Another 6-year old brings a loaded gun to school in VA

[Anonymous]

My friends and I are liberal gun owners (like Kamala and Walz) and all of us carefully store our firearms and ammunition in secure gun safes bolted to our floors where our kids don't have access. Virginia has been very forward leaning about giving tax credits on purchases of gun safes as incentives to improve safety. I suspect safes will become mandatory at some point in the next decade. But even with such incentives and laws, there are always going to be a few idiots who give everyone else a bad name. When that happens, it's a logical fallacy to ascribe their behavior to everyone else who tries hard to do right.

Would it be fair to say all liberals are like Thomas Matthew Crooks or Ryan Wesley Routh?

I think any adult that has a gun that a minor accesses, and commits a crime with, should be charged as if they themselves committed that crime. And if the gun is accessed but no crime occurs, there should be a minimum one million dollar fine. ALL gun owners should have to buy special insurance to own a gun, costing far more than what we all pay in car insurance. I'd say $5K per month per gun would be fair.

Of course. But Fed Soc/NRA will never allow it.

If the parents fail to lock up guns so their six year olds can’t access them and bring them to school, then we need to lock up the parents. So many of these clowns think telling their young children to “not touch” their guns is a sufficient substitute for actually securing their weapons. It goes beyond lazy and irresponsible- it’s reckless indifference to human life.

Parents need to be charged systematically.

People who pass through airport screeners as well.

I would guess that a decent number of those individuals are at least fined if not charged with a crime.

I also know many conservative (politically) gun owners like you who care very much about gun safety. I don't think caring about gun safety is a political thing. It's a caring-for-others and being-a-good-human thing.

Crooks and idiots will always exist. The question is what can we do to make their lives harder when it comes to guns.

But they want to make IVF and abortion a crime. So they can do this too.
