This is the area of "you can't do anything right". People bemoaned the fact that the graphic writings and drawings of Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris were ignored and if only the police had investigated their homes, if only Cho's mental illness had been reported to authorities so he would have been denied his guns....Yet, when the police respond to a report about kids and guns, they are over-reacting.

Did this father have the right to keep his guns in the house with this boy? We're pretty much only hearing the father's side, so, while it's tempting to say this was a ridiculous case, we shouldn't draw conclusions without knowing more.
