Mom of the Year

What do you do when your boy tells you he's being bullied? Why, you do what any mother would do. Buy him some guns.

Brings a tear to my eye, really. Why I remember when I told my dear sainted mother about those guys on the varsity wrestling team giving me the business in 9th grade, she took my face in her hands, looked at me with a mother's love, and said "a switchblade and a little attitude can take care of that son".

The boy has allegedly admitted to planning an attack. Authorities found a 9mm rifle (who knows what kind, reporters don't say and honestly don't know the difference between an AK-47 and a squirrel rifle anyway), sword, knives, airguns and 3 homemade grenades, along with a bunch of screwed up crazy notes.

Grenades?

Mom had also bought him a .22 handgun and a .22 single shot rifle (squirrel gun!). Dad tried to buy him a gun a couple of years ago, but he had a felony record and that's a no no.

His lawyer asserts that prosecutors displayed 30 airguns that look like "real weapons" and are trying to make a "Columbine" case. Perhaps. But a real rifle and explosive devices aren't nothing. And it sure seems the boy had issues.

Bet the parents do too.
