As a responsible gun owner, there has to come a point where you need to take responsibility for who has access to your weapons. It appears in the case the parents granted full access to the weapons and I believe the father gave the son a 9mm for his 15th birthday. IDK about MI, but anyone under 18 can’t own a handgun.

Add to that, this kid was CLEARLY troubled and dealing with mental illness. As parents you’re either IGNORING this fact or not paying attention to it. The parents should be held accountable.

But…what will this decision trigger…?

What if a legally locked and secured firearm was STOLEN from your home and used in the commission of a crime?

Are you partially responsible for the crime?
