors and combines at an early age. They also learn to use firearms at an early age. Millions of young people have learned how to shoot firearms throughout our country’s history. Millions of them have also never used them to shoot up a school. The point that I want to make is that doing an across the board ban of under 18 year olds using firearms will not work. Nor will trying to pass a nationwide ban on the ownership of AR type firearms. They’re just to ubiquitous in America at this point. The political situation won’t allow for it. There are some things that should be done. universal background checks and red flag laws come to mind. IMO improving access to mental healthcare would also help with the problem. We just have to be realistic about what can get done right now vs. what will not happen any time soon.
I got a rifle for my 16th birthday. I bought a rifle from a friend on our school bus. I got off at my house with it and nobody freaked out. This was before social media made everyone retarded.
"The advocacy group Everytown for Gun Safety ranks Georgia 46th nationally for what they call some of the "weakest gun laws in the country....Gun owners in Georgia are also not legally required to lock up or otherwise securely store firearms away from children....Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp has a significant track record of supporting pro-gun legislation. In 2022, he signed a bill into a law that made it legal for gun owners in the state to carry a concealed weapon in public without first obtaining a license. In April 2021, in response to anti-gun violence nonprofit Giffords Law Center giving Georgia an "F" for its gun laws, Kemp said he was proud of the failing grade....I'll wear this 'F' as a badge of honor," Kemp wrote in a post on X. "Our 2nd Amendment is sacred, and I'll never back down from defending Georgians' constitutional rights." Thanks to Georgia's GOV. BRIAN KEMP his state did not do everything they could have to prevent a disturb kid like this 14 year old to do what he did! After the FBI sounded the alarm, local authorities didn't have enough evidence to prevent this kid from doing what he did. the kid comes from a broken home and his dad had the guns available to a disturbed teenage kid because Georgia doesn't have common sense gun control laws...if you have the face to support pro life laws then you should also have the back bone to support common sense gun control laws. babies grow up and go to school to possibly be killed by a disturbed someone?

