and Huff Po said he had bought all seven of his kids weapons and taught them to shoot. Plus he still is a gun advocate as of today. Also has a Gofundme page to pay funeral costs. Perhaps selling a gun or two might help with that?

If that were true, then every firearm death would be a suicide, a murder, a justifiable homicide or an involuntary manslaughter. We'd never see any of this "no charges would be filed" stuff if gun owners were actually held responsible.

Yet that is being criticized here http://www.democraticunderground.com/10027979262

IMO should charges be filed- yes, and his statement of guilt entered into evidence.
