    I did live about 5 years in Minnesota, so I'm basically as Canadian as an American could be :laugh:

    Crikey, just Googled it as absolutely no idea about guns as most of have no clue about them. It looks like something the Marines would have used in Iraq.


    Happy birthday son. Hope you enjoy your semi automatic rifle. Can't buy yourself a beer but next best thing is go on a shooting spree.

    An Assault rifles specific use is on the Battle field. It is madness that they are even legal to buy, let alone a bunch of loons campaigning for the rights of teenagers to be able to buy and carry them? You don’t hunt deer with ARs, it would literally rip it to pieces

    the politicians supporting this right for kids to carry weapons of war, due to the rights of their citizens, are the same ones supporting banning books in Florida schools. Republican politicians don’t care about contradicting themselves because their supporters accept that they are compulsive liars. They are also enabling even more mass shootings.

    I wouldn't usualy agree with this, but if it makes even one parent in the USA think it might not be a great idea to give their 15 year old kids lethal firearms as playthings then it's probably justified.

    The parents of a Michigan teenager who shot dead four students have each been sentenced to 10 to 15 years in prison.

    A seven-year sentence was recommended, but prosecutors asked for more.

    James and Jennifer Crumbley, the first parents of a US school shooter to be convicted, appeared together for the first time in months at Tuesday's sentencing hearing.

    Both expressed regret about their son's attack, as their lawyers pushed to minimise their prison sentence.

    In a landmark case, jurors in separate trials found each parent of shooter Ethan Crumbley guilty of involuntary manslaughter earlier this year.

    Judge Cheryl Matthews said that the expanded sentence of 10 to 15 years was "to act as a deterrent" and reflected the parents' failure to stop the attack.

    "They [parents] are not expected to be psychic. But these convictions are not about poor parenting. They concern acts that could have halted a runaway train," she told the court.

    "Opportunity knocked over and over again, louder and louder, and it was ignored."

    The Crumbleys are eligible for parole after they serve 10 years in prison, but they cannot be held for more than 15 years if parole is denied.

    Prosecutors had alleged that the pair had dismissed clear signs that their son's mental health had deteriorated, and noted that the parents had bought Ethan Crumbley the gun he used in the 2021 attack.

    Their son was 15 when he killed four students with a semi-automatic handgun at Oxford High School. Seven others were wounded in the shooting.

    He is now serving life in prison without parole.

    The stupid f***s bought a 15 year old a gun. Even without the vile, good for nothing little c**t going on to kill other children, that is enough to get someone locked up as far as I'm concerned.

    Good decision.

    Arizona to ban abortions to please the God Squad botherers. Meanwhile you can still buy a gun and carry it around in public on show.

    Nice that they deal with very important issues.

    Unfortunately, the right-wing, fundamentalist nutjobs who want to control of what women can and can't do with their bodies, are invariably the same wankers who want as many people carrying guns as possible.

    There are banana republic dictatorships with rules and laws that make more sense than America. The place is f****d.
