Good. Parents need to be held accountable for how they raise their kids.

Good.

I say it all the time. Let’s work with the Responsible Gun Owners(TM) to reduce gun violence.

Someone murders someone with a gun? Is it their gun? No? Then how did they get it? Someone didn’t have a proper gun safe AND didn’t report it stolen? They get charged too.

And let’s go even farther. He (let’s be real) bought it from Marvin’s Guns? And Marvin didn’t do due dilligence to check if that gun was going to a Responsible Gun Owner(TM)’s home with a proper safe? Marvin is getting fined VERY heavily and investigated.

And Marvin got that gun from PSA? Well, PSA weren’t making sure their distributors were following the law so best fine them too.

See how long people keep having more ARs than teeth and how good they get about locking up those bullets and guns when not in use.

It stops with guns though, right?


right?

Because how far do we actually go? Do we also apply this to fast food and health issues, or nah?

Ah, my mistake. Because the slope looks kind of slippery we should do absolutely nothing. All those kids and random bystanders are just a necessary cost for freedom.

And here I was taking all those Responsible Gun Owners (TM) in good faith when they insist they aren’t the problem and any legislation would disproportionately hurt them. This would actively NOT hurt them and only hurt the bad people. Weird.

Also there are actually plenty of laws about when bars (and similar) can and can’t serve alcohol based upon whether they think it would be overly harmful to the customer. And every so often you get investigations along those lines questioning if they knowingly did so.

Similar to tobacco marketing towards children.

Yes, but none of that matters because it doesn’t fit the narrative the replier wants to push.

Colin Gray knew his son was obsessed with school shooters, even having a shrine in his bedroom to Nikolas Cruz, the shooter in the 2018 massacre at Florida’s Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, prosecutors said.

“It wasn’t like one parent missed one warning,” Smith told reporters. “This was multiple warnings over a lengthy period of time and, like we said, you just had to do one thing — take that rifle away and this would have been prevented.”

Bruh wtf. Noooo this is not a bought my 14 year old son a gun and this came out of nowhere (still bad in my book). This is a dad that basically knew this was going to happen. Stomp his nuts.
