I posted the following on the political thread Friday & didn't get much action:
"With the Santa Fe School shootings in mind, tell me why this thought on weapons is wrong:
If someone in your household or someone with ready access to your house, e.g., has a key, obtains a weapon you own from your house that didn't require breaking into a secure storage case, and uses it in the commission of a felony, that that usage becomes a felony crime for you with dire consequences when convicted. Thanks."
Why not? Seems to me that a lot of these shootings are by guys with their parent's gun(s). Owners need to be held responsible/accountable imo. No one says you can't leave them laying around, but it's on you (too) if someone uses them illegally after you were irresponsible (imo) with them,.
