Concerning the school shooting in Texas, if it is true that the 17-year-old who did the shooting was using his father’s guns, why doesn’t his father bear some responsibility for not keeping his guns out of his son’s hands?
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported: “Police say the man was suicidal and had taken his mother’s handgun. The mother told police that her son had left home in the 3300 block of West A Street ‘due to relationship problems with his girlfriend.’ After he left, the mother discovered her handgun was missing.”
Perhaps if the owners of guns are held responsible in some way for not keeping their guns out of the hands of someone who wants to use the guns to harm others, we will begin to see these shootings stop.
