25. It's certainly good practice

But a weapon stolen from a parent by a child living in the house is in another category, surely?

I hate to point this out, but there is at least a chance that the woman had bought the guns for protection FROM her son, and since she is now dead, it may be that they were not unattended at the time of her death.

It's worth a discussion, but I think we are fooling ourselves if we think that such a law could easily be enforced or that it may have prevented this particular tragedy. Maybe in the days to come we will learn more.

Parents of mentally ill children are sometimes faced with truly horrific choices, and at this time I am too heartsick to write more.
