Yes, it is a pretty sad commentary that a 16-year kid has access to guns.
That's why I was asking the gun company in 2005 if they could trace the serial number to see where the gun was originally purchased to try to understand if the legit gun distribution system was supplying guns to kids. Maybe they have a dirty dealer on their hands. Do you know if gun makers ever do this kind of research? BTW, in spite of this story, Massachusetts actually has one of the lowest gun murder rates in the country. I suspect this is true because because we also have one of the lowest gun ownership rates in the country.
