But I think guns are an exceptional case. I don&#39;t think parents should be held responsible if a kid uses drugs or hangs out with the wrong crowd or posts something on social media. But access to a gun is something that a parent might be able to monitor without having to be super controlling. 2024-09-05T11:22:12Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsdvph86j47uvmwkvdtzqe4cjuw6jm9tre0s20s27relm5wme8w7rczyzek0es45cetcaxpy4ganmezc6jdg0ptdzezr3g879maz42c3uf5svhlwf8 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqszg6h5muueru7gf4zyrtzeddqutvn2spt9z9fthp9z3j2epjmng3gaq272v'>nevent1q…272v</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>why not always charge the parents with felony murder and let them defend themselves in court.
