School shooters (and the parents who purchase guns for their kids) are certainly disproportionately white. That's exactly why I worry that the law would be unfairly applied. Imprisoning parents of color whose kids got mixed up in a bad scene, rather than the people who purposefully enable murder

To be clear, the act I would want to see held criminally and civilly liable is providing weapons to children that those children then use to commit a crime, not generally holding parents responsible for their children’s actions
