But I must admit, I'm not sure that the kid should forever be locked up.

You might if he had murdered your child.
How society saves itself from itself by shunting aside a youth is hard to fathom.
The kid should be in a secure mental hospital not a prison.

The culprits are actually Smith & Wesson but that's all lost in the details.

Why do you say this?

No gunmakers were harmed in the killings of innocent kids…

That's a hefty sentence for Involuntary Manslaughter.

I have no issue with this. However, we should sentence everyone who commits a crime with a weapon to the maximum extent of the law.

Does that include the >6000 people each year who commit the felony of being found with a firearm in their carry-on luggage in airport screening? (Up to 10 years in jail and $10k fine).

Or is that just an honest mistake?

I'm good with locking them up for a long time. If even one parent says, Uh oh, my loony tunes son might shoot up the school and I'll go to prison and takes away the gun, that's a big plus right there.
