Dose of reality. I live 5 minutes from this high school. Run past it daily. And is where my oldest will be going in another 4 years.

If only teachers were armed... Or you could raise the legal she to buy a gun to 21. I can't believe that you have to be 21 to buy a handgun, but not an assualt rifle.

"Ms. Felker stated that Timothy does have some anger problems but she could not see him being violent and didn't feel like he would harm anyone else,"

She didn't think the teen with the AR-15 and 500 rounds would shoot up a school..... Are you serious lady?

Right, he wouldn't be a psycho with a grudge at 21. Everything is made all better if mass murderers are a little older.

You're right...the age should be raised to 75 to own ANY gun. By the time you pull it out to use it, you would have forgotten why you pulled it out to begin with, lowering the casualty rate :D

There is a lot of brain development, especially in judgement, risk taking, and emotions between 18 and 21.

Further, I seriously doubt the grudge wild last three years post high school, considering the grudge is against people not the building. There have been very few school shooting committed by someone that isn't a current or recent student.

what I want to know is what mother pays for her kids tattoo with enough cash to buy an AR15 AND 500 bullets.

"And then says yes he does have serious anger problems but I couldn't see him hurting anyone with it". She literally must have empty space between her ears. Odds she's a trump supporter?

I would also like to say that before anyone says "well it's Kentucky" this highschool is in the wealthiest zip code in the state. This isn't some bumble fuck Eastern state redneck area.

Are tattoos that expensive that you can buy an AR-15 and 500 rounds of ammo with that money???

Ughh, as always some of the Fox News comments are painful:

"THIS is the agenda. "A tip was made online to STOP, Safety Tipline Online Prevention, on Feb. 16 which stated Felker “owns a gun and constantly talks about killing himself/shooting up the school"

"Someone calls the SS Getapo and they take your things and you until YOU PROVE you are not a threat. Now how do you prove you are not a threat. I could call this in on anyone of you and you would be in the same boat as this kid!"

"The way the tip line is set up and how they took his property away is a violation of civil rights, pure and simple"

Wait.. I'm pretty sure I saw Dana Loesch on TV a few weeks ago telling the Parkland kids and the Nation that the NRA is all for taking guns away from mentally ill.

Nevermind the fact that this Kentucky kid is a minor, and his mom has every right to turn in his gun to police.

A simple AR can run $600 - 900 which is likely the same price as really large tattoos, which are quite expensive as they can take hours to complete and colorize.

Good news. Another future school shooter caught before he could do anything. The authorities had good processes in place and acted on it unlike the authorities in the Parkland shooting - all without new gun controls.

And again, only a few of the MSM sites are picking this story up. They are still working on the Corey Feldman alleged stabbing.
