You're sounding more and more ridiculous with each defensive ad-hominem laced post, Gunnar.
The boy's parents and the police confirmed that the boy did not have the gun owners' (parents') permission to take the gun from the home. Thus, he 'stole' the gun. Just like if he'd secretly taken money from their wallets without authorization, he'd have 'stolen' money from them.
Why you wanna nit-pick semantics is beyond me. If you'd rather say "the minor male illegally borrowed his parents' gun against their previous directives and without authorization" instead of saying he "stole" it, fine by me.
But, keep in mind, the parents aren't looking to press charges against their own son for taking their gun. The state is considering pressing felony charges against the teen for illegally transferring his parents' gun to a minor who used it to commit premeditated murder.
