Family Of MD School Shooter Are Staunch 2nd Amendment Folk

Found this at Daily Mail:

As Rollins identity came to light, it was revealed that one of his relatives was worried about his safety after learning about the attack.

'Prayers going out for my Brother in Law [redacted] and his family, his son Austins school was involved in an active shooter situation. We have still not heard if Austin Rollins is ok or not,' one close family member wrote.

The Rollins clan appears to be a gun-friendly family.

Another close relative wrote on Facebook in 2011 their support of the Second Amendment.

'We ask that all gun owners put this on their wall. The Supreme Court of the United States has affirmed that the right ot keep and bear arms is a fundamental right of the individual. If you believe in the 2nd Amendment, and you are not afraid to show it, re-post this!!! ... I hope to see this re-posted a lot by my friends. Remember, if we outlaw guns, then only outlaws will have guns.'


They'll probably be relieved to hear that their gun is safe.

1. Not unusual, sadly. Gun dads nowadays take great pride in introducing their kids to gun culture and

all the ugliness that goes with it.

2. They need to go back and read the Heller case again, if they ever read it in the first place.

It says that under the 2nd Amendment individuals, not just militias, have the right to keep and bear arms - BUT it also says there can be reasonable restrictions on gun ownership:

Like most rights, the right secured by the Second Amendment is not unlimited. From Blackstone through the 19th-century cases, commentators and courts routinely explained that the right was not a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose. ... Although we do not undertake an exhaustive historical analysis today of the full scope of the Second Amendment, nothing in our opinion should be taken to cast doubt on longstanding prohibitions on the possession of firearms by felons and the mentally ill, or laws forbidding the carrying of firearms in sensitive places such as schools and government buildings, or laws imposing conditions and qualifications on the commercial sale of arms.

3. The 2A is definitely not the obstacle to strict national gun control

the lack of deep and wide public support on the other hand.....

4. The irony is thick.

So glad this law-abiding citizen was not prevented from having a gun, so he could come to the aid of his innocent classmates. Oh. wait....shooting up your ex-girlfriend probably makes interferes with that law-abiding thing.

In all seriousness, however, I don't like that the SRO ending the incident by killing this kid will be touted as a reason to put more guns in schools.

5. They probably dislike cops for fear theyll take their guns

They’ll say the officer had no right to shoot him as he was just exercising his freedom.
