Let's Stop Pretending to be Clueless about Latest School Shooter Who Killed Classmates

Why, oh why, oh why, would a popular 14 year old go on a shooting spree, killing classmates, including his presumed favorite cousins?   The answer folks as to "why" is . . . Let's just dispense with all the handwringing and pretense of utter confusion. This situation is just too heartbreaking for the media to persist in its sham, elusive search for answers.  Jay Fryberg killed three classmates and left two in critical condition with bullet wounds to the head because his folks gave him a gun as a present.

Actually we now know details so gruesome, that I almost wish we didn't. This kid  sent the victims text messages to meet at a table in the cafeteria so that he could mow them down in cold blood.  The brain of a  normal fourteen year old is not fully formed. I don't know what the professionals will say about the brain of this one.  Here again, I find the need to repeat myself. Had the parents not had an arsenal of weapons lying around the house and found it necessary to buy a special one with their fourteen year old son's name witten all over it, this nightmare would not have happened.

But this is America and folks have a right to bear arms.  If they insist on leaving them around for their emotionally unstable children to pick up and murder their classmates with, then so be it.

I wonder what Mr. and Mrs. Fryberg think now of their precious 2nd Amendment Rights.
