I think the sad indictment of America's gun culture is the comments at the end from the police stating they havent laid charges as they are still researching the law. I'd say reckless endangerment and involuntary manslaughter are two obvious ones in a sane world.

I remember "borrowing" my friend's older brother's 9mm Smith and Wesson when I was about 15. I was twice as old as this kid and it had a kick and a half.
I thought when I saw the headline that some poor kid had found his Dad's uzi and had an accident with it. To discover that it was supervised...... wow..... just wow.
