In all seriousness, and not just pushing buttons, of course parents of children (under 14) that kill themselves or others should be held accountable for their child. If they were negligent, they committed a crime. Such parents are often charged and found guilty. No matter where they live. Just because one state has safe storage laws and calls a death an accident and charges the parent, while another state declares it a homicide because they want to charge the parents, doesn't really matter. It's not about guns, it's about bad parents. Same as kids that accidentally ingest poison, or drown in the tub, or get left in a car on a hot summer day, etc.
