In lieu of the post below, I'll give a limited response.I think you are unable to see past the firearm somehow. Is it more dangerous than a vehicle?
What if the kid had stolen his parents vehicle and run over a bunch of classmates on the playground? Would you be clamoring for the car keys to have been locked up because the car was inherently dangerous?
What legit use is the gun at school?
Now, what legit use is the car at school?
How about scissors? (assuming he had gone on a stabbing spree) Once again, legit uses need to be considered. But then again, we arent talking about generalities.
THIS.Because that’s what we are talking about in this thread. Why is that so hard to understand? We aren’t talking about generalities. You are the only one doing that. We are talking about a specific set of people who performed specific actions and who need to be held accountable for those actions.
Everyone has a choice. The shooter had a choice. And he is solely responsible for the consequences of his choice. The parents had a choice. If their actions constitute negligence, they should be responsible for the consequences of that choice.
I don’t get why you are so hung up on make believe scenarios here. We aren’t talking about “what if’s”. We are talking about a specific case and the specific actions that each player made.