Your country is a mess in context gun violence. Just compare the death rate related to gun violence in different developped countries. You also are responsible for such tragedies with your hardcore attitude contributing to the political feasibility. Be aware of that. With love from Europe 💙
@@NickMilky That are different points to which I agree. But there are various reasons for the danger of war and for the violence by extremists from the right, left, religions, and so on. But the problem of gun violence in America in my opinion is homemade and I am glad that we have strict gun control and only people with a registered licence are legally allowed to own weapons. Our kids can feel safer in school and in public.
@@inessabanovic8491 People are allowed to have guns. Some people abuse that right. Therefore take all guns away from everyone. People are allowed to consume alcohol, people are allowed to drive(not at the same time). Some people abuse that right. Therefore take all cars and alcohol away from everyone.
Although mental health is an issue for many, make no mistake, this young man still made a choice. Could his mental health make his bad choices 10 times worse? Sure. But he still made a decision out of his dark heart and mind. Be well and be at peace.
If the child was disturbed and you had the gun in the house in a safe that they broke into...which would be impressive if you have ever seen a gun safe...then perhaps just negligence because the father didn't NEED that gun. Also he could lock up ammo in a different place. OR store it at a gun club or shooting range or with another gun owner without a disturbed child in the home. Years ago a buddy of mine once took a shotgun from a friend because his friend had discussed self harm and being depressed. He locked it up in his gun safe and told his friend that once he got some help and was in a better mental state then he would give it back. His friend went along with it and it helped to push him to get the help he needed because my buddy had shown him how serious it was. If a friend can do that for another adult why couldn't a father do that for a son...who is 14... instead he did the opposite, that is criminal.
@@Speedyreedy1218 Breaking into a gun safe is a hard thing to do...unless they got access to the combination or 'finger print' it they have that kind of access...But, most people idea of storing a firearm is to keep it in a closet or in a bedside drawer or up on a shelf...not a great place to store a firearm....Responsiblity...where does it lie...with the person who purchases it.
@@carolynturk-hu7je What are you talking about...? I said if the parent bought the gun, and put the gun in the house, then the parent is responsible for what has happened. If you are going to have a gun in the home with minor children (under 18), it needs to be locked away...
In this particular instance, this father was not only negligent, but showed reckless disregard. The police told this father about his son making threats about a school shooting. The father lied to the investigators telling them that his son could not access loaded guns without supervision. Then instead of taking his son to see a mental health professional, he bought him an AR-15 style rifle for Christmas.
Going by JD Vance's philosophy the shooter's father should be getting more votes because he has a kid and apparently has more stake in the future of your country.
As soon as you Americans start your customary banter about "the rights of responsible gun owners" (and AR-15 owners at that) I realize you're never going to solve this problem. Where I live, it's not normal to own and be preoccupied with guns and if we hear of someone who does, it raises red flags to those who know them. You can nitpick about the specifics of each shooting all you want, but it's your gun culture and normalization of gun ownership that's making you the only country that routinely faces this problem.
I agree as well. But here is the comment I made on the video.... "I thought locking parents up would make a difference. But kids are not pets or monkeys. They are humans. A 14 year old distrubed smart kid is capable of being deceptive. he was 4 years from becoming a adult. They can find their parents key, they can figure their parents safe code off youtube. Kids can be natural thiefs and hackers. I think a parent should be held accountable, but It comes down to the context of the crime and how the child got the weapon in the first place. If a parent can prove without reasonable doubt that they kept their weapons away from their child, then they should not be convicted. But if the kid gets their gun out of a damn shoe box under the bed, then yeah the parent should be held accountable."
When I heard a student being interviewed who stated that the police asked him to drop the weapon, I KNEW. When they reported that the shooter was arrested (not killed), I KNEW. When I heard that the police had interviewed him last year and nothing happened, I KNEW. There was a systematic and familiar failure that contributed to this tragedy.
So he is in favor of locking up legal gun owners whose children commit crimes with their guns. But not the parents of the kids in the inner cities where most of the shootings occur in this country and illegal guns are being used. How does that make sense?
Black parents in the inner city aren’t buying their Schizophrenic children guns as rewards for cleaning their room. Shermichael is 2nd Amendment gun nutt.
The parent didnt say he was pissed off about the shooting. He was pissed off that the cop was at his door accusing his kid who he claimed was innocent. Listen to the tapes.
There is no slippery slope, whatever the fuck that really means. If you gave your child booze and the keys to the car and told them to have fun. Guess what, you'd be responsible for the mess your kid made.
No minor should be gifted a gun! It’s honestly out of control in this country & sad. 😡 The parents should be held accountable in this case, the father! I agree with Ashley tonight who’s very intelligent! These AR weapons need to be banned! The only way to do this is for Dems to take back the House & Senate! This type of ban should have never expired, but unfortunately that’s how it works & Rep’s are ruining this country! We need stricter gun laws! 😒
