I wonder if there is any update on the investigation? How exactly are they investigating a 7-year-old?

What about all of the passengers, who are caught by the TSA bringing loaded guns onto commercial aircraft? They always come up with the most ridiculous excuses when they are caught, namely ” I didn’t know it was in my luggage”. In some cases, juries have actually bought those asinine arguments, and have acquitted some defendants.

What is scary is how a 7 year old could get hold of a loaded gun. Didn’t these morons learn anything from Sandy Hook & the subsequent tirades & rantings? Don’t investigate the child, pull him & siblings out of the home & arrest the parents.
