Colin Gray Sentenced to 15 Years in Apalachee High School Case
A father who gave his son the gun he used to kill two students and two teachers at a Georgia high school has been sentenced to 15 years in prison
This guy's kid was named after a gun JFC
Absolutely deserves it. It should have been longer imo.
Wouldn't it be easier to forbid those weapons?
That’s still not long enough, but a start! Hopefully other horrible parents will understand you are responsible!
Good, I hope this sends a message to all parents! 💯
Well that is shockingly good
Good. May this set the precedent
The details of this case are so much worse than just "he gave his kid a gun" (no shade to the skeet or headline). This guy's actions were appalling. He had been specifically visited by the cops about his son making a school shooting threat -- and then gave him an AR-15 for Christmas.
Excellent work here, Georgia. Hopefully this sets a precedent moving forward where parents of school shooters can pay the price if they’re effectively accomplices to the crime like this asshole was.
yes yes yes!!! this is such a huge win. being a responsible gun owner means accepting the consequences that come with someone using a gun you gave them to end lives.
Good. People who buy their kids guns who then end up using them for murder should face more consequences like this.
More of this accountability, please
Good. Maybe these jackasses who think kids should have guns might think twice after this stiff ruling. Bravo to whomever handed that sentence down, it wasn't a slap on the wrist.
Good good. More of this please. Make parents nosy. It's their job. And when they are nosy wrong hold them accountable. May he face people who have lost loved ones to this kind of violence in prison. I have.
If you look up the transcripts of the calls between the mother and son then you know she belongs behind bars too. Gleefully describing to her son horrific right-wing memes of him with other school shooters.
Breaking News: The father of a teenager who fatally shot four people at a Georgia high school in 2024 was sentenced to 15 years in prison after a jury found he bore criminal responsibility for his son’s deadly attack.
This needs to happen more often when guns are negligently stored. Bravo.
Good. I hope the rest of these freaks that like to pose on Christmas cards with their kids holding assault rifles take the warning.
Daddy loved his guns more than his son
Now do the gun companies
Isn't the whole gun culture of the South criminally responsible?
As non-american, i can 100% understand the logic here. Giving a minor a weapon (quite litterly) is asking for absurd risks and consequences. Hoping people will be unharmed in a teenage brain - especially a troubled one is equal to wishing for world peace. I hope the great country will learn from it
More of this for parents who give their kids guns.
next do the gun manufacturer
In a more ideal situation I’d have some issues with tossing parents in jail for child crimes without associated crimes of their own but goddamn in a nation that refuses to do jack all else to stop this I say: toss every parent of a shooter into woodchipper.
I think a 5 year sentence would’ve sufficed but a verdict of criminal responsibility is just. A ban on all firearms not conventionally used in sport hunting is what we need but until then, punitive measures like this will have some deterrent value
Breaking news: Colin Gray, whose son shot and killed four people at a northern Georgia high school in 2024 with a gun Gray had bought him, has been sentenced to 15 years in prison.
Don't let that be your last haircut before prison
Parents who purchase weapons for minors who later commit crimes with those weapons absolutely need to be charged as well.
Bet most Americans are wringing their hands, worried this will hurt their RIGHT to buy, own, and kill with their precious guns.

About time we started holding these gun fondlers responsible.
It’s about fucking time! Parents need to held accountable for not being parents!
It's a start but I think his sentence should mirror his son's.
This guy perpetrated violence against his son. Then his son had multiple welfare checks, crisis check ins, and police investigations. He STILL bought him an assault rifle for Christmas. Fuck this piece of shit, let him rot.
MAYBE TEENAGERS & IDIOT DADS HAVING GUNS IS A STUPID IDEA? JUST A CANADIAN THOUGHT...
