Jennifer Crumbley, 45, was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in connection with the deadly school shooting carried out by her then-15-year-old son in 2021.

[…]

In the trial, Jennifer Crumbley testified that while “I don’t think I’m a failure as a parent” and “wouldn’t have” done anything differently in how she parented her son, she felt regret for what he did.

It’s about time a parent is held responsible. Maybe this will finally start moving a needle.

    The UK also doesn’t allow pistols anyway. Which is the first kind of gun that most people buy.

      Not strictly true.

      Pistols are allowed in Northern Ireland, and are subject to the same licences and regulations as rifles and shotguns.

      And there are some pistols that are designed to comply with regulations and can be bought.
