The gun owners of Oregon are clearly responsible for the deaths of these young teens.   They bear the majority of the blame here.  This is a very poor article, as it avoids talking about the white elephant that is in the room:  the easy access that teens in Oregon have to guns, that they can then use to reliably kill themselves with.

We need much tougher laws regarding the safe storage of firearms, so that troubled  young kids like these cannot get access to them.   Yet, the gun owners of Oregon have consistently fought against these common sense legislative efforts in our state legislature to control the availability of guns in our society.  

Teenage suicide will remain a big problem in Oregon, until we face up to the fact that we have a gun problem in our state.

Gun owners:  You have the blood of these children on your hands.
