  1. So what is next we are sending parents to jail every time their teenage son or daughter is convicted of DUI. Welcome to North Korea where families are punished for the crime of one

  2. It was not illegal for the father to give his son the rifle. ChatGPT explains:

    “Rifles and shotguns (long guns): Georgia does not have a general law that makes it automatically illegal for a parent to give a 14-year-old a rifle or shotgun. That is why, in the Apalachee High School case, Colin Gray was not charged with violating a statute that simply prohibited giving his son the AR-style rifle. Instead, prosecutors argued that his conduct was criminally negligent given what he allegedly knew about his son’s behavior and the warning signs, leading to convictions under other criminal statutes.”

  3. My parents gave me a semi auto .22 rifle at age 14, in 1973, and allowed me to take it out by myself. We lived in the mountains of northern Arkansas at the time and I hunted squirrels and raccoons. I never shot or attempted to shoot anybody. Things were different back then. Very different.

  4. He deserves much longer, but I'm surprised they held him accountable at all! You're dumb enough to ignore your kid and provide them with weapons you're just as guilty. You're the parent, and you're gonna be held accountable for what you should have prevented.
