    And his mom is a police officer.

    And he used one of her unsecured guns.

    In a system where we want to discourage this we need to hold the parents accountable.

    I think a life sentence for each life her son took is fair, for her and her son.

      irresponsible gun owning parents, who literally put firearms into the hands of their homicidal children, need to be held accountable for these tragedies.

      dozens of mass shootings in recent years, especially school shootings, were absolutely preventable. if only these fucking lazy stupid ass adults would stop fetishizing guns for 2 seconds, long enough to store their weapons securely like a sane responsible person. or they could, idk, maybe steer their mentally disturbed crotch goblin towards a more pro-social, harmless activity?

      firearm ownership is a responsibility too few take seriously.

      Why not life sentences for grand parents too? Uncles and aunts? Doctors, teachers…

        If a gun owner’s gun is used in a murder, the owner should be charged with second-degree murder, full stop. When you own a gun, it is your responsibility to keep and secure it properly. I don’t care if it’s stolen or whatever, that gun is ultimately the responsibility of the owner. That’s the social contract when acquiring a device whose sole purpose is to kill.
