So parents who aren't responsible enough to secure their own firearms shouldn't hold any blame? Because I'm starting to see a reoccurring theme in cases like this and I think it's time to start giving these people jail time and serious fines.

This kid didn't buy these firearms (shotgun and .38 revolver)..his dad did and his dad failed to control possession of them. For Christ's sake buy a damn gun safe and keep your wacko son away from the firearms.

Same thing happened with the waffle house shooter who had his guns confiscated and given to his father only to have his father turn around and give them right back. Both of these cases were entirely avoidable if the parents were simply more responsible. Gun ownership is a privilege and a great responsibility..if these people can't handle it then they deserve legal recourse and the loss of that responsibility.

Control your weapons and lock your guns up.
