Assuming the parents were the owners of the gun. Nowhere does it say who owned the gun. The 15 year old was charged with possesion of a firearm after a felony. He could quite easily have brought it with him. As for allowing their child to hang out with a felon, they most likely didnt know. She is 14. 14 year olds rebel. I most certainly did, as do almost all kids at some point. To read this story and assume they are lying to cover for the NRA is just wrong. There are many, many things that may have happened there and it is absolutely ridiculous to blame guns for this. Guns dont kill people, people kill people. If guns kill people, does that mean pencils misspell words?? BTW if your so worried about gun sales you should have obama impeached. He is, afterall, the reason gun and ammunition sales have jumped astronomically this year.
