You're trying to rationalize what the father did because of what one kid had a significant other do????
I just don't know what to say to you that could bring sanity to your reasoning.
It doesn't matter what gender either one of the three was, there is no excuse for what the father did. Was it terrorism? Absolutely not. That's an abuse of laws that were probably well intentioned, but were bound to be abused from the start. Just because one kid wanted to be with another kid that they cared about doesn't mean that they deserved to be shot at, let alone paralyzed.
That you keep trying to justify such irresponsibility on the part of the person who was supposed to be the oldest and most mature is despicable. If that's your moral standard please, for the sake of the rest of us, don't own firearms. If you do you should sell them now, as you obviously don't understand the responsibility involved with their possession.
I will reiterate that we have very little facts on this issue, and those who seem to know what was going on with this situation are very misinformed. I've tried here to give a benefit of doubt to the victims of this situation who, as the facts that we have state did not forward the situation to the point of violence.
Your baseless and paternalistic drivel belong in the dark ages along with the inquisition and such other forms of insanity.
