It is illegal for a 16 year old to buy or possess a handgun in California. So this is almost certainly his parents fault and both of them should be in jail right now and in hell thereafter.

People who are wrong are just as sure they're right as people who are right. The only difference is, they're wrong.

Roger Stone’s Claims of Jury Misconduct Denied by Trial Judge
In denying the defendant’s motion for a new trial, Judge Amy Berman Jackson observed the defense chose not to look for social media information. None of the seven lawyers or the two jury consultants on the defense team performed the rudimentary Googling that located this set of Facebook and Twitter posts: not during the two months they were in possession of the entire set of jury questionnaires with the jurors' names on them; not during the four to five days before trial when they knew the exact order in which the members of the jury panel would be questioned and seated as jurors; not during the two days of jury selection; and not overnight after the twelve jurors and two alternates had been picked and instructed to return the next morning to be sworn. With respect to the alleged bias of the jury foreperson who was critical of President Trump on social media, Judge Jackson shrugged at Stone’s "parade of adjectives," and noted that dislike of the president does not equal bias against Roger Stone, as "linking them together in a sentence does not make them one and the same."