Children of any age don't need to have guns. Parents need to teach their children not to point a gun including a toy gun unless at a person or object unless you want to destroy that person or object. That is what my parents taught me about guns. Why give a child an assault style weapon? Yes, absolutely the father is just as guilty as if he pulled that trigger himself.
WHY PUT A WEAPON IN A CHILDS HANDS PERIOD??? HE'S 14 NOT 21😤 THIS WAS SOOOOOOOO IRRESPONSIBLE ON THE DADS BEHALF‼🤦🏾♀ 😔RIP to the victims 🕊💐And PRAYERS 🙏🏽 for their families
In this case the father is culpable... the fbi interviewed you and your demon son last year because of threats made against the school and you go and buy him a long gun... what a genius now go to jail
Okay when I was coming up if I threw a rock at street light ,my mom would have had to pay it was broken. If more parents are held accountable for there kids actions, it would stop so much crimes.
All Parents must be held to account for the Behavior of Wayward children under their care. Having guns is Not the issues. Letting your unbalanced and underdeveloped children ACCESS to commit Either Accidents or Crimes Must have Consequences!
Take the weapon of choice out of the equation. Whether it’s an AR-15, a machete, or if he wanted to mow down his classmates and teachers with a car, Its one thing if you report concerns about your child’s behavior to the authorities and they don’t act on it, it’s quite another if the authorities come to you about your child’s behavior and you not only don’t addressed it, but enable him to carry out the crime. You as a parent are complicit.
What a home wants with an AR gun? If a house has children and and gun, the children not even to know that there is gun in the house until they the children are mature enough. 25 and over
Reading the comments here I get the feeling that most of the comments are from people that have only lived in cities and suburbs. There’s a huge difference in life styles between living in a city, the suburbs, and a rural area. I’ve lived in all three. Most people in America have never lived in a rural area. Where I live right now has a higher density of cattle per square mile than people. If there are any issues on my property I expect the fastest response time from LEO to be, at the very best, 15 minutes. That’s the quickest that i think that they’ll get here. In the meantime I want to be armed well enough to at least have a fighting chance. That is why I own an AR type firearm with high capacity magazines. 25 and over?? Really? You’re painting with a pretty broad brush. I grew up with firearms in the house. I was under 25 when I went in to the military and had to qualify with various types of weapons. I’ve never had the urge to shoot anyone.
Hello, I am a Girl Dad of four adult amazing daughters and also a United States Marine Corps Veteran. This is easy, I have the sole responsibility of keeping my daughters protected and safe, my adult daughters are all gun owners, were taught by me the protection and safety of their weapons and I explained to them that assault weapons need to be permanently banned because they are used only for killing mass amounts of people during wars period!!! I never had guns or assault weapons in my home raising my daughter's Birth-18yrs old and parents should be held accountable if their children get access to their weapons. For adult humans to think that it is okay for any child to have an assault weapon is beyond processing!!!
If you live in Georgia, there are no red flag laws or requirements to have guns under control. You all might want to look to your legislators in Georgia.
These people HAVE to stop interrupting eachother. It's annoying, nobody can finish a point, they're all yelling over eachother. have a conversation like grownups people
Extremely myopic viewpoint from Jemele. You are basically saying parent's shouldn't be held responsible for their childs actions. We need to continue to charge these parents that have had warning signs their kids was gonna kill people and ignore them to the point of buying them a firearm. That is unacceptable and I am 100% sure that Jemele would have a different view if one of her family members was in the school.
A 14-year-old boy will be charged with murder after four people were killed and nine injured in a shooting at a Georgia high school. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation said two pupils and two teachers died in Wednesday's attack at Apalachee High School in Winder, Barrow County. Colt Gray, a student at the school, was arrested by two officers on campus, an official said. He will be tried as an adult. It has emerged that the FBI interviewed him last year after receiving anonymous tips about online threats to commit a school shooting, but agents did not arrest him at the time. Officers first received reports of a shooting at the school of around 1,900 pupils at around 10:20 local time (14:20 GMT).
From Germany. We don´t have many people owning guns. Hunters and sportshooters are armed, and of course police and army people. We have very strict laws concerning how to deal with weaponsmif they are not in use and of course when in use. As a mother of four boys , my kids all had knifes with a "standing" blade, when they were quite young 6 years onwards.This might sound silly to you, but the first thing we (parents) did was showing them how to use it propperly, respectfully, trustworthy. We talked about what can be done and what one shouldn´t do, like running around. We both were convinced by discussions and talks,that our kids took our instructions seriously, that they understood the responsibility , that is included in being "weaponized ". But still several minor accidents did happen throughout the years , we were lucky! I would deal the same way , but guns ? Seriously? Not for me , not for my kids, I´m not in a war zone, I´m not in a dangerous surrounding with dangerous people. I´m no shooter or hunter , so why should I have a gun?
@@Kg-yl5vy Depends what news you listen to. You are right I have the luck to live in first: ex-westernGermany and second I live in a farming aerea where everybody knows each other,but still live very quite far from each other.

