[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I believe in strict liability for gun owners. If your gun is used to commit a crime or unintentionally shoot someone, the owner is liable, period. [/quote]

So do I. If your stolen car is used to commit a crime, you are liable.[/quote]

This is a very good idea as well. Most vehicles used in carjackings are stolen vehicles themselves. Not too mention robberies and drive by shootings too.

If your car is stolen and is later used to commit a crime, you should definitely be held responsible for it. Absolutely. [/quote]

A car, a bike, a motorbike are means of transportation. A gun is a weapon designed to kill. A gun owner should be held responsible if the gun is not secured. Think of all the idiots who keep a loaded gun in the car, purse and so on around young kids. Toddlers would not shoot themselves or their siblings (or even parents) if the guns were not left around loaded by irresponsible owners. If you want a gun, be a responsible gun owner. [/quote]

If you want a car (bike, motorbike, et al)  then be a responsible owner.

But allowing your meansof transportation to be stolen and therefore enable a criminal to have a means of transportation, that makes you complicit in the crimes they commit with the means of transportation you allowed them to steal. Were it not for your failing to prevent that car from being stolen, they would t have been able to commit whatever crime they committed while using it. You are party responsible too.

Be a responsible vehicle owner. Prevent your car from being stolen. Otherwise, you should be charged. [/quote]
