I understand your concerns for your first point, but buying "an AR-15-style rifle as a Christmas present and allowing him access to that weapon and ammunition despite warnings that his son was a danger to others", or (in the case in Oxford, MI shootings), a SIG Sauer 9mm handgun, for teenagers, whose ages were 14 and 15, respectively, is something parents should bear some responsibility for, and should have control over (like locking up the firearms), dontcha think?


We agree for the most part.  Parents are and should be held accountable for things like this when it is shown that they had knowledge or participated such as actually purchasing the firearms.  I just had to throw in the part about the teachers to make my point about how bad things really are.

You have lost your ability to rationally compare issues.  

Notification laws on violent behavior are to protect others.  Buying a minor a weapon (which they can't buy on their own), and then not protecting others from that weapon after being warned that your child is potentially violent is negligent and against the law.  

Transition laws are intended to protect the child. It matters not if you agree or disagree, but those laws are designed to protect the safety and privacy of the children, including from a place where they might feel at risk: home.  It's the law.

It's not an issue of parental rights, it's an issue of safety... one personal... one public... on two entirely different issues that just so happen to impact school children and their parents.  They are laws.

GOP Senator Yells at Kristi Noem Over Handling of DHS and Dog Murder
“I wanna submit this letter from the Office of the Inspector General that cites 10 different instances under Ms. Noem’s leadership where they’ve been misled and not allowed to pursue investigations that they think are critically important. Does anybody have any idea how bad it has to be for the OIG in this agency to come out and do this publicly? That is stonewalling, that’s a failure of leadership, and that is why I’m calling for your resignation."

I never cared for, or voted for Tillis, but he's one of our Senators here.  He's retiring and leaving what will be a hotly-contested Senate seatApparently he's run out of f℧⊈♄s to give.


Or he sees the handwriting on the wall and wants no part of that, even if only by association.

The organization was hemorrhaging numbers, the last time I checked. It's often a struggle to get adults involved. I know a woman who has a son and daughter in Scouts and she told me that the rules now forbid any adult being alone with a child—so when she accompanies her kids on a camping trip, she has to have another adult with her at all times. BSA also got hijacked by the right when it moved its headquarters to TX and that turned people off. 

I was a senior patrol leader of my troop and did everything to get the Eagle badge. (I declined to have a ceremony honoring my achievement so they wouldn't award me the badge). That troop no longer exists because we had a string of adult leaders who did nothing and a growing number of kids who didn't like the uniform or Scout's pledge or even outdoors stuff. That troop fell apart really fast without adult leadership. 

The last time I checked, BSA wasn't really offering technology-oriented badges or programs.