In 2023 there were 333 school shootings world wide. In the same year, 284 of these happened in America. It is more than mental health. Parental responsibility. Perhaps we can look at the whole picture.
Honestly, and I pray this doesn't happen, but I find it hard to see any change in this issue unless this happens to a media station or political office as often as it happens to school. It's been decades of consistent loss and quickly forgotten promises. Unless the problem is right in their faces, the powers at be aren't doing enough to stop it.
So if a parent gave a 14 year old child a set of car keys (knowing that it was below the age to have it) and that child gets behind the wheel and kills someone - wouldn’t the parent be responsible? The entitlement and selfishness of people to value THEIR desire to own something rather than the betterment of all is so disappointing. It’s costing lives.
Close schools there just places in cases with thousands of students who are housed together 5 days a week. Technology allows new non institutional schooling for most kids. Todays large schools are much like prisons and baby sitting centers .

THIS IS PROOF that trumps 4 years intentionally caused so much chaos that we can no longer focus on teh real things that matter. WE should not be focused on democracy ...that should not be a thing in america...but it is because of trump!!!

And they take the young kids out to the Shooting Range for target practice. This looks like someone, somewhere, is preparing for War and the Children are being Sacrificed.
I think they did but they couldn't find anything to make it 'stick'. Wondering if when he transferred to the new school if the new school was informed of his history

There is a big difference between parents who are struggling and begging, searching, seeking help for troubled kids, and remove weapons from the home than an idiot who buys their child an assault weapon.
He has to keep dancing for that check
Could it be that the reason this boy had mental health issues is that he was raised by a father who thinks assault weapons are a good idea?
Thank you. He sounds like a maga idiot
As an Australian, I am just gobsmacked that there is even a debate about reducing access to weapons, especially assault type weapons. What is wrong with Americans, the ‘right’ to have weapons overrides people’s right, in this and many cases children’s right, to not be murdered? Just staggering.
Yes, and we’re supposed to be an “advanced country”. It’s another disgrace brought upon us by the Republican Party.
@@HAL9000_AU an AR-15 is a big pistol not even close to an assault rifle. 99 percent of Americans can't own assault rifles they are extremely hard to get and it's a big process
@@NickMilky You cannot be serious, it’s a semi automatic weapon. Seems like a lot of mass shooters use this weapon, wonder why. Can’t be too hard to get one.
@@HAL9000_AU a pistols a semi automatic weapon as well. An assault rifle is a full auto rifle which are hard to get in America and requires a big process to buy that most Americans can't even get def not a kid, nor can u buy one for a kid in America. Assault rifles are used in gang violence not school shootings and those are stolen guns. A country that's had guns since it's beginning yet is relatively new to school shootings should show you guns aren't the problem. We have a government that focuses on the world more than our own and we're left to suffer with financial instabilities, depression and mental health by ourselves because our government decides to spend billions overseas instead of on us. I own guns and even in an argument and a fist fight I put my gun away. Never thought or wanted to use it on someone else and it's the way most gun owners in America feels(but we will). We have more guns than people in this country if we had a gun problem our murder rate would be a hell of a lot higher.
@@HAL9000_AU by the way 98 percent of this countries gun violence is gang violence committed by two races, but when one of them do it, it's not a gun problem it's justified instead.
If a 14 -old can’t buy cigarettes nor gun why would you give a kid a gun for a present! total, idiot savant! Yes he must be held accountable!

