Holy Gawd, what a horrific story about the 16 year old killing his family because of a quarrel about chores. I truly believe that private ownership of guns creates far more destruction than it does "protection". It's not just adolescents who have poor impulse control, IMO. That kind of temper-flaring impulsive behavior is in evidence throughout the population, particularly when alcohol's involved. I'm impressed to hear that you ask, and have been asked, about whether there are guns in the house when children go for a sleepover. It makes enormous sense to me. My grandfather was the Chief of Police in the town I grew up. His first son, aged four, found his gun in the bedside table and blew off his head while playing with it.
