Yeah, wasn't there a whole army of folks opposed to my concept of parental responsibility for misdeeds of a minor child? At least it seemed like nobody was agreeing with me.
In this case the son was not a minor but I do still see responsibility due to the firearm possession scenario. Not so much as a parent here, but as one person knowingly transferring possession of a firearm to a wackadoodle.

Parental responsibility? Are you effing kidding me? The KID was 29. Hey, lets go get the granddad from the nursing home, he must be responsible for raising the dad so we should charge him.
Your reading comprehension isn't great. My first paragraph was about the prior thread. The second paragraph said (I'll paraphrase to make it more clear for you): This isn't a 'parental responsibility' thing but the dad should still be liable for giving guns to a known crazy person." It matters not that he was a dad in this case because it wasn't a minor (oh, I said that originally too) but one person giving another known crazy person a gun has liability.
I very clearly made it out that this was not the same type of situation. Read closer.
