I do have to question, however, why this mother had these guns in her house with a volatile child living there. She took him out of the school system and home-schooled him because he was not able to work socially within the school system. Children with aspergers can be very emotionally unstable. Yet one report said she took him to target practice with her.
Also... where did these deadly explosive bullets come from? If the mother just had these guns because she enjoyed target practice, why would she have these kinds of bullets? And if she didn't, and the kid obtained them somewhere, where and how?
Just my questions.

Good questions !
Hard for me to rationalize - not being in that situation. However, I would like to "think" that if my son/daughter had issues I would lock up my guns so no one but me could get to them. Of course all of this assumes that you, as a parent, recognize the problem your child has.
As far as the bullets - do not know if they were hers and not sure why she would have them. If he got them elsewhere - who knows?
