Her original online letter complaining against her dad sounded juvenile tantrumous and disrespectful. However, her dad's response was even more bratish and brutish. Shooting her laptop?! A gun isn't meant for that. No, don't get me wrong, I don't mean her dad should shoot her. A gun is for self defense in violent situations. My years in US, I've realized that some of them blessed with gun ownership constitutional rights don't understand and appreciate what the laws and rights are for and abuse guns like adult macho toys. A dad's duty should be finding out what went wrong, talk it over, counsel her and work things out.
