The Georgia jury was not so forgiving of a parent who gave an AR-15 to a 14-year-old child. They are only the second jury in American history to find a parent guilty after their child went on a shooting spree at a school.

The legality of these highly dangerous weapons is due to a mix of constitutional rights, public safety concerns, and decades of changing legislation.
