Then teach kids respect for them. These boys are/were teenagers. They should have known a gun is not a toy.
I grew up with rifles in the house, my kids did to.
I've got grandkids that hunt.
Never never would any of us use a gun in the manor these boys did.

Maybe it's because we live rural and pretty much every house in 20 miles radius has firearms but I've never seen anyone parading around town with a rifle or a gun strapped to them.
