If your kid's unhappy, buy him some guns.......

That was the thinking of the Pennsylvania mother charged with illegally buying guns for her 14-year old troubled son. In a recent Associated Press article, she reportedly was ‘indulging the boy’s interests because he was unhappy’ and had NO idea that it might lead to a school assault or suicide or any of the number of things that randomly come to my mind in the matter of seconds when I hear the words: guns and unhappy teen. Oh yeah and he’d been home-schooled for over a year when his parents decided to take him out of school because he was being bullied.

Let’s see: unhappy, troubled teen with an interest in guns and now being home-schooled because the other kids were picking on him at school yet still no bells are going off for mom that arming her son might not really be a wise parenting move. After Columbine and the number of school shootings in recent years, I realize the connection is hard to make IF you’ve the IQ of a paperclip and have lived in a vacuum many layers beneath the earth’s surface for the past 2 decades. Wow! What the fak is wrong with this mother? Honestly why the fak would you buy your kid a gun even if he was the most stable, popular, and happiest kid on the planet? Perfect example of why I feel people should have to pass a simple common sense test before they’re allowed to conceive children. Sorry but there are just too many stupid parents running around populating the earth with stupid or severely warped kids.

What kind of an idiot parent responds to her kid’s unhappiness by buying him guns to cheer him up? Not an Xbox, iPod, new bike, or a gift certificate to a therapist but guns - including a 9mm semiautomatic rifle with a laser scope. That’d come in mighty handy when orchestrating the school assault plot he confessed to police who then found an arsenal of assorted weapons in his home, a rather disturbing and poorly spelled MySpace page, and tribute videos to the Columbine shooters. Big surprise mom, huh?
