Yeah, I've seen "AR 15" attributed to police sources (with 9 loaded mags and a semi-auto handgun)... the shooter "defeated" the parents' firearm security system.... whatever that means. "The weapons had been secured, but he defeated the security measures."
And the politicians are already proposing more laws...
Oregon State Senate President Pro Tempore Ginny Burdick told NBC News she regrets that the state currently has no law that bans assault-style weapons nor is there any law that holds parents criminally liable.
"This is a public health catastrophe we have on our hands," Burdick said of the epidemic of shootings. She said Padgett’s parents "are ultimately responsible."

Why no mention of the much more frequent and far far greater total number of murders, including firearm murders, of "minorities" by "minorities" in urban inner city locations? Isn't that a "public health catastrophe"? If not, why not? Maybe they don't have that problem in Oregon.
If parents "are ultimately responsible" for criminal acts by their offspring, we're going to need to triple the prison spaces available.
