[NHT3]

Marion county, they will be out with a slap on the wrist and a kiss on the neck before the day is over.. Just innocent kids having a little fun.

 

[BiscuitsandGravy]

P/u a quart of milk for their Grandmama? No?

I got it I got it... Headed to a boy scout meeting to demo proper firearm handling? No?

No, they need a good beating and then be incarcerated for a while as adults and not sent to juvenile detention.

 

[Robert Richardson]

Hope the troopers paddled their a*** before locking them up.

Looks like they have a bunch of ammo and magazines for guns not shown. I guess they broke in someplace and just grabbed anything that looked like it was gun-related.

 

[joncon]

Mothers against guns were on the news last night wanting more gun laws; such as gun locks and no under 21 sales.
They seem to think a new law prohibiting gun sales to those under 21 would have prevented this and the recent school shooting by a 42 wear old.

Yeah, looks like everything that wasn't locked up. Some shotgun shells and other assorted ammo. Some empty AR mags. Some bags of empty cases or reloads. A couple broken guns and stocks. The guy's bedroom shotgun and nightstand revolver...

 

[KLB]

Arrested on gun charges? That was the least of what they look to be charged with.

 

[jwamplerusa]

What the unholy f***! How does a 17 and 14-year-old end up with that?!

Where is the AR? Yeah, I know stolen goods unsecured arms and ammunition yada yada yada. None of that matters because they shouldn't have been stealing to begin with.

Nothing less than uncivilized feral humans. Until we as a society again recognize that there are predatory humans among us and we treat them as such things will only continue to get worse.

So were they planning on using those weapons in their next robbery? Or more likely to sell them for cash and or drugs.

 

[Tactically Fat]

Hooray for the Shadeland corridor!

so. much. fun. working here.

no, they don't. They know non of these new laws would do anything at all to solve those issues. What it does do is push forward with their desire to ban all firearms.

When I was young I would have been in big trouble lol, a lot of us were in possession of a firearm.

We arrested a 14yr old for a home invasion robbery that exchanged gunfire with the residents on the way out. Caught kid with pistol in pants. 14yr old mom came to scene and asked what the big deal was, Indiana changed their law that allows ANYONE to own a gun...

I've read the Constitution. Twice. Well, most of it. There's no age limit on the Second Amendment.
