Average age of shooter was 16
“It’s not really about gun ownership”
More than half of the shooters got the firearm they used from a family member or a relative. About 30% got a weapon from the illegal market, while 22% obtained weapons from friends or acquaintances.
So 70% got it through someone who legally owned the gun already, and 30% bought it illegally. A 16 year old cannot purchase a gun legally.
SURE SEEMS LIKE PEOPLE OWNING A GUN IS A FACTOR, THEN, HUH
Never thought I would see the day where Google crumbles, but they’re actively sprinting towards it now.