Power and control.

Because they believe 2A gives them cart blanche to own ANY TYPE of firearm their twisted hearts desire. 🙄🤦♀️ I hate it here...
Because multiple attackers require multiple bullets.

Jemele and Shemichael are Republican tools. Meanwhile the Black community has more gun deaths than ever.
They are shills for the NRA and gun manufacturers 💙💙💙
Like y'all frying about school shootings but not the 98 percent of gun violence coming from only two races
@@NickMilky Exactly. And the vast majority of shootings- and violent crime- comes from men.
Can we please get over schools having to be responsible for everything? It's intended to be a place for education. Yet teachers are already responsible for making sure kids aren't hungry, not abused or injured, not having interpersonal problems with family or friends, not having mental health problems, not having learning disabilities impact their schoolwork, not distracted by phones or lack of suitable clothing on others. God forbid teachers should have to also attend to the detective work of which kids are armed and dangerous before we can get to the job we're really trained for and want so much to do: provide our students with a world class education.
!!!!!👆🏼👆🏼👆🏼👆🏼!!!!!
100% Agree!
Thank you for your comment, teachers are not the parents and yet are expected to do everything and still the public calls for more and more and less and less from the parents. Today parents shoulder so little of the responsibility for their children they honestly look to schools to do everything while simultaneously stripping the resources of the very institutions that were designed to educate and not facilitate health care management, behavioral health, homelessness, food shortages, providing schools supplies and then to top it all off teachers and staff members are punching bags for everyone who then says "Well, teachers don't really do their jobs anyway but always want more money". What other profession makes these types of expectations and don't provide the necessary resources? Doctors get specialized training and a large salary. Therapists get specialized training and a large salary. Retail stores make millions on supplies and pay little taxes and yet the least of theses, teachers, are asked to do all of the above and not so much as a public thank you and people question why no one wants to stay or enter the profession. 😢
Schools spend more time with kids than parents get to in most cases. I think schools are responsible for the children in their care in all those ways and then some.
@@lolz-f6cwhy don’t people just have the kids and then give them to the teachers to take care of since the kids spend more time with the teachers?
You're damn right the father should be held responsible. My two grandbabies are crying again because they had to have a your life is in danger alert at school😢
Kids under 18 have no reason to be shooting or carrying guns. Parents that allow them to should be held accountable if things go off the rails.
The first time that I shot a gun was at age 6. It was a Ruger Mk 2 .22 caliber semiautomatic pistol. I grew up with guns. My father didn’t have a gun safe, he had a gun room. He had a collection that was close to 200 firearms. There were a couple of AR-15s in the collection as well. I also had to qualify with various firearms when I was in the military. With all that exposure to firearms I’ve never had the urge to shoot anyone.
I don’t know where you live but there are parts of this country that are extremely rural. Kids under the age of 18 go out hunting on their own. Guns are also used for pest control. Some of those pests are hogs and coyotes. A center fire cartridge is required for those types of animals. Kids under 18 years of age are expected to help out around the farm or ranch and part of that includes shooting hogs and coyotes. So yeah, kids under 18 do have reasons to be carrying guns and using them. It’s just how it is.
@@ssmt2yeah but if you ban guns tomorrow it will be rough at first but you will see the gun murder death numbers drop soon enough. Won't that be worth giving up your guns to kill your pests etc? I think you will take care of yourself just fine. That's just an example. The point is that people have been surviving in the wilderness, nevermind rural areas, for thousands of years without guns and we have way too many school shootings and incidents of gun violence in general.
Bullying is a reason for shooting or carrying a gun
@@scaboi that's probably Colt's father's sentiments...
Military assault weapons should NOT be in homes. Military assault weapons are for military, on the war ground.
I suppose considering the American constitution Americans have the right to have guns in their homes, but responsibility lies with the Adults, lock up the guns.
Kamala Harris wants to amend the laws so that anyone purchasing a firearm must have a background check, maybe a medical to ensure the person is mentally stable to be responsible for a firearm.
Assault weapons have no business being in suburban neighborhoods. Good grief how many more children are going to be killed before the sensible adults make sensible laws.
Was the kid using an M4 or M16? An M2? In the Marines, we never used an AR-15.
Over 3000 kids died from gun violence in America already this year! That’s just INSANE!!
Gun violence is the leading cause of DEATH in children in the United States of America!!
WTF is wrong with the United States of America that so many children are being KILLED?
There's no such thing as an assault weapon. There are rifles and handguns. Sometimes referred to as a long gun and a sidearm. Assault weapon is a made-up term made to scare people like you. Firearms specifically in the United States in regards to the second amendment are specifically design for citizen use. The Constitution and more specifically the Bill of Rights was made to put restrictions on the government not the people. Lastly, criminals do not follow laws. Just let that sink in. #ADOS
Define an assault weapon.
It’s not a military weapon quit saying that it was not using the military and it’s still not being used in military get it right
Interesting how JD Vance supports his argument about gun control by comparing the different approach to gun laws in different regions of America. However, he ignores how little gun violence there is in other *countries* with strict gun laws. Australia actually addressed mass shootings by essentially banning large numbers of rapid-fire guns and instituting other major restrictions in 1996. They have had only one mass shooting event since.
If there is no significant difference between gun violence state-to-state in America, this implies (to me) that the problem lies in American culture.
That's what it implies to everyone who can see the facts. Firearms are the sine qua non of American gun violence. No guns = no gun violence.
@@EdwardLindon by that argument they should ban knives in th UK. No knives= no stabbings.
@@Kg-yl5vy Of course, the problem with banning knives is they arguably have viable use cases other than killing people.
I didn't even buy my son play guns. Kids don't need guns in their lives. They need sports and art and music and fat dinners and hydration and the occasional nap. That's the problem with this country....parents treating their kids like peers. Guns are grown folks business.
My guess is that you live in a city or the suburbs. Just out of curiosity, at what age do you consider a person to be part of the “grown folks” club.
@ssmt2 don't be an ass. I'm from Wyoming originally where I'm like one of 3 people who DOESN'T own a gun. The other 2 are dead. I lived in Phoenix and now upstate New York. Kids are kids everywhere and no kid needs to play with a gun or play shooting games. I'm from literally the Wild West and I don't do guns for kids, bro.
@@kristawelch3821 If you grew up in Wyoming then you know that under 18 year olds use guns for hunting, target shooting, pest control, etc. on a regular basis. That’s just life in a rural area.
You raised your children without letting them use firearms. I don’t have any issues with that.
The problem that I have is that most of the people commenting here can’t understand why any teenager would be allowed to use a gun. They think that being raised in a city or suburb is the same as being raised in a rural area. It’s just not the same. There are a lot of kids raised on a farm that are operating tractors and combines at an early age. They also learn to use firearms at an early age. Millions of young people have learned how to shoot firearms throughout our country’s history. Millions of them have also never used them to shoot up a school.
The point that I want to make is that doing an across the board ban of under 18 year olds using firearms will not work. Nor will trying to pass a nationwide ban on the ownership of AR type firearms. They’re just to ubiquitous in America at this point. The political situation won’t allow for it. There are some things that should be done. universal background checks and red flag laws come to mind. IMO improving access to mental healthcare would also help with the problem. We just have to be realistic about what can get done right now vs. what will not happen any time soon.
I got a rifle for my 16th birthday. I bought a rifle from a friend on our school bus. I got off at my house with it and nobody freaked out. This was before social media made everyone retarded.
But y'all cool with drag shows
"The advocacy group Everytown for Gun Safety ranks Georgia 46th nationally for what they call some of the "weakest gun laws in the country....Gun owners in Georgia are also not legally required to lock up or otherwise securely store firearms away from children....Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp has a significant track record of supporting pro-gun legislation. In 2022, he signed a bill into a law that made it legal for gun owners in the state to carry a concealed weapon in public without first obtaining a license. In April 2021, in response to anti-gun violence nonprofit Giffords Law Center giving Georgia an "F" for its gun laws, Kemp said he was proud of the failing grade....I'll wear this 'F' as a badge of honor," Kemp wrote in a post on X. "Our 2nd Amendment is sacred, and I'll never back down from defending Georgians' constitutional rights."
Thanks to Georgia's GOV. BRIAN KEMP his state did not do everything they could have to prevent a disturb kid like this 14 year old to do what he did!
After the FBI sounded the alarm, local authorities didn't have enough evidence to prevent this kid from doing what he did. the kid comes from a broken home and his dad had the guns available to a disturbed teenage kid because Georgia doesn't have common sense gun control laws...if you have the face to support pro life laws then you should also have the back bone to support common sense gun control laws. babies grow up and go to school to possibly be killed by a disturbed someone?

