"A total of 58 weapons were recovered from the 17-year-old student's bedroom"
(why didn't they just count up the amount of rocks in the yard as well and add that into the weapon count?)
"The 17-year-old's parents were cited by Metro Police for aiding or knowingly allowing a child to possess a firearm"
("A" firearm, one gun, becomes a "record-sized cache of weapons") These parents deserved to be charged, they allowed the cops to search the kid's room, and now they're looking at charges - hope they learned something, doubt it though

All those weapons, yet no shooting. This does not sound like the type of teenagers the news always tells us about, you know how all of them are quicker to shoot then adults, impulsive, ignorant of the permanence of death, hormone driven, out of control?
Also, where does the 2nd amendment say "18 and older only."? |

Oh I know TV and newspaper media will tell me this would be a technicality, but WHERE DO THESE SCHOOL POLICE HAVE JURISDICTION AND WHAT LAWS ARE THEY ENFORCING?
I wonder if their house is made of bricks. They should take the house into custody for possessing a weapon then.
The parents have shown that they don't know what their rights are, therefore they will not defend them.
All hail the mighty SCHOOL POLICE!
But they seem like really nice guys without their black masks on....
MOLON LABE!!! |

| "In talking with the teenagers -- two 17-year-olds and a 13-year-old-- the officers recovered two knives, a pair of nunchakus and an electronic Taser, Couthen said." RECOVERED? Shouldn't that be confiscated? |

Only God knows how on earth my generation managed to survive before it was a CRIME for someone under 18/21 to possess a firearm! And to think, in this case, that the parents actually knew about it!! They should be thrown in the slammer as unfit parents!!! Never mind that when I was 7 years old, my father gave me a .22 rifle. Never mind that I used to go to the hardware store after school to buy ammo for it. Oh, we’re MUCH safer now that SCHOOL COPS are allowed to search our child’s BEDROOM!
NOT!!! |

Confiscated were two 9mm handguns and NUMEROUS martial arts weapons and other weapons and knives.
I believe the school police have full peace officer status/power.
whether we like it or not there is a law in Nevada about minors possessing handguns plus I don't know how they obtained the firearms. Were they stolen?
I'm watching this case closely.
I don't think this is as cut & dried as one might think.
The more I read about minors misusing firearms the more I think they shouldn't have em, or cars for that matter. kids today show no common sense or respect for firearms. |

AFAIK,Police officers are granted authority and certified at the state level and have the authority to the law outside their jurisdiction.
This is one reason you see UNLV police handing out DUIs and the like outside of university property.
From another post:
"The more I read about minors misusing firearms the more I think they shouldn't have em, or cars for that matter. kids today show no common sense or respect for firearms. "
This is exactly how gun control groups fell about all people, youth AND adult. Isn't it possible that the media only reports the bad things involving youth and guns the same way they only report bad things involving adults and guns?
Gun control DOES NOT WORK,not matter who it happens to be aimed at. |
