Why does the victim's family member believe Colin Gray should remain in jail?
According to the victim's family member, Gray and his son carried out an act of terrorism by purchasing a gun for his son who subsequently used it in a school shooting that claimed four lives. The family member firmly states that Gray should remain incarcerated due to his direct contribution to the tragedy through this gun purchase. The statement reflects the sentiment that parental negligence and enabling access to the weapon makes Gray complicit in the violence. This case represents a significant moment in establishing legal accountability for parents in gun violence incidents, with the victims' families seeking justice rather than freedom for those they hold responsible.

Are Wolverine claws legal and what makes them potentially dangerous?
The Wolverine claws featured in the video are extremely sharp weapons that can easily pierce objects like a watermelon. Unlike the retractable claws in the movies (which would be classified as switchblades and illegal in some US states), these appear to be fixed blades. The host emphasizes they "should be illegal" due to their dangerous sharpness and lack of practical purpose beyond cosplay or novelty. Their ability to cause harm makes them a concerning product that raises questions about safety regulations for novelty weapons inspired by fictional characters.
