However, I do not think this will entirely solve this problem.

Isn't this guy 19 years old? Was there a legal reason why his parents would have to lock up guns with him around? If not, why on earth would the parents (or anyone else besides the 19 year old) be in any real trouble unless they were co-conspirators. A 19 year old is an adult, not a child. Besides that, they lock up much younger people (actually children). I don't agree with jailing minors, like they do. I believe minors should be handled in a much kinder way than adults. But again, this guy is 19. He's not a minor, even if he acts like one. Am I misunderstanding you? Do you think a 19 year old is a minor?
