Arrest the parents and throw them in jail.

Parents? Was this a 2 parent stable family?

The dam will be arrested then.

The sire gets off scot free. Dam probably doesn’t even know who it is.

Arrest the parents and throw them in jail.

Parent(s). Plural? That's funny.

“Arrest the parents and throw them in jail.”

I’m guessing you would only be able to find one to arrest.

As for the British woman, we don’t have a gun problem, we have a government welfare-induced fatherless problem.

Due process says "Are you nuts?". Civil suit yes, criminal endangerment (Usually a misdemeanor offense at "best") yes. Gun laws concerning concealment/securing firearms, a felony, yes (No hard jail time at the moment though). Prosecuting for the actual wet work, no, opens too many cans of worms for the State/Feds to run wild with for persons isolated from intent. That is if the child took the firearm from home/parents btw.

What would your punishment for the parents be if the child got the gun from a third party? Just throwing that out there. Difficult case indeed.

I agree 100%. The child had a firearm because of parental failure. If the biological father was not involved in raising his child, charge him with neglect and abandonment too.
