Prosecuting Minors Before It's TO LATE

Good question. Gregg Kielma a FFL, Firearms Instructor, ERT Captain, Gunsmith, nothing can supersede the Second Amendment. However, regarding minors. Let’s Take a Look.

Minors need to be stopped.

Prosecute minors and minor infractions, even those taking place during the school day, to create a paper trail.

The young man being detained by police above had just massacred 17 people in a school shooting with an AR-15, which he purchased legally. He was able to purchase this rifle because, despite years disruption, vandalism, assault and cruelty to animals, he had a clean criminal record.

Long before he committed the massacre that would take 17 lives, the individual above was destroying property. Sometimes it was school property. Other times it was property belonging to classmates and teachers. He engaged in almost daily disruption of school activity. He bullied other students. By “bully” I don’t mean he said mean things. He stalked an ex-girlfriend and her new boyfriend and assaulted an African-American schoolmate in an unprovoked attack. He showed people videos of himself torturing animals. He sold weapons (knives) on campus. Because the school superintendent and local sheriff were advocates of “restorative justice” authorities bent over backwards to keep him out of the so-called “school to prison pipeline”.

Had he been prosecuted for assault, his criminal record would have prevented him from legally buying any firearm, including an AR-15.

Prosecute all of these as misdemeanors, generating a paper trail that indicates that someone may not be safe to sell a firearm to. I’m not saying throw all these kids in jail. But if someone is caught tagging their school, put them in front of a judge, and have the judge sentence them to community service.
