Unlike Florida Manistee County Law enforcement took the threat seriously.

Or was it because of Florida they responded?

The AR-15 apparently belonged to the parents, and it's not yet known whether the boy had access to it. You can't make jokes about such matters without paying some consequences. Glad to see Manistee authorities didn't kill anybody this time when they did the proper thing.  

The linked article said no name was released. So, it was Cullen Schafer? Very poor timing for anyone in the USA to make that kind of statement, whether joking or not. However, from the Devil's advocate stance: what about all the people making death threats against Trump? On social networks, concerts, rallies, all over the place. Some are even beheading dummies on camera to make their threats. How come they aren't being arrested and charged with a felony?

Per stats I just heard on the gun issue: in 2016 we had over 30,000 deaths due to auto accidents vs. about 14,000 due to guns. About 5,000 by guns were mostly illegal rifles, and of that less than 300 were by AR-15's so they are seldom used. That Cruz kid in FL. had been violent and gun crazy for the last 6-8 years, and everyone, including the Sheriff Dept., FBI, social media, classmates, relatives, and total strangers all knew it. He was expelled for making gun threats against that Parkland HS for that reason last year. He also was attending a mental facility in 2016 frequently, then quit in 2017. Anyone with any common sense and brain could see this was a terrorist type kid ready to open up on the school, and yet, no one did anything to prevent this tragedy.

Any gun can kill someone , It only takes 1 person 1 gun and 1 bullet. I just don't understand why AK-47 and AR-15 's are allowed to be in the hands of the general public. They are a military weapon made for one thing and they do a good job of doing it.  There not made  for hunting rabbits or deer or used in any so called sport hunting.  In all the years of my hunting, people had hunting rifles and shot guns .  I don't recall anyone with a new technology military weapon , and that's what they are.  Are rocket launchers next? how about a army surplus tank to drive down the avenue ?

Flu Deaths in the United States

The answer of course is different every year, but on average, there are about 36,000 flu deaths per year in the United States. This number includes people who die from the flu itself and those who develop complications from the flu - such as pneumonia - and then die from that illness. Far more people die from the flu and from home accidents.

Suicides account for most gun deaths and it's done mostly with pistols not AK-47s or AR-15. AK-47 is an old designed rifle, at least 70 years old. The AR-15 around 50 years old.

Stump, don't be so quick to give up your rights to own and possess certain firearms. I think the Constitution allows for any type of weapon. Even a tank if that is your desire. The left are going to chip away at the 2nd Amendment until it is eliminated. We should not give an inch on this. The AR-15 is not an automatic rifle.

It seems that all over the country kids are making threats about shooting up their schools. Are they that dumb that they think they won/\'t be caught? Every computer/phone text message can be traced back to the person who wrote the message. Parents have to talk to their kids and make them aware that they will go to jail. And as a side note probably bankrupt their parents trying to get them cleared of the wrong doing. Schools should also have a student assembly to make them aware of the criminal charges that will be levied against them. Give them the facts of ill responsible actions.
