The father of the mass shooting suspect accused of killing four people at Apalachee High School in Winder, Georgia, told investigators this week he had purchased the gun used in the killings as a holiday present for his son in December 2023, according to two law enforcement sources with direct knowledge of the investigation.
Colt Gray, a 14-year-old student, is accused of killing two students and two teachers with an AR-style rifle in the Wednesday shooting. Nine more people were hospitalized.
One source told CNN the AR-15-style rifle was purchased at a local gun store as a Christmas present.
It’s the perfect hunting rifle for when a herd of deer stampedes.
Lost a lot of good men out there in the deer stampede hunts
Or 30-50 feral hogs.
I’m waiting for someone to explain to me how an automatic gun/rifle is needed for hunting animals/deer.
AR-15’s are not automatic. Also, automatic firearms are already illegal for the majority of civilians.
See I know nothing about guns
To the automatic part, that’s what the bump stocks were about and why the banning. It helped to turn an assault rifle into acting like an automatic weapon by using recoil to bump the stock which the bounce made it rapidly tap the trigger finger and fire much faster.
That honestly sounds like a safety issue, if you can lose control of how many rounds you might fire in a direction
