My point is: That this trouble with guns is so out of control that
our best answer to negligence in gun safety has us prosecuting parents
of dead kids?
WTF is wrong with this picture?
The cat is out of the bag and now we're coming up with idiotic answers
because lawmakers are too scared of the gun lobby, it's money and
political clout.
Well, adults are typically legally responsible for their children's
behavior, so from a legal standpoint, it makes some sense. You're right that
it doesn't help much after the fact of the death, but by that logic we might
as well let murderers go without penalty, or at least the ones that murdered
with some justification... spousal abuse reaction, whatever.
I don't know if gun locks are worth it or not, but if you saw Moore's
Bowling for Columbine, it isn't about the number of guns. It's about the
society in which they exist.
Yes, proof positive that our society and guns don't mix well.
Let's get more and cheaper out there and take ****ing forever to close
the gun show loophole.
The loon shot in DC today will get sentenced and serve whatever time,
is then free to jump in his car and head right to Virginia for a gun
show where they couldn't care liess if the guy is insane, a criminal
or criminally insane.
If we can't even control that situation, what's the chance of having a
reasonable approach to gun ownership and safety.
These gun freaks should all have to serve time in a trauma unit.
