That was my thought. The family knew the kid was talking about shooting his school mates they should have made damn sure he couldn't get access to any firearm. That blows my mind.
What worked on me was the MSM reporting the Democrats agendas as facts. See Russiagate, the Covid vaccine, Hunter laptop, as just a few examples of the media earning my mistrust.
If the above is true then whoever reports the false narrative should be ashamed. But because of the state of the MSM these days it's not easy to determine what is true or what isn't.
