I think that's going to be a harder one for them to succeed.

But I think the negligent homicide charges will be the real charge.

Do you think they should be charged, not just because their kids do it, but if they know their kid is potentially a threat and then they buy the weapon that they do it?

And apparently he didn't have it locked up, all these other facts.

So what is the act that you think the father did that makes him criminally liable?

Is it buying the gun?

Well, first of all, I would argue 15-year-olds don't need guns.

I might be in the minority on that, but I'm okay with that position.

I mean, we don't let 15-year-olds buy nudie magazines.

Do we need them to buy automatic weapon magazines?

I don't think so.

But let's just say you believe they should.

If the FBI has investigated them for a threat on a school...

You're kind of aware at that point.

So you are fine with him being charged.

It's only the second time in America that a parent has been charged for crimes that ultimately were committed by the kid.

See, I didn't grow up around guns, so it's hard for me to understand.

My grandfather had rifles, and he has a rifle.

He's got rifles from World War II.

So to the extent that I think one day I'll probably end up with those, I don't really know what I'm going to do with them.
