michigan-mom-arrested-for-buying-guns
A mom in Michigan has been arrested after she bought guns for her 30-year old son who had threatened to kill Democrats, including President Biden. The son had been receiving mental health treatment and was barred from purchasing or owning guns, but the mom bought them for him anyway, even though she admitted that his mental health treatment wasn't working and that she was "scared" of her son. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what happened.

A Michigan mother has been charged and faces up to 10 years in prison for buying five guns for her 30 year old son. After this 30 year old son, had made death threats against prominent Democrats in including President Biden himself. Now, here's the thing. In 2012, this woman's son had been put under an involuntary psychiatric hold by authorities. So 11 years ago, he had a mental health episode and had to be involuntarily. And that's important, obviously, uh, put under psychiatric evaluation. At the conclusion of that involuntary hold, it was determined that this man is in fact not mentally well. In fact, um, they, they declared him officially incapacitated mentally. And because of that distinction in the state of Michigan in 2012, he was effectively barred from owning guns. You know, it's the red flag laws like this guy is mentally incapacitated and therefore he can't own guns.
Like he is a danger, he's a danger to himself, he's a danger to other people. He can't own guns. The mother, I guess sometime maybe in the last year, decided that even though she told police she's afraid of her son, and she said that his therapy is not working, she bought him the guns anyway, right? 'cause she was scared of him. I'm scared of him. So let me buy five guns for him. You know? So that way he goes from just being a scary person to a scary person with five guns, because somehow she thought that made sense, even knowing that her son had made these threats. Now, as I said, uh, uh, the woman has now been arrested. She faces up to 10 years in jail, and, uh, her son, of course, has been arrested for illegal possession of a firearm. Uh, as far as I know, he has not been charged for the death threats that he sent against, uh, uh, president Biden and Michigan Governor, Democrat, uh, Gretchen Whitmer. But we saw recently, you know, the f b I had to go raid the home of an individual, posted pictures of himself as an old guy, uh, uh, with his guns, you know, threatening to kill Biden. He ended up getting shot and killed by the F B I.
These people are not just headlines, these dangerous individuals that get their hands on all kinds of f fire power, while also threatening
Democrats. They're very real. The threat is very real. And this mother contributed to this potential danger. Like that is, that is just nuts to me that she did that. Even after admitting she was scared, admitting to police that, oh my God, he should be, you know, just committed because of his mental incapacity. Like I just, everything about this story blows my mind. But what's even worse is that I promise you, there's more of these cases out there that have not been revealed, right? Because the people haven't been caught. So that's it. We just live in a society where you just always have to be looking over your shoulder. 'cause you never know when somebody that shouldn't have a gun got one, whether they got it legally or illegally, because that's just how prevalent guns are in our society today. Not exactly a message of hope to end on, but I don't exactly have much hope for this country on this issue whatsoever.
