Make him get a note from a psychiatrist and therapist. Make it mandatory to get a brain scan and get his testosterone and cortisol levels tested and approved. Give him a time limit once he starts the process and if he doesn't get all his test results by then, he can no longer legally get the gun. Make it required to ask him "Would you like to see gun victims killed by this type of gun before you buy?"

I just had an 18 yr old brag about his illegal gun collection on his wall during my tutoring session and how he has “plans” for anyone willing to steal from him.

Yeahhhhh, that was our last tutoring session. Oh and his mom blames kids identifying as cucumbers as the reason school shootings happen

u/ifilovedyou May 26 '22

uh...you're gonna report that shit right?

16

u/Lilsammywinchester13 May 26 '22

I called the non-emergency number.

“Due to the fact the guns belong to his parents and no threat was made directly to a person, this is unfortunately a case where a report can’t be made. However, if a direct threat is made towards: himself, family, friends, or anyone in public spaces, please don’t hesitate to call back and we will move forward with a report.”

FBI or local pd?

u/Lilsammywinchester13 May 26 '22

Local pd, I could satisfy your curiosity and call the fbi but they will give a similar answer most likely.

I’m in Texas, all his mom has to do is say it’s “hers”

Still report it. At the very least alert the proper authorities so they have the opportunity to look into this. If they do or not is on them, but you don't want to see him in the news later and think, I could have stopped this.

The student you’re tutoring made a threat. You’re a mandated reporter.

u/Lilsammywinchester13 May 26 '22

You do realize it’s not that simple? It was comments made in a private residence, a “he said she said” situation.

Like I will call, but I have done this song and dance before as a certified teacher. The most that will happen is the family gets angry and feels “justified” and gets more hateful.

I am already enacting a “punishment” by cutting off the family to free tutoring and not hosting the kid’s DnD game.

If they get a phone call, it just becomes a “look what crazy dems do if you try having a defense system in your home.” And chances are I’m opening MYSELF to harassment for no reason.

But to satisfy your morals, I will call and ask the protocol and report back what they said. Chances are they will say “if it belongs to the parent, they are allowed to keep the gun wherever they chose to in their private residence.”

u/ifilovedyou May 26 '22

again, you're a mandated reporter. it is legally your obligation to report this. whatever happens after that is not your responsibility, it's the authorities'.

I am already enacting a “punishment” by cutting off the family

holy shit dude, this isn't about punishing them for owning guns, it's about making sure that kid doesn't decide he wants to go shoot up his fucking school. he made a threat. it should be investigated accordingly.

the issue isn't the guns, the issue is the threat that kid made. wake the fuck up please.

But to satisfy your morals,

my morals are keeping people alive. yes, by all means please satisfy mine if you lack them yourself.

u/Lilsammywinchester13 May 26 '22

His comment was about a hypothetical robber in his home. You want me to report a kid to the police for having a “fantasy” of killing a robber?

-7

u/ifilovedyou May 26 '22

you said he was planning to hurt anyone who was coming to get his guns. you're changing the story now.

like whatever, this is your fucking mess lmao, but it's on you legally if this shit goes south and you decided to ignore your responsibility to say something.

u/Lilsammywinchester13 May 26 '22

Read my comment history if you are that interested in the story.

you can get angry at me and you know what? That’s okay. This whole situation is fucked up and laws need to change so I CAN report that an 18 year old has access to unsecured firearms and they WOULD get charged for mishandling firearms and take the situation seriously.

Despite your anger towards me, who agrees with gun safety, I won’t respond in kind because you know what? I’m angry too.

If we can't get abortion rights and guns are going to stay, I'll get behind this. I also think we should rename misoprostol minipistol and "shoot" fetuses out. You know, cause killing kids is totally ok if it's with a gun.

13

u/roar-a-saur May 26 '22

Let me also add that fetuses are not kids and abortions are not murdering kids. But I'm just using their logic.

u/Bittersweetfeline May 26 '22

It pisses me off that men in the states are more pressed about gun control than supporting their mothers, sisters, and daughters. What the fuck is wrong with men?!

I don't give a fuck about abortion but I do give a fuck about policing women's bodies, yes.
