Guns are tools in a vague sense, but calling them tools suggests you're equating them with other things generally described as tools which is using deceptive language to mask the violent nature of guns. I don't see many people killed by rakes, hoes, or phillips screwdrivers, so it's dishonest to call guns tools. Guns, specifically, are weapons. They are designed to have a primary function of doing harm. I don't know of anyone who uses guns to clean leaves or fix a broken dishwasher.

as has been said before, if guns cause violence, pencils cause spelling mistakes.
An inanimate object is neither good nor evil, peaceful nor violent.

I also see that almost no one is even answering my question of should parents be held accountable in cases like this?

damn right parents should be held responsible.
