From my experience, those who push hard drugs usually have access to guns.
We're talking about a little boy here, not some hard core drug dealer. I'm sure these photos were taken just to show off to his church group buddies. I'm just wondering where the gun is now.

Wonder if the righties think guns are scary objects, looks like they do, for now, until some wacko shoots up a school, then guns are cool and all kids should own one.

Hypocrites

It's really too bad more people don't get what they deserve.

It's to be expected, I'm not shocked, I just wish some of you could grow up and move past this infantile way of thinking.
I don't have any comrades here pal.

IMO, you asked a stupid question.

Yes, I wished the same thing of RW OP's.

We're talking about a 17 year old little boy who took photos holding a handgun, I'm simply asking where that gun went and who owned it. This isn't about the night he was shot, this is about the day he took those pictures.

Oh c'mon. Why would you even be interested in why some 17-year-old kid in Florida had pictures of a gun on his phone, and where it came from, if it weren't for the fact that he was a victim in a notorious case?

The 'little boy' was 17. He is certainly not at an abnormal age to deal drugs. There's allegations that he was selling weed--so there is a possibility or likelyhood that he was 'hustlin' .

There's also a possibility that he may have had interest in selling harder drugs, given his need for or access to a gun. Again, just on speculation--in my experience people who strictly deal in small amounts of weed aren't the dangerous gang banging, gun toting types. It's usually the kids or guys who sell or have access to the harder stuff.

First identify who "you guys" are.

Second, this forum isn't a court room--no one is presuming that he is 'guilty' of anything.

Some of us are simply extrapolating with the information based on our unrelated experiences.
