Police find weapons cache at teen's home

[Miss Z]

I didn't think the media was stupid about it. It was a kid who had issues, had been picked on and bullied, and he was being homeschooled because he couldn't make it in a regular school setting. I saw the reports with the pics of the weapons... it was an armory in terms of numbers. One gun was more than enough to do damage with.

Agreed.

'Serious' weapons or not, weapons are weapons. They are designed to do damage. Perhaps he was deluded about causing another Columbine, but I bet he could have had a real good go.

His intentions were in place to harm people regardless of what he was going to use to do so. That's scary enough for me.

I applaud the media for once on this story, for shaming a disturbed individual and his what-were-they-thinking-buying-him-a-gun parents, and for displaying the message of 'you will be caught and punished' to those who have thought about trying the same thing.

Agreed.

Having shot a bunch of weapons I disagree..

My only peeve is that the media made it sound like the kid had an arsenal that would defeat an army.

A 30 pellet or BB guns isn't an arsenal.
A pellet or BB gun that looks like a modern firearm is trouble.
There are replica 'guns' that will get you killed if you present them to a law officer-too bad, you idiot!

This kid is a product of bad parenting, bad choices and stupidity.

I am glad that they busted him and his mom, But have a problem with the media presenting his gun stash as fricking WW III.

That's like saying they kid had a nuke, when in fact it was a radium wrist watch.
