My posting above said: "What, if any, penalties should this boy's parents be facing if he got the gun from home? Parents have a responsibility to keep guns away from unsupervised kids."
Notice I said if he got the gun from home. And I don't think that anyone could disagree with my second sentance. That responsibility, IMHO, means that you teach your children about guns first. Then you take precautions to keep your guns locked up and safe. Then you just have to trust your kids.
Jeff is completely correct that we shouldn't point our fingers at the parents so quickly. I apologize if that is what you inferred from my posting. You can't watch your kids 100 percent of the time, I can't. But I am confident that if one of my kids were able to access a gun, any gun, anywhere, that they wouldn't do this with it.
Sbryce said His mental state is far more dangerous than the 9mm he was holding. This is the truth. Maybe we need to try and find out what's making our kids torture animals, then we'll be on the right path to solving this school shooting problem.
