Whether the child intended to use it or not, is irrelevant. The child - and their parents/guardians - put a LOT of people at risk. Lock up your weapons, gun-nuts. If you're going to insist on having your guns, you need to be incredibly on top of your security and responsibility. |
The parents are clearly idiots and should be held accountable, potentially criminally, for their negligence which indeed put people at risk. But it reflects badly on you to try and agitate lawful gun owners by calling them gun-nuts and insinuating they are broadly irresponsible about security and their responsibilities. You're either extremely biased and uneducated and/or a troll. |
meanwhile, people are screaming about the dangers of .... cell phones. |
OP clearly states that if they have them, they need to be over the top responsible. Who can disagree with that? |
This is Maga Trump country what do you expect? |
and pagers ! |
Parents need to be charged systematically. |
I’ll keep screaming into the void about both. |
I know someone who thinks "hidden in a room I don't think my kid knows about" is responsible enough. Some people are insane. |
Some people are not responsible enough to own guns. That's where govt regulation comes in. |
This needs to be a federal crime--allowing gun access to a minor. Mandatory 10 years in federal prison. |
Does everything have to be mutually exclusive when it comes to public policy? You're just dumb. |
People who pass through airport screeners as well. |
I would very much define any adult who leaves any kind of loaded gun where a 6yo can access it a nut. And I hope the hell states continue the prosecutions they've started doing, whether an actual shooting comes of it or not. |
Whatever happened to the kid that brought one to Lyles-Crouch? Wasn’t the parent charged? |
