Well, I never went on a shooting spree, but as a teen I did behave
irresponsibly with guns (by the standards that most people express). And they
weren't the .22 rifle that my dad had in his closet. They were used and
probably stolen guns that I obtained through a network of other kids in a
"rebellious or curious stage."
So I knew lots and lots of other teens who possessed their own handguns but who
didn't have parents with guns.
Was it your contention that only kids who have gun-owning parents get guns, or
that only kids with gun-owning parents go on shooting sprees? And in either
case, what do you supposed the causal connection is?
