Clearly - if owning these weapons is illegal, the parents have complicity (moral if not legal) in a crime. What the penalty is depends on the system and local laws.

It's interesting. I'm sure that if a similar weight of cocaine and heroin were found in the child's room - the fate of the parents would be clear.

(Oh... I'm not saying that guns are like drugs here... just that if kids had illegal X, it sounds like it will be treated differently than illegal Y. Where X is guns, and Y is drugs.)
