The parents where not home at the time of the accident. To be honest I do not know if the gun was even his parents. There where a couple of teenagers in the home at the time of the accident. I knew him when he was younger and I know his mother very well and I know that if his mother would have been there she would not have allowed him to have position of the firearm.

Why are we not hearing anything about the parents allowing access to the pistol by a person who was obviously not old enough, informed enough or mature enough to be handling a firearm? Isn't there a law covering this? God knows we have laws for everything else.