I am a hardcore 2A, NRC, GOA member.....and I think you should hold the parent responsible in this case.
Your country is a mess in context gun violence. Just compare the death rate related to gun violence in different developped countries. You also are responsible for such tragedies with your hardcore attitude contributing to the political feasibility. Be aware of that.

Our kids can feel safer in school and in public.
Dumb discussion. If a parent give their 14 year old alcohol and keys to the car and they kill someone…🤨
still guilty - he gave the keys and alcohol to a minor.
Parents would be at fault not the child, what tf are you talking about
I think the point being made is that if that happens are you gonna discuss banning alcohol and cars.
@@PugFaceMillionaire it's a stupid point
@@inessabanovic8491
People are allowed to have guns. Some people abuse that right. Therefore take all guns away from everyone.

If they knew a year ago why was there a gun in the house period.
According to the boys aunt, he was pleading for help with his mental health. More mental health services mean nothing if no one provides them.
Although mental health is an issue for many, make no mistake, this young man still made a choice. Could his mental health make his bad choices 10 times worse? Sure. But he still made a decision out of his dark heart and mind.
Be well and be at peace.
Seriously, that gun isn't cheap. That money could have gone to a doctor's appointment
The 'parent' bought the gun and put the gun in the house. So, the parent is responsible...the guns should be under lock and key in a safe.
What if the kid breaks the safe open?
If the child was disturbed and you had the gun in the house in a safe that they broke into...which would be impressive if you have ever seen a gun safe...then perhaps just negligence because the father didn't NEED that gun. Also he could lock up ammo in a different place. OR store it at a gun club or shooting range or with another gun owner without a disturbed child in the home. Years ago a buddy of mine once took a shotgun from a friend because his friend had discussed self harm and being depressed. He locked it up in his gun safe and told his friend that once he got some help and was in a better mental state then he would give it back. His friend went along with it and it helped to push him to get the help he needed because my buddy had shown him how serious it was. If a friend can do that for another adult why couldn't a father do that for a son...who is 14... instead he did the opposite, that is criminal.
@@Speedyreedy1218 Breaking into a gun safe is a hard thing to do...unless they got access to the combination or 'finger print' it they have that kind of access...But, most people idea of storing a firearm is to keep it in a closet or in a bedside drawer or up on a shelf...not a great place to store a firearm....Responsiblity...where does it lie...with the person who purchases it.
@mustafaa965 Did you not watch the video? His Father bought the semi-automatic weapon of mass murder for Christmas!
@@carolynturk-hu7je What are you talking about...? I said if the parent bought the gun, and put the gun in the house, then the parent is responsible for what has happened. If you are going to have a gun in the home with minor children (under 18), it needs to be locked away...
"it doesnt have to be this way..."
We can’t buy fireworks but guns - sureee
'Colt', eh...? Guess daddy called his son after his favourite arms manufacturer.
Maybe after the founder Samuel Colt
In this particular instance, this father was not only negligent, but showed reckless disregard. The police told this father about his son making threats about a school shooting. The father lied to the investigators telling them that his son could not access loaded guns without supervision. Then instead of taking his son to see a mental health professional, he bought him an AR-15 style rifle for Christmas.
Going by JD Vance's philosophy the shooter's father should be getting more votes because he has a kid and apparently has more stake in the future of your country.
ALL SEMI-AUTOMATIC GUNS NOW BANNED IN NEW ZEALAND🇳🇿 HANDGUNS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN BANNED.
As soon as you Americans start your customary banter about "the rights of responsible gun owners" (and AR-15 owners at that) I realize you're never going to solve this problem. Where I live, it's not normal to own and be preoccupied with guns and if we hear of someone who does, it raises red flags to those who know them. You can nitpick about the specifics of each shooting all you want, but it's your gun culture and normalization of gun ownership that's making you the only country that routinely faces this problem.
Its not about gun ownership! ITS ABOUT GIVING AN ASSAULT RIFLE TO A TEENAGER!!!!
Which is about gun ownership. It’s about the adult who was allowed to own guns being so irresponsible that they gave their child a gun
Thank You Mr. Montel, I Said The Same Thing; The Parents Need Too Be In Trouble !! PERIOD
I agree as well. But here is the comment I made on the video....
"I thought locking parents up would make a difference. But kids are not pets or monkeys. They are humans. A 14 year old distrubed smart kid is capable of being deceptive. he was 4 years from becoming a adult. They can find their parents key, they can figure their parents safe code off youtube. Kids can be natural thiefs and hackers. I think a parent should be held accountable, but It comes down to the context of the crime and how the child got the weapon in the first place. If a parent can prove without reasonable doubt that they kept their weapons away from their child, then they should not be convicted. But if the kid gets their gun out of a damn shoe box under the bed, then yeah the parent should be held accountable."
When I heard a student being interviewed who stated that the police asked him to drop the weapon, I KNEW. When they reported that the shooter was arrested (not killed), I KNEW. When I heard that the police had interviewed him last year and nothing happened, I KNEW. There was a systematic and familiar failure that contributed to this tragedy.
The county authorities, school, and father were warned a year ago about this kid's danger and they NOTHING about it.
no they bought him a gun
The second didn't buy him a gun
The school didn't buy him a gun rather.
