Another ''responsably'' used gun employed to shoot a trespasser.

Yes stupid people own Guns. Stupid people also own Cars, Knives, Lighter Fuel, Motorcycles. All things kids can also injure themselves with if around Stupid parents.

What do you want to discuss? A father was irresponsible with his gun and he paid the price in the form of his child's life. And will likely face prison time for negligence.

Not sure what else you think there is to discuss. You don't get to strip away my rights because someone else is a fucktard.

Down here we have a serious problem with idiots that leave their guns in their unlocked cars. These guns then get stolen. The number was crazy like 75% of stolen guns were from unlocked cars.

Its absolutely stupid, and these people should be charged with something. I dunno what they could be charged with, but something to deter them from doing this stupid shit

I wonder if the American gun lobby would have any issue with requiring gun safes. I am actually really curious how many accidental and incel-goes-nuts shootings could be prevented if you locked up your guns; don't even ban any of them, just require they be reasonably secured when not carried.

As a gun owner, I have no issues with making a gun safe a legal requirement to own guns. Issue is the implementation and policing of such a policy.

can we ust not have 'Another member of the well regulated militia' megathread

People have DUIs and kill others pretty often in the world as well. I guess we should take all cars away from people. Also you probably shouldn't be mocking someone in your OP and misspell the word you're trying to use to mock them.

[mickybrighteyes]

as far as I'm aware:

Georgia law does not penalize a person who negligently stores a firearm, even if a minor gains access to it.

The problem I have with that is how extreme they can get with it. In canada we have to have our guns in a locked safe with a trigger lock and the ammo locked away separate , making a gun completely useless for home defense if you follow those laws. That being said even if you shot an intruder raping your wife in canada you would still go to jail for murder ----CAUSE REASONS!!!!!!----

Guess what happens to people who are cought, ignoring speed limits, DUI, crossing at red traffic lights and so on. Even if no damage was caused? If you crossly missbehave on the road, you can kiss your license goodbye. And if something is damaged, or people are injured/ killed you have your license taken away as well, and face criminal charges.

Oh and if you decide, to drive anyway without license, you also go to jail.

People who compare guns to cars or knives are fucking retarded.

One takes effort to kill someone, the other doesn’t

I would. Each home has different environments and thus the level of safe storage required will vary. I have no issues however with stiff penalties for gun owners who do not keep their weapons secured from unauthorized use. This case is one of simple unsafe gun storage and if children are present in the home, more steps need to be taken then say a couple or single person who has no children present.

It's a tragedy. RIP

I still can't figure out why you think putting misspellings in quotes is a compelling or amusing framing of anything.

Yeah, this seems moderately obvious to me. I'm in favor of fairly strict liability standards given the potential for harm, but I'm also in favor of allowing room for human judgment. A rural couple with no children in the home being required to keep a rifle in a safe seems comically absurd when a standard cabinet is perfectly fine.

Yeah wtf. Saying "having access to guns is fine because people also have access to knives and cars" is one line away from saying "having access to nuclear weapon is fine because so many people have access to guns".

Cars are made to ride.
Knives are made to slice.

Just because both of them can also be used to kill, doesnt mean its their main purpose.

Meanwhile... guns are made to kill. End of story.


Dont ever compare a gun to any other object that can kill, but killing is not its main purpose. At least dont if you're not an idiot.

[Coolthulhu]

I like how strawmanning aficionados try to push their hoplophobic agenda by calling irresponsible gun owners responsible.
