[QUOTE="Jcann, post: 3473013, member: 33119"] I saw the news report when this happened. The family knew the kid had a gun (15 years old). They didn't know where or how he had gotten it but they were concerned he had it. Now, I'm not an advocate of confiscating firearms, but if I have a child that has been a trouble maker (criminal past?) and has graduated to carrying a firearm that I knew he couldn't legally purchase; I'm either taking it away from him or I'm calling the police and have them remove it. In my opinion the family is culpable in their own sons death for knowingly allowing him to keep the firearm. It's always easy to blame someone else for your own mistakes or inactions and now they want to blame the police. I know we can't keep our children from doing stupid stuff but we shouldn't be an enabler through indecisions or inactions. I would hope if the kid would have been a suicide risk the parents would have acted with regards to the handgun? [/QUOTE]
