Without prosecution -- as you propose Gunnar -- the teen would get off scot free.
A plea deal resulting in a stint in juvie and probation, reduction to a misdemeanor charge, community service and a fine....all would be the result of a prosecution.
What you're proposing now conflicts with all your previous drum banging, "don't pass new laws about locking guns up, enforcing the existing laws and responsible gun ownership is all that's needed!"
Well, the kid stole a gun from his irresponsible parents and it was used to kill two people. Now, you say, "hey, screw the existing laws, it's just a teen thing and the guilt is punishment enough." Pffft.
