Yes we need to communicate with children , to try and detect and deal with issues, before it progresses to shootings. And yes we do need to take some precautions to keep firearms out of the hands of children. But the bottom line, is that no matter what we do to control access to firearms, it doesn't guarantee that a 17 year old won't get hold of firearms if they are determined to. And if they are determined to do harm to others, even eliminating firearms won't prevent that, as there are many other means to do harm to others.
