The reasoning against guns is so deeply flawed, maybe it's a way to pretend to have an "expert" give views on it. What else could they do in that regard, when you think about it. If it's true the dad is willing to play the part, we know the media is not going to turn it down. Would anyone deny that the media is anti-gun, across the board?
These last few/several shootings where that happens, it certainly appears to be very scripted. So is someone urging them (usually a dad) to do it? Is there scripting involved?
