personal protection?

I dont know what to say or feel...or maybe i know...as of now am feeling angry!Angry at what happened and could have been so easily avoided, and am talking about the Gurgaon school shootout.
No one seems to be thinking about the slain 14 year old abhishek tyagi, the focus is only on aakash and understandibly so. I am yet to digest the fact that the property dealer father actually forgot or left his revolver on the TV set at home, that the kid picked it up, hid it in his socks and later in the school loo to finally take it out and shoot a classmate!
I am not questioning the school's role here, for heavens sake its asking too much from the school to not having noticed a gun hid in the bathroom...dont we remember our school days when we hid all our comics there?
My question is only to the parents...they did not notice the entire day that the revolver kept on the telly was missing?
Also i do not want to say the cliched things of blame it on television, movies, etc....my point is simple, if a 14 year old kid understands that a gun at home...can be used, so easily, its simply because he must have at some point of time heard his dad talk about it frivoulously...literally drawing room conversation...after all it was lying right there.
This time round the father will have no time or chance to think about his folly and will have to live with his mistake and deflated ego all his life...a gun for what?personal protection? Excuse me...The kid at age 14 is booked under Section 320 and he has no idea what it means.
Surrender the gun...coz if its lying at home....someone might just use it.
