this will be unpopular here, but I actually agree with this sentence. handing a minor a weapon, and then that minor committing a murder with that weapon, should absolutely be a manslaughter charge. this should apply universally.
They didn't "hand him a weapon" they bought him a gun to shoot with when they go to the range. He took it from the safe and committed murder. This is just ammo for grabbers pushing "safe storage" laws.
the question would then become: did the parents give the kid full access to the safe? if not, then the kid stole the gun and I agree the parents should not be charged.
