He said the gun was being tested to determine whether it could be matched to the slaying last week of 13-month-old Antonio Santiago.The new arrests targeted relatives of 17-year-old De'Marquise Elkins, who is jailed on murder charges. The slain child's mother, Sherry West, says she was pushing her baby in his stroller Thursday near their home in Brunswick, 80 miles south of Savannah, when a gunman shot the child in the face and wounded her after she refused to give money to him and a younger accomplice.Elkins' mother, 36-year-old Karimah Elkins, and his aunt, 33-year-old Katrina Elkins, were booked Tuesday morning at the Glynn County jail on charges of making false statements to police, a misdemeanor. Jail records show both women were released after posting bond."We arrested them last night and brought them back to headquarters, where we afforded them the opportunity to make additional statements," Doering said Tuesday. "They did, and that information led us to other witnesses ... (who) led us to an area where the gun was disposed of."------------------Looks like the women were protecting the boy---but where did he get the gun? I would not like to see the boy bear the whole penalty for this crime.Kids killing kids in cold blood...HOW DID THEY GET THE GUN?
Star Member marions ghost (13,197 posts)2. And that's what needs to changeView profile--and especially with cases where a child has used an adult's gun.Why should a 17 year old street kid (yes diabolical sociopath) take all the responsibility?He got an unsecured gun somewhere. We don't know where yet. That person needs to share the blame.You've got to do something to make gun owners responsible, because obviously, many aren't. This wouldn't affect responsible gun owners at all. Responsible gun owners don't allow it.
Discuss how to enact progressive gun control reform in a supportive environment. The group serves as a safe haven in which to mobilize supporters in support of measures reducing gun violence by changing laws, culture and practice at the municipal, state, and federal levels. While there is no single solution to the tragic epidemic of gun violence, members agree that more guns are not the solution to gun violence, and are expected to be supportive of the policies of progressive gun control reform organizations.
Eleanors38 (2,664 posts)9. Point of information:View profileAre "progressive gun control organizations" progressive because they are noted for their generally progressive policies, or because they are mere supportive of "gun control?" I have in mind the Brady organization, which was founded by Reagan-era Republicans. Thanks.

So did they do away with the old gun forum, or did the gun grabbers get pissy enough to get their own forum?
The gun grabbers got their own sty to roll around in.
But you know as well as I do that the iverglas primitive, now the Hoyt primitive, isn't going to roll around in that one.She's going to continue shitting in the old one.
It's like the DUmmies have a echo chamber within their echo chamber. It's really bizarre, even for primitives standards.
