We have often written editorials in support of more gun control regulation, including banning assault weapons. Earlier this year we wrote in support of the conviction on four counts of involuntary manslaughter of Mrs. Jennifer Crumbley, mother of Ethan Crumbley, who killed four students at Oxford High School in Michigan in 2021. Her husband was also convicted in a separate trial. They were the first parents of a school shooter held criminally liable for their child's actions. At that time, we were pleased that if we could not secure more gun regulation because of partisan resistance, at least the zone of criminal responsibility would widen to include holding parents criminally responsible if the facts demonstrate negligence or aiding and abetting heinous acts by juveniles.
