I wanted to make a similar comment. I had a hunter’s education course before I was allowed to touch any of our firearms (this was back in 99-01ish), and I feel like it gave me a similar level of respect that you seem to have. We’d all benefit from your level of responsibility from gun owners.
Supposedly there were several troubling signs leading up to the incidentThe father very well could have shown his son where the gun and key were (assuming it was locked up) and trained him how to use the gun in case he ever really needed to use it against an intruder or for some other seriously defensive reason. I don’t think it’s incredibly out of the ordinary to teach a 15 year old about guns and gun safety.
I’m doubting the parents anticipated their son was one of the very few crazies who wanted to shoot up his classmates. If they did know he was mental, or even if they should have known, then they certainly should not have a gun where he can get it and they bear some responsibility.
As I said above, I don’t give a fork if you’ve taught a 15 year old gun handling & safety since they were old enough to hold a gun. Their brains are still underdeveloped and they make stupid decisions - even the best of kids. If you are a parent and have guns, your child should 110% not be able to access them when you are not around to supervise.The father very well could have shown his son where the gun and key were (assuming it was locked up) and trained him how to use the gun in case he ever really needed to use it against an intruder or for some other seriously defensive reason.

And neitherThe flip side is that we don’t write our laws based on what the best among us do

Can you be mad about more than one thing at a time?Is there a problem with me if I struggle to even care about this shooting? Americans kill middle eastern families with drones all the time, and no one really cares. You have very deliberate killing on the one hand and just random murder to compare it to, and people just get upset about this teen committing murder, but there’s no real anger about deliberate US killing in the Middle East. It’s kinda crazy to the point that these US teens killing classmates is pretty much meaningless to me.
