I’m highschool, i knew where every gun was. I could get in the gun safe. I could access weapons easily.

That is not my parents fault. That’s called me being resourceful.

Why is it the parents fault exactly?

Lets see... did you have a fascination with torturing and beheading animals. Did you keep the heads in jar in your bedroom. Did you discuss hallucinations and fears of demons in your home? Did your teachers find your notebook fantasizing about killing people? Did you practice making molotov cocktails at home? During these events did your parents buy a you a handgun?

This wasn't simply the case of otherwise normal acting young man losing his shite one day and taking his fathers hand gun from the gun safe. To that point though, if you allow your minor children access to firearms you should damn well be aware of their mental state and take precautions if need be. These folks were over the top in their negligence and even appeared to be planning to go on the run after the incident.
