The Crumbley's press statement: "The stories picturing us as uncaring parents are absolutely false. We brought James up to respect the second amendment. So it's not our fault. If there would have been a 'good guy with a gun' this wouldn't have happened. We're confident the justice system will treat us fairly so we can start our Good Guy with a Gun Foundation, an idea President Trump has already blessed. We urge fellow citizens to visit our GoFundMe page It'sAllClearBro.com"

All caused by parents arming their children.
The Second Ammendment appears to be the only core value these folks thought important enough to teach their son.
I have a hard time believing that any of them can be rehabilitated in years of prison.

So the CAPTION is fictional, but also a portrait of their souls.

(38,477 posts)...That one is quite old. I learned about it, and I never killed anyone...
..........GOOD GUY WITH A GUN??...what about that very old law?..from before Jesus was ever thought about?
..........Before there were guns that kill. Before there was a 2nd Amendment. Before there were any Amendments,
....Before Jusus, Before Greek Philosophers, Before TV, Before radio. Before there was an idea of, "good guy with
a gun!!!

(50,346 posts)rather than teach him anything about the proper use of guns or responsibility of gun ownership. The 2nd Amendment isn't a rubber stamp for the country to be the wild west. Figures they've set up a fundraising page. Fuck them. "Good Guy With a Gun Foundation" my ass.

(50,346 posts)Since I'm not the only one who realized it was supposed to be satire (all things considered it sounds plausible), maybe it should be taken down.
CAPTIONing at DU goes way back (check out my journal). There used to be a dozen of us and the CAPTIONs were like the funny pages. Besides, for the humor-deficient, I always make it clear, especially so no one quotes the CAPTION elsewhere as though it was real.
That's my take-down.

(16,157 posts)killed their child? Wow, I didn't think I could think less of them.
Apparently, there is no bottom.

(19,361 posts)Everyone is always invited to add CAPTIONs.
There used to be about a dozen people originating these and adding CAPTIONs to other's CAPTION posts.
Check out my journal for a flavor. It really goes back at least to W.'s administration. I only started saving on 2012.

(50,612 posts)"If someone with a gun would have killed our own son before he got a chance to start shooting, he wouldn't have killed four people and wounded seven others."
Also, the intent of the Second Amendment was NOT to enable children to shoot up schools!
Twenty years hard labor will be good for them.

The eyes and hair are the same color, too.
No, I'm not kidding.
Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
