Another sad day for law abiding citizens. It took me a while to find any significant information about this particular case. Apparently it's still up in the air where the pistol in question came from. The theory is it was one that the shooter's father built sometime before he died of a heart attack in 2017. There were other unlocked guns found in the residence where the shooter lived. They tried to float two gun charges against the mother; and the DA ultimately refused to take the case. 

But again. Student takes gun from home; brings it to school, and shoots kids. It was NOT like he was able to buy the polymer80 kit, and complete it himself in his bedroom undetected. Same poor parenting, and/or gun security we see time and time again.

If instead the shooter used a simple revolver; it's unlikely we would be having this discussion. But because the firearm could be easily vilified; it was, and continues to be. At this rate, can't they ban every make and model of firearm within a year or so? Any gun that's been used in a crime anywhere, throughout all of recorded history?

It's just not a logical conclusion to jump to. There is nothing especially dangerous about a polymer80 in comparison to any similarly designed and serialized gun. What gives this lawsuit actual merit? The father is likely to have purchased it legally. And even if he didn't; he's dead. The mother not securing firearms is apparently not a legal issue? But polymer80s are?

Of course more regulations will help. We’re a society of law abiding citizens...that’s why we no longer need the police. As long as someone tells us the rules, we’re bound to follow them....right?
