Let my grandson’s school get shot up while he is in school and come to find out it is because a dad wasn’t responsible with his guns. I’m showing up to dad’s house, job, favorite restaurant, gym, wherever. I’ll find dad and Dad will see these hands because I don’t own any guns. He’ll get these hands though.

You already know! :lol2: :lol2:

No one has them like we do.......

 

Maybe we need to bring the belt back.

If the parents were negligent in some way letting this animal get the guns then I have no issue with civil and even criminal penalties for them. Part of responsible gun ownership is storing the safely.

No, I'm saying plenty of things can kill you including guns. But they are not for killing only, as you stated.

 

He didnt say they were only used for killing, he said that’s what they were designed for. Which is correct. There’s a difference.

Irresponsibility on the parents part. Whoever owned those guns, the blood is on their hands because they weren’t responsible enough to keep their guns out of their kids hands. It ain’t hard to keep your possessions out of your kids hands. He failed and a school got shot up as a result. He’s just as guilty.

 

Some states have “child-access prevention” laws in place already. Kentucky had one introduced late last year for discussion this year. I think it should be nationwide.

 

While no state has penalties like you’ve proposed, they are also focused on accidental shootings in the home from kids finding a fun laying around. I think those laws need to be expanded to cover shootings like these, ones that are intentional. And those cases need to have more serious crimes for those that allow non-legal owners (i.e. kids) to access and use their guns.

He said..."The purpose of guns is strictly to kill something. Nothing more. Nothing less."

 

That seems pretty cut and dried....but it's all good.

That is the purpose of guns. Period. They don’t do anything else. You can play the target practice role all you want but fact of the matter is that guns weren’t invented for the purpose of target practice. They were invented to kill things in a quick manner. Period.

I'm not arguing with you, just posting what you said for Deuce.

He said..."The purpose of guns is strictly to kill something. Nothing more. Nothing less."

 

Which means that’s what they are made for... Not that they can’t be used for anything else.

Something else I think should be looked into - personal self awareness and interpersonal skills. I believe there should be a class on this at the 7th and 8th grade levels. These are the toughest years for adolescents. Take health class and make part of the core curriculum teaching students how to get in touch with who they are and how they should interact with those around them. Make sure diversity, culture, religion, etc. are discussed. Kids need to learn to respect and care for each other and build personal connections with classmates.

Guns were not invented for target practice. Come on now.

 

I own around 80 guns. I’ve only have killed things with about 10 of them.

It’s not like this kid was 3 years old and happened upon his dad’s gun. He knew what he was doing.

So if he took his dad’s car keys and ran over some others, dad’s at fault?

Always blaming someone else.

Cars weren't invented for racing, but yet...

What else do you do with them? Vacuum the floors? Clean windows? Mow the lawn? Please let me know. I had no idea there were so many things a gun could do until yesterday.
