1. Where did this kid get this idea
2. What on earth does this kid want/need that he decided to hold up a grocery story. What can you buy at age 8? Can you sneak home a PS3 or Xbox without mom noticing?
3. How did the kid get to the store?

Sounds like you're both thinking perhaps the mother put the kid up to it?

There's a certain logic there.. The mother seems to be taking it as a joke or just happy to be on TV.

How dare you judge their parenting you racist. Ebonie is a great person and a law abiding citizen.

Serious now, what are the odds the firearm was legally owned?

But that won't happen. Prosecutors coddle people who do an 'ooops!' with their firearms. More often than not, they don't even lose the firearm.

There is no accountability.
Good point, when criminals do criminal things with guns nothing seems to happen. However if you have an object the state has deemed evil and zero victims like say a standard capacity magazine good luck getting out of jail.

Mom owned the gun legally? I doubt it.

If the cops say it was a legal gun it was! That's has nothing to do with anything. The kid saw something or something happened with his friends that he thought this was the thing to do. He's a little kid so who knows. I have a 7 yr old grand. He don't always makes sense. Now my weapon is double locked, my son locks his room and keeps in drawer I think I'll buy him a finger print case as they get older. Kids can't be trusted .

This from a guy who lives not-all-too-far from Detroit. Speaking of water, how's Flint doing these days?


See how easy it is to make fun of a state!


p.s. I do not live in Florida, though I have in the past.

No. Not blaming the mom without more info. Kids get crazy ideas sometimes. This kid has a story.

Guns are objects and almost universally legal. Was it legally possessed? That is the question.

I don't know if I totally would say that. Either the kid has some horrible role models or parents aren't doing their jobs.
