    I'm interested in the fact that some members seem to believe the fact that the boy was acting under peer pressure & hiding the gun for others that he is afraid of & will not name. What is your basis for believing that? The fact that he said it & it was then reported in the media? Do you really expect him to say " I was planning an armed robbery" or "I was going to go postal in a school" or "I was going to murder my ex-girlfriend"? Of course he will blame someone else. Does that make it the truth?

    ^ Absolutely right. The first option has to be to blame it on some thing or somebody else.
    I see no reason to doubt that there is a distinct possibility that he'd got the gun and had every intention of using it for his own purposes.

    I'm afraid that the fact that he's 19 is irrelevent.

    So all the tyrants, rapists and wrong doers of this world can blame their parents ? When it comes to court procedings we will now try the parents, cause it aint the kids fault they ended up in trouble. What a cop out clause.
    Exactly. As if there aren't varying degrees of retards, idiots, and other reprobates born into the world that no quality of parenting or guidance could cure.

    Get real.