So he is in favor of locking up legal gun owners whose children commit crimes with their guns. But not the parents of the kids in the inner cities where most of the shootings occur in this country and illegal guns are being used. How does that make sense?
Black parents in the inner city aren’t buying their Schizophrenic children guns as rewards for cleaning their room. Shermichael is 2nd Amendment gun nutt.
Parents lacking in common sense
The parent didnt say he was pissed off about the shooting. He was pissed off that the cop was at his door accusing his kid who he claimed was innocent. Listen to the tapes.
There is no slippery slope, whatever the fuck that really means. If you gave your child booze and the keys to the car and told them to have fun. Guess what, you'd be responsible for the mess your kid made.
Parents should be held accountable for their kids actions as long as they're under their roof.
In my country parents are responsible for their children's actions. And a 14-year-old is a child.
just remember to charge all the urban parents in chicago also
The parents are responsible and should be charged accordingly. It has already been done to other parents just recently.
The manufacturers and retailers are responsible and should be charged accordingly.
No 14 y/o should ever have any type of gun
How about you stop giving Guns to children period. What is wrong people.
No child, in particular no teenager should have access to a weapon. Small children are ignorant, teenagers are volatile and emotionally labile.
No minor should be gifted a gun! It’s honestly out of control in this country & sad. 😡 The parents should be held accountable in this case, the father! I agree with Ashley tonight who’s very intelligent! These AR weapons need to be banned! The only way to do this is for Dems to take back the House & Senate! This type of ban should have never expired, but unfortunately that’s how it works & Rep’s are ruining this country! We need stricter gun laws! 😒
Children of any age don't need to have guns. Parents need to teach their children not to point a gun including a toy gun unless at a person or object unless you want to destroy that person or object. That is what my parents taught me about guns. Why give a child an assault style weapon? Yes, absolutely the father is just as guilty as if he pulled that trigger himself.
Agreed hold parents accountable. He knew his kids was having issues and out if control
WTF, yes all parents need to be responsible for what their kids do.
Nooopppe charge the parents. They knew that child was disturbed.
WHY PUT A WEAPON IN A CHILDS HANDS PERIOD??? HE'S 14 NOT 21😤 THIS WAS SOOOOOOOO IRRESPONSIBLE ON THE DADS BEHALF‼🤦🏾♀ 😔RIP to the victims 🕊💐And PRAYERS 🙏🏽 for their families
In this case the father is culpable... the fbi interviewed you and your demon son last year because of threats made against the school and you go and buy him a long gun... what a genius now go to jail
Nobody at any age needs an assault weapon who isn't in the military.
Oh Shermichael... weasel words!
Okay when I was coming up if I threw a rock at street light ,my mom would have had to pay it was broken. If more parents are held accountable for there kids actions, it would stop so much crimes.
Responsibility is the parents because everything starts at home
Guns don't start at home. Guns start in gun factories.
The PARENTS are responsible and that is IT!! If you have a monster on your hands, dont have guns
All Parents must be held to account for the Behavior of Wayward children under their care. Having guns is Not the issues.
Letting your unbalanced and underdeveloped children ACCESS to commit Either Accidents or Crimes Must have Consequences!
Take the weapon of choice out of the equation. Whether it’s an AR-15, a machete, or if he wanted to mow down his classmates and teachers with a car, Its one thing if you report concerns about your child’s behavior to the authorities and they don’t act on it, it’s quite another if the authorities come to you about your child’s behavior and you not only don’t addressed it, but enable him to carry out the crime. You as a parent are complicit.
Absolutely the parents both should be charged. What complete idiots.
I think the parents are divorced??? Maybe the mom didn't buy or was involved in the purchase of the gun
Yes parents need to be responsible for what their children do.. it’s called being a parent.
What a home wants with an AR gun? If a house has children and and gun, the children not even to know that there is gun in the house until they the children are mature enough. 25 and over
Because even if you raise it to 21, the kid from Pennsylvania would only have to wait until this week I think to buy that weapon….
Reading the comments here I get the feeling that most of the comments are from people that have only lived in cities and suburbs. There’s a huge difference in life styles between living in a city, the suburbs, and a rural area. I’ve lived in all three. Most people in America have never lived in a rural area. Where I live right now has a higher density of cattle per square mile than people. If there are any issues on my property I expect the fastest response time from LEO to be, at the very best, 15 minutes. That’s the quickest that i think that they’ll get here. In the meantime I want to be armed well enough to at least have a fighting chance. That is why I own an AR type firearm with high capacity magazines.
25 and over?? Really? You’re painting with a pretty broad brush. I grew up with firearms in the house. I was under 25 when I went in to the military and had to qualify with various types of weapons. I’ve never had the urge to shoot anyone.
Hello, I am a Girl Dad of four adult amazing daughters and also a United States Marine Corps Veteran. This is easy, I have the sole responsibility of keeping my daughters protected and safe, my adult daughters are all gun owners, were taught by me the protection and safety of their weapons and I explained to them that assault weapons need to be permanently banned because they are used only for killing mass amounts of people during wars period!!!
I never had guns or assault weapons in my home raising my daughter's Birth-18yrs old and parents should be held accountable if their children get access to their weapons. For adult humans to think that it is okay for any child to have an assault weapon is beyond processing!!!
If you live in Georgia, there are no red flag laws or requirements to have guns under control. You all might want to look to your legislators in Georgia.

