    In the official story from the FBI, the dad confronted his son about the gun used because the dad thought it looked like a gun that the suspect had gotten as a gift. Are guns typically given as gifts? I’m trying not to make assumptions about the suspect’s background, but that struck me as odd.

      Yes. I’d say that is a very common practice. Especially since the gun belonged to the grandfather. Regardless of political background most white, rural families have heirloom guns.
