Pittsburgh Teen Has AD In Downtown McDonalds

But seriously, this kid was clearly either:
1. Untrained
2. Incompetent
3. Clumsy
4. Up to no good
5. Any combination of the above

You left one out.

6. A gangbanger

I grew up in a rough enough neighborhood that I began carrying when I was 14. I wasn't in a gang, wasn't a thug, wasn't a revolving door juvie kid. I just wanted to keep my blood where it was. Inside my body.

That year, I'd already been stabbed in the right thigh in the schoolyard as I was walking home, and had already been shot with a 20 gauge full of birdshot. I still have a scar on my thigh and a lump in my chin where a piece of bismuth shot is still there and I'm 35.

So, painting this kid as some thug because he had a firearm is sheer speculation that makes you feel good about your assumptions of people.

Not all kids that wear baggy pants and have a flat brim cap are gangsters. It's just a new style, like what leather jackets and long hair were in the 50's and 60's.
Challenge your own assumptions about people.

He had an ND. Bad for him.
When I was fourteen I was a total gearhead and understood exactly how my weapon worked about 20 minutes after I took possession of it. It never happened to me, but it could have.
Heck, it could happen nowadays.

Hi Unrealtrip,

Unfortunately the system is set up that a law cannot be declared unconstitutional until it is enforced. Too bad Congresscritters aren't required to note what part of the Constitution gives them the authority to pass a bill.

So before everyone starts cheering that he can't own a gun, lets look at another very real possible scenario. One in which is is innocent.
Kid lives in a bad neighborhood and had a run in with a gang, maybe more than once that threatened him.
For the rest of his life, he will not be allowed to have the ability to defend himself against an assailant other than harsh language and sticks and stones.

Yup, an absolute possibility. Problem is, you don't believe that any more than I.

Shucks, if he had shot himself just a little higher he might have qualified for a Darwin award, and lived to enjoy it.