Extremely myopic viewpoint from Jemele. You are basically saying parent's shouldn't be held responsible for their childs actions. We need to continue to charge these parents that have had warning signs their kids was gonna kill people and ignore them to the point of buying them a firearm. That is unacceptable and I am 100% sure that Jemele would have a different view if one of her family members was in the school.
Dumbest thing a parent could ever do period! 🚮
You have a young kid in your house you have a gun safe. You don’t give the kid the combination.
Leave it to the Republican strategist to argue Devil’s Advocate in a situation of obvious negligence.
A 14-year-old boy will be charged with murder after four people were killed and nine injured in a shooting at a Georgia high school.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation said two pupils and two teachers died in Wednesday's attack at Apalachee High School in Winder, Barrow County.
Colt Gray, a student at the school, was arrested by two officers on campus, an official said. He will be tried as an adult.
It has emerged that the FBI interviewed him last year after receiving anonymous tips about online threats to commit a school shooting, but agents did not arrest him at the time.
Officers first received reports of a shooting at the school of around 1,900 pupils at around 10:20 local time (14:20 GMT).
From Germany. We don´t have many people owning guns. Hunters and sportshooters are armed, and of course police and army people. We have very strict laws concerning how to deal with weaponsmif they are not in use and of course when in use. As a mother of four boys , my kids all had knifes with a "standing" blade, when they were quite young 6 years onwards.This might sound silly to you, but the first thing we (parents) did was showing them how to use it propperly, respectfully, trustworthy. We talked about what can be done and what one shouldn´t do, like running around. We both were convinced by discussions and talks,that our kids took our instructions seriously, that they understood the responsibility , that is included in being "weaponized ". But still several minor accidents did happen throughout the years , we were lucky! I would deal the same way , but guns ? Seriously? Not for me , not for my kids, I´m not in a war zone, I´m not in a dangerous surrounding with dangerous people. I´m no shooter or hunter , so why should I have a gun?

In 2023 there were 333 school shootings world wide. In the same year, 284 of these happened in America. It is more than mental health. Parental responsibility. Perhaps we can look at the whole picture.

Honestly, and I pray this doesn't happen, but I find it hard to see any change in this issue unless this happens to a media station or political office as often as it happens to school. It's been decades of consistent loss and quickly forgotten promises. Unless the problem is right in their faces, the powers at be aren't doing enough to stop it.
Erin really should fix her face..she looks like the rest of the panel just said something outrageous.
She is cute, I don't know what you're saying?
So if a parent gave a 14 year old child a set of car keys (knowing that it was below the age to have it) and that child gets behind the wheel and kills someone - wouldn’t the parent be responsible?
The entitlement and selfishness of people to value THEIR desire to own something rather than the betterment of all is so disappointing. It’s costing lives.
people are dying at the hands of kids.
Where have you been, Columbines' shooters were "kids" too! You do realize how long ago that was? Under 18 years olds killing people is not new!
Close schools there just places in cases with thousands of students who are housed together 5 days a week. Technology allows new non institutional schooling for most kids. Todays large schools are much like prisons and baby sitting centers .

5) IMMIGRATION = TRUMP AND BIDEN
6) ABORTION = TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP
7) GUN VIOLENCE = REPUBLICAN MAGA TRUMP
So 5 of the 7 are 100% TRUMP created problems, distractions and only 2 are trump biden issues but from the trump era.
THIS IS PROOF that trumps 4 years intentionally caused so much chaos that we can no longer focus on teh real things that matter.
WE should not be focused on democracy ...that should not be a thing in america...but it is because of trump!!!

do your research--FBI is federal...they passed it to local LE
Male brains are fully developed in the mid 20's. How many of these events are perpetrated by males below the age of 25?

Dumb comment
If your dad could pull it off...
“I understand what you’re saying, BUT …. “. Really addressing the issue.
Haven’t seen the vid, but I hope this black republican guy is reasonable today.
