But the crux here isn't that they knew their son had stolen a gun, or gotten one from a friend. The argument is that there were numerous red flags, and these parents decided to go BUY a gun for their son.Not equal but both are bad. If you 100% know your kid has a gun, and you look the other way that's worse. Most of these parents would just deny knowing anything if they were to be convicted though.
"If you 100% know your kid has a gun" still isn't as bad as buying a gun for a child who has asked you for help for his mental well-being. Kind of hard to deny you knew they had a gun when your signature is on the paperwork to buy it.
