Blaming guns is just another way to heat up this debate. These kids were responsible for their actions because in their retarded minds, they thought they were being cool.
But to really prevent this from happening again, let's do this: every parent can win millions with these kinds of lawsuits if they do the following:
Quote:
1) Give up any right to your children legally. Sign them over with no chances of getting them back. Winning the settlement requires this, no loopholes. You are too unfit a parent if you honestly believe your children is this stupid and you have 'no effect on his behavior.'
2) Your child--or ex-child--will be considered too retarded to interact with society and will spend the rest of his life in a drug-induced coma to prevent any further 'outbursts.' The coma will insure he receives no further 'inspiration.' If chosen, your child could be put to sleep at age 40 to prevent wear and tear on the American economy.
3) Both parents will be sterilized immediately. Since their child is 'uncontrollable' it stands to reason not to let these two people procreate anymore to produce more defective children. Both parents will field the expense of this punishment.
4) Fellow siblings will be sterilized and placed into drug-induced comas or on fifteen-year suspended sentence. Any criminal action will result in the former of those sentences.
5) All immediate family members will be moved to a detainment center in the middle of Montana, a five mile by five mile square of land in which, removed from the society they cannot be trusted to enjoy, they will live out their lives until dead. Extended family members will pay double their taxes plus a $10,000 yearly restitution which will incur fines if not paid by the due date.
6) All possessions (including stocks and bank accounts) will immediately be seized, excepting settlement which will be used to pay punishment fees (if applicable).

There. If people don't want to take responsiblity for themselves, they they should not be allowed in society at all. A bit extreme, but I doubt anybody will try to get rich after that. A few million dollars will hardly be useful if comatose or in the middle of nowhere to spend it on.
