A 16 year old? WTF MAN
I’m biting my tongue until more information comes out.
If it’s the parents’ gun take their fake gun rights away. If not charge the lik shit as an adult
Kortney Francese see how safe it is?
Hmmmm, Asbury Park. Nuff said.
Edward Good we have good and bad everywhere, asbury has come a long way, now seaside on the other hand…. really bad
Idiot kid.
But but but the Democrats passed a Law that doesn’t allow 16 yr olds owning handguns in N.J.. So how could this happen? Maybe it’s not firearms but the black community instead.
That’s terrible!
Great… Another excuse for over-emotional gun grabbers to try and put more restrictions on our rights, despite NJ already having some of the strictest gun laws already.
Always the guns fault never the moron shooting it
