If you are an irresponsible gun owner, you will pay the price if a crime is committed with your gun.
Jennifer Crumbley stares at her husband James Crumbley during sentencing at Oakland County Circuit Court, Tuesday, April 9, 2024, in Pontiac, Mich. Jennifer and James Crumbley, the parents of Ethan Crumbley, are asking a judge to keep them out of prison as they face sentencing for their role in an attack that killed four students in 2021.
The safety of our nation and our schools depends on responsible gun owners doing the right thing and keeping their guns out of the hands of their children. There are far too many mass school shootings because there are far too many mentally unwell students and far too many parents who are careless with their firearms.
They may not have given their child the firearms and said to go and commit a heinous crime, but not taking the necessary steps to secure the firearm or get their son the help he clearly, evidently needed makes them culpable for his actions, which could’ve been easily avoided if they acted differently.
It’s not enough to react to warning signs without taking proactive measures. Mental health issues require serious attention, understanding and action — within not just families but also educational institutions, health care systems and through legislative measures. The Crumbleys’ oversight is a tragic example of what happens when mental distress signs are ignored or minimized, especially when combined with access to weapons.
