As someone who has both children and guns, this horribly sad story reminds me of the importance of good parenting, both in terms of raising a child who won’t do stupid, criminal things, but also who understands the potential risks of such behavior, including from horrendous misapprehensions of any given situation.

Rarely has a news story struck a chord with me as this one has…it’s the sort of thing I would not have really understood until becoming a parent myself.
