And I will teach them even more about responsibility.

I am saying it is the parents' fault for not instilling better values, starting at a much younger age then they are now (if they are even still kids). It is the parents' fault that the kid was not thinking "maybe I should not pull the trigger on that couple riding their bikes". If they didn't have a gun, they would find some other way to harm other people for kicks.
