If I actually tried to kill someone with a rock from a distance greater than 3 meters, people would be more likely to laugh at me than run screaming. And if I would kill for a $60 videogame, imagine how obsessed I would be about my $20,000 car.

Except he wasn't 3 meters away. He wasn't 3 feet away. He was right next to the father.

Edit: He also valued his vengeance over his son's life. A child's life is valued far higher than a $4000 junker (see I can make up random prices too!)

Many of those items would be conviniently located. All the same, your argument falls into the "not a fair fight" category and that is not a good defense.

it's not about a fair fight, it's about a kid getting away with his life.  If the dad grabs a knife has got a chance to get away.  You can't get rid of things like knives that have many important uses.  Hand guns are used for killing, what other use do they have?  How do you want to stop the murder?  Get therapy for every drunk in town?  There's isn't an easy answer.
