    I’m not sure that works either, when some do have legitimate mental health issues and our mental health infrastructure in the country is a little weak.

    Ultimately I don’t think a punishment-and-fear paradigm is really the solution. The fear part just doesn’t work at the broader societal scale, and never really has.

      But when the parents are giving minors guns or teaching them how to use them then the parents should be held 100% liable for everything that child does with their given gun or gun knowledge.
