I'm not saying you're wrong, but these are all interrelated. It's not just about guns or just about parenting or just about access or just about a disturbed child. It's about all of them.
I think I can agree, but to a point. The biggest issue here was that this kid didn't have a safety net. Not only is that parenting 101, but that is just child psychology 101. I have worked with kids. I have taken classes on educational psychology, and I have had friends who have shown symptoms of depression and things like that. You have to have a way to get help to kids like this, and that is the only way to stop these kinds of problems. The best way to stop a problem is to make sure it never exists, and that starts with prevention at home by simple talk. Sad.
PS on an unrelated side note. Your avatar looks like the symbol for Ruger.
