-A 16 year old could have been taught how to access the weapon in case of an emergency.

-Oregon does have a safe storage law, that was either ignored or bypassed.

Sounds like the mom should be charged 🤷‍♀️

She probably will be. Still doesn’t retroactively prevent the shooting.

Yes, but that doesn’t change the outcome.

I wonder what causes a 16 year old to become so enraged to kill people / kids he doesn’t even know

u/AspieAsshole 1d ago

I do too. It's truly unimaginable to me. Literally the most innocent of kids.

Yeah, although with a misdemeanor. Safe storage laws are fine, they’re just a charge to add-on when there’s a more serious one committed by someone else though.

Edit: apparently in Oregon is not even a misdemeanor, but a class C non-criminal violation, or potentially a Class A, so probably just pay a fine

There is no emergency that requires a 16 year old to have a gun
