Well, that dad sure showed the FBI what he thought of their meddling in his and his son's rights. Now, let's hope jury of the dad's peers let the father know what they think of his parenting skills and his meddling in the right to life of four of his neighbors.

Ultimately anything can be worked around.
Most criminals with the intent to steal will target a home where the occupants are not home. They really don't want the risk of a person confronting them.

Ok, well that is a plan and you did answer my question. I would support that, but I'm skeptical that it would work in the US.
I would prefer that we first focus on consistent comprehensive national regulations around purchasing and owning a gun. Regulations that require training, define safe storage, and define transfer.

I do agree that we need a culture shift away from the culture that believes guns are a solution to problems and back to a culture of talking and working out issues.

I'm not sure.
There are many gun owners that just hunt or target shoot that are responsible with there guns.
We need to change the culture of those that believe a gun solved conflict, but how do we do that when our government seems to believe that they work for solving conflict?

Sadly, this stuff works. Trump has created an alternate reality for these people, where anything he says is true... and everything else is fake news. It's so creepy cult-like.

Note that whites make up about 75% of the US population, if you count white Hispanics like the offending rates do.Poverty is only part of the reason. The poverty rate amongst Black Americans is 21%. 10% for White Americans and Asians. So, you'd think that the violent crime rate for Black youth would be roughly twice that of White and Asian youth, but it is actually several times that. In 2020 (the most recent year I could find this data for), 58% of juveniles charged with murder were Black, 39% were White, and 1% were Asian. In 2020, the US was 59% White, 12.5% Black, and 6.3% Asian.

I see your last point. Of course, it would make a shit to most burglars if the dog was say a pit bull as opposed to a chihuahua.

Is there a mom in the picture? Haven’t seen any mention of her and whatever role she may have played in all this.

IIRC, somewhere I read that there was a divorce, and two younger siblings went with mom, and this kid stayed with dad.

She and dad separated, she has custody of shooter’s two younger siblings, he had custody the shooter. She apparently has drug use but not clear from what I’ve read whether addiction or poor decision-making. Her father says the marriage failed because dad has anger management issues and is verbally abusive. Still not clear how shooter ended up with dad instead of mom (maybe by choice?).

“…
Lawyers for Colt Gray and his father, Colin Gray, didn’t post bail, leaving them on track to remain in custody through their trials. The younger Gray is accused of carrying out the deadliest school shootingin more than a year. Four people were killed and nine were injured Wednesday at Apalachee High School in Winder, Ga.
Investigators said the older Gray allowed his son, who lived with him, to possess a weapon even though he knew the teenager was a threat to himself and others. The father faces up to 180 years in prison on charges of second-degree murder, involuntary manslaughter and child cruelty. He was booked into jail Thursday night, according to jail records.
The younger Gray faces up to life in prison on four felony murder charges. He could face additional charges, investigators said. Judge Currie Mingledorff of Piedmont Circuit Superior Court called the teenager back into the courtroom after his first appearance and reversed his initial statement that the younger Gray could face the death penalty. The judge said that because Gray is under 18, he isn’t eligible for the death penalty. …”
