First, not everyone who owns a firearm is a "gun nut". It is quite possible the children in his family have been taught to handle weapons safety, and local law enforcement confirms his firearm is properly secured.

2nd, while giving the computer away was a option, I don't think it would have made the point as well. Or gotten the attention.

3rd. There are few, if any, perfect parents. And what works well on one problem child may not work so well on another. Parenting is not an exact science.

I have got to side with the Dad on this one.
