The root of all problems with guns
I was doing a reply to the post about "Cops handcuff and interrogate boy, 7, for hours over missing $5: family" http://www.democraticunderground.com/10022285356 when I realized I had presented the perfect case why assault rifles should be banned. I was talking about my son:
I do not believe in corporal punishment. I take away things he wants and send him to his room, but he still does not listen, or attend school if he feels he has something better to do. He is now 15 and I am very worried about him. He hits his *girlfriend* and always gets in fights that are *never his fault*. What can I do. I have sent him to psychiatrist but he will not talk to them. He knows I will never hit him, so he has no respect for me or anyone. A little police terror might get his attention.
I have been dealing with this for five years. He knows that I love him, and he is not a bad kid. He just loses his temper rapidly when he feels he is disrespected. Why he hits his girlfriend, I do not know, he certainly did not learn that from me. He is a good looking, even handsome, boy and she gets jealous when he talks with other girls. He says she has to know her place. I tell them both, they are too young to be more then friends, but it goes in one ear and out the other and never stops in the brain. I think I have spoken to every therapist in town. He is smart and he knows it, gets straight A's in school, although he does not attend half the time, and dismisses therapy as just being mumbo-jumbo. If you take every bad thing you heard about Mitt bossing people around when he was young, that is my son. The world has to follow his rules, he does not have to follow the world's rules. This is why I wish the police would put a little respect and terror in him. I do not know what I can do!!!
I have never been a gun owner and have no weapons in my home. My son has never shown an interest in guns. But what kind of fear would I live in if I had weapons in my home and my son had an interest in guns. This is something we should think about. My son is not crazy, he gets into a lot of fights but it has never been something bad enough to involve the police. He does not fight on school grounds. Right now it only involves bloody noses and black eyes, but what if he had access to an AR-15.
Holy Smoke!! This 'tard can't control his own 15 year old kid so we must take firearms away from EVERYONE! I got news for you DUmmie, it isn't the government that should be putting respect into YOUR kid. If I found out my son had ever hit a woman/girl he would have an ass whooping coming from me and if I couldn't do it I would pay someone to do it for me.

12. I am his Step-father and entered his life when he was eight years old
View profile
His mother had to work and he was raised by his grandmother for his first eight years. I am 16 years older then his mother and tried to be a friend to her three children first. I have never had any children of my own, before becoming a father to them. I always respected them as little people who can be reasoned with and never said "because I said so". I never lost my temper with them and always explained why they were being punished. This is one reason I do not understand his issues with anger, he was the middle child, and I have never had any problems with the other two. I was never religious so I did not require the go to church, although their grandmother was very religious and I know they went to church when they lived with her.
Yeah, that's what all parents need to do ... be there kids friend(s).
You can't always reason with a child DUmmie. They are children and YOU are supposed to be teaching them.
I don't think DUmmies will ever realize that some people are just bad. There are some people who just are evil and there is no other way to explain it.

36. sorry but...he sounds like a sociopath
View profile
you seriously need to get him help.
Best of luck
My thoughts exactly except for the 2nd part. You can't help a sociopath. That's one of the evil ones I was talking about above.
Here's a fun exchange!

3. Why should you take my guns away from me, because your son is troubled? N/T

6. Because people like my son exist

My son is not the only *troubled" young man out there. To many people he is very successful and is a role model. They have no idea the number of fights he gets into.

27. Anyone who has been convicted of a violent crime should be on the NICS list.
View profile
At present, due to age, he can't legally buy a gun. His GF should press charges against him for hitting her. And laws on who is on the NICS list should be broadened.
But that is no reason to try to take my guns away from me. I am now a senior citizen and have been around guns for my entire life with no problems.
That's right. This kid should be a felon and never allowed to own guns! I somehow don't think this 'parent' is going to be up for that though. He doesn't want the kid to be punished, the rest of us need to be punished.

22. The Root Of The Problems Right Here...
View profile
Instead of looking at what might be a turbulent person who would abuse a weapon and end up taking someone's life, all that matters is "taking MY guns away from ME". There's nothing in that post that mentions that, but it's the leap that's automatically taken when a situation like this is brought up. The son of the poster sounds like someone who should be monitored for anger issues and could be a danger if allowed to legally purchase a weapon. A strong case for both background checks, but all that is being "interpreted" here is .we're gonna "grab guns". Yet another example of people talking past one another and why this murdering spree will continue...
Ok, I guess KT here has a reading comprehension problem and missed this part of the OP;
when I realized I had presented the perfect case why assault rifles should be banned. I was talking about my son:

24. Cause He Has An Opinion...
View profile
...and while decorum around this place has gone to shits, I still like to afford the person the benefit of the doubt. So do you think his son should be allowed to purchase or own a firearm? I don't care if its automatic, semi-auto or instant reverse...it's still a gun in dangerous hands. There's the issue...or do you think gun laws should be one-size fits all?
Uhm how about NO you DUmbass. This kid should be turned into the cops for abuse of his girlfriend and he should not be allowed to own firearms! There are laws to prevent this sociopath from owning but they are being skirted because no one is calling the cops.
Watch how this evolves into it's the 'gun owners fault'!

28. ... until he breaks into your house and steals your gun ...
View profile
... and takes it (along with other fun stuff he's stolen and stockpiled) to a shopping mall or other crowded place & wreaks havoc.
Then what?
Then the little son of a bi**h gets put on death row because no one cared enough to turn his ass in when they had the opportunity!
There's more and it's probably going to grow.
