I certainly understand your trepidation, but please understand that there are a lot of us still around that took our guns to school. Run your traps on the way to school, small game hunting walking home.This is an exceptionally good discussion on a regrettably tragic incident.
I can't have a fair opinion on this woman's negligence without viewing all of the evidence in context for myself. I have a lot of questions about things like holding parents responsible for a kid's diary entries.
The jury foreperson focused on my main concern: free access to a firearm by a 15-year-old. Three types of people should not have access to firearms.
1. Violent felons
2. Those who are mentally deranged
3. Unsupervised minors
In today's world, a parent shouldn't allow free access to a firearm by a 15-year-old.

Not that long ago everyone that could drive (to school) had a gun rack in the back window of their truck. It was a right of passage to manhood.
I don’t believe age is the factor, it’s a societal change that’s an issue. JMO of course.
