Buying a rifle for your 14 years old son isn't really a good idea

That's like saying people shouldn't eat Pretzals because one person choked on it.

Aside of which how would that work?  His DAD bought the gun.

Besides what makes you think he'd fail a psyche test?  You don't even know the motive.  Chances are he came from an abusive family.  "Politest kid you'd ever know" and other reports of him having a regressed mentality?  Also apparently the police "made insignificant visits to the house before."

It'd be interesting to hear what those were about.

Crazy people don't usually just mass kill people then turn themselves in unless driven by stress 9 times outta 10... which isn't something you are going to find on psych evaluation.

Well I don't know how things are over there, but over here the dad would go straight to jail. If you're a gun owner it's illegal to let anyone else but yourself use your gun, and minors aren't allowed to even touch firearms.

As for the stress thing, well some people are more psychologically weak than others, and are more likely to crack. I'm sure that a psychiatrist could make that out.
