Yeah, that's 'stealing' by definition and it's asinine to argue otherwise or claim that the word "steal" when used with a firearm is discrimination against the firearm.
And, those items you listed are not shared common household items for family use, like a chair or a table or a tv remote, obviously.
Anyway, if your kid stole your gun, it would not be 'criminal theft' unless you filed a police report and pressed charges against him (which the parents in this case did not do and nobody has claimed otherwise).
