Second Season. Title Guns are Us.

There is an eposide where Matthew's friend's older brother was bullying him and Matthew. So Matthew and Zach shoot him with a potato gun which they made. Then the younger brother who used to be Matthew's friend bought a gun to Matthew's school and almost paralized and killed him. At the end Zachary goes to his dad's closet, he takes some keys, then he goes down opens a desk drawer and takes his dad's gun and pretends to shoot it before locking everything back up. Well since the younger brother was already in juvenile Hall and they already got revenge against the older brother and felt guilty about it Zachary had no one to get revenge on, so was there a bully he was planning to shoot and he decided not to after what happened to Matthew's episode. It does not tell you much because right after he unlocked the drawer and pretended to shoot the gun it showed the closing credits.

Fun Fun Fun

It's called dramatic effect. They ended the show after Zachary found the gun to give a message that it is very easy for a child even Zachary's age, and younger to get access to a gun and that is why there is so many shootings and killings in schools. They end it at that time to give the message of how easy it is for kids to find guns.

I think that was the episode before the kid gets sentenced to juvi, so I thought he was considering finding a way to shoot the kid.

I think Zachary was imagining himself shooting the boy who shot his brother. Even after all that had happened, he's a young and impressionable kid. He probably thought that maybe it was his duty to take that kid out. It's lucky for that kid that Zachary was smarter than him.

Note to all of the gun owning parents out there: No matter how clever you are, your children will always know where your secret hiding place is. Sorry, but it's the truth.

I think the scene was meant to show how easy it was for a child to get ahold of a firearm.
