I think it's sad that this happened I think the gun is to blame in regards to her being dead however I don't think the gun is the reason she was killed
the child because thats what he is clearly has/had some serious problems and would have done violence in any case
the question of whether he would have been able to kill her is up for debate, if he had attacked her with a screwdriver it would have been harder for him to kill her and she might have had some chance to fight back, this is all theoretical nevertheless the idea that any child should be given a gun and ammo to be kept in their personal possession is ludicrous, the whole they don't/can't truly understand their actions is you* making that argument for me
personally I think the child should be in prison for life **and that the father should do some jail time as well
I think that the child says taking the car to the movies and gets in an accident is not an accurate portrayal of the idea, I think that the kid takes the car gets drunk and gets in an accident is an accurate portrayal of when the parents should also be locked up
if the child killed the mother with a screwdriver I think the father should not face jail time however because the child had easy access to and used the firearm to kill someone the father should
some of my not entirely on topic beliefs
-the idea of being able to have a gun in the house and completely deny any possible access to a child living in that house is foolishly optimistic
-All people should be required to take parenting classes when in high school
-the American prison system needs a major over haul either in the positive direction of rehabilitation or the "negative" severe punishment one
*not aimed at anybody in particular more at society with its laws regarding culpability
** see Boy A for a good movie experience as well as a glossy example of how you miss things in prison and to lock somebody up during their formative years is a bad idea
