Long story short, I wound up finding my 15 year being close friends with a boy of similar age who claims to have a supposedly real 9mm pistol.. pic related - recieved the picture from another friend of his, who got it though a group chat, who is also concerned about his well being
Friends, I wish to protect my cousin, he has exhibited a cringey love for gangster culture - the violence, weed, etc. I just want to make sure he's safe.
Thanks all

Mind your fucking business. Goddam snitch.
>>34325406
15 year old boy. Get real
What are you, the gestapo?
>>34325394
buy a 1911 .45 counters and beats 9mm
invite him to the range

A caring concerned who doesn't want his cousin lost to a meaningless shootout
Perform a load check first and foremost.
Just place the end of the barrel in your mouth and pull the trigger.
If it goes off it's real.

Oh so you're just a drama queen. Fuck off to reddit with this bullshit.
>>34325394
Ask him what set he reppin an pop dat foo iffin he dizrespek u.
Damn son I wish I had a cool friend with a gat when I was 15. Tell him I said he fucking rocks.
>>34325394
Why the fuck would you come to 4chan for a question like this you fucking retard.
>>34325428
A caring concerned would teach the homies to win the shootouts
You ain't hood
>>34325394
Tell him if likes owning guns, to stop fonding over behavior that will likely end with his inability to legally own a gun.
I don't know how old your cousin is, but a reminder to grow up should be in that conversation as well.
>>34325394
Get the fuck off our board you statist gun grabbing piece of shit
>>34325394
Hard to tell with that quality of picture. Awesome is crazy realistic these day. I've fooled /k/ on a multitude of times with mine.
Get him to take a safety course, if he is really interested in firearms ownership.

If you're so worried about it then contact the authorities or the kid's parents you dumbass.
>>34325428
Teach him small unit tactics and flanking maneuvers.
Also make sure his shootouts are always meaningful.
So basically your cousin is a faggot who wants his bum plugged in prison, yeah?
Just tell him to join the military. He'll get all that violence out of his system in a LEGAL way.
Plus weed is legal in a shitload of states. If he can't wait to just move out of your house to a state where it's legal then he doesn't deserve it.
>>34325394
Assuming this isn't bait, the only reason he likes it, first and foremost, is because he's a teenager.
Secondly, it's mysterious, new and exciting. There is a mystique around firearms similar to alcohol that just isn't justified. A gun is a tool and booze is a fermented drink but in America people go crazy over both. Take your cousin to a gun range, a gun safety course and start dispelling the mystique around firearms. The sooner he realizes that it's just a tool, the better he'll be. More exposure is better in this case, not less. Try and hide guns and act nervous around them will only make him more curious.

Odd, most of the guys I grew up with had guns before the age of 10, and non of us have killed anyone because we aren't inner city retards
>>34325427
>This
You want to keep the lines of communication open and encourage them to behave in the most responsible manner possible
>>34325666
Yeah it is most likely an airsoft gun

looks like a beretta 92, but could be a airsoft clone with the tip painted. Either way, fucking CHILL. I've had handguns since I was 14 (parental gifts not illegal), and I can tell you guns are not the problem. If he's a wannabe gangbanger, not being near a kid with a gun isn't gonna change that. He will find a way to do shady shit. He's also a fucking teenager, I had a lot of obsessions with shady shit but that doesn't mean I got into them, I just thought they were fucking cool. If you're actually worried, find a gang prevention program. But the gun isn't the problem
>my 15 year old
>my cousin
Which is it? Are you his cousin or his father?
>>34327729
Well, billy joe, there's a simple explanation for that
>>34325394
If he's wanting to go out and commit crimes he's gonna do it
Tell him if he's gonna be an idiot, don't be an idiot. Explain guilt by association to him. Don't get caught. Especially don't get caught with the wrong people.
When he grows the fuck out of it maybe he won't have a record.
If you want to take further steps find him a fucking therapist or as another anon said, a gang prevention program.
