"As long as the parents in control of the gun, it's their gun"
Exactly. It's similar to the situation if the kid next door gives me his summer grass-cutting money and I buy a gun and put it in my safe - it's mine. He can say it's his, but it's not - I have possession and the paperwork to prove it. The money was a gift. If I give him the gun it's obviously a different story.
The same thing as if he gives me his money to buy a car. He can't own the car and I can't give him the keys. I've known 15-year-olds who paid for a car with saved money and had it sitting in the driveway waiting for the day they turned 16 and could drive. Or at one time 15.5 and could get a learners.
I drove on the D.C. beltway at 15.5. And got my license the day I turned 16.
