Why was the gun in the house?Something tells me the boy was not exercising his freedom, that he was not free to shoot his sister. Not only did the law not allow it, but neither did his parents.
That's not really the point here is it?
The reason he was able to shoot his sister was because of the gun. Why was there a gun in the house? Why was he able to get a gun? Because of the 2A, the NRA, the attitude towards guns in the US.
Wow!
You refuse to acknowledge the failure of the parent and blame everyone else!
It is amazing how you just toss everyone into the same pot as the parent!
Why was the gun in the house?
Because the person passed the State requirements to own the firearm.
Why was the kid able to obtain the firearm to kill their sister?
The failure of the parent to secure the firearm properly to make sure that their son was not able to get to it without their knowledge!
Now explain to the good board how it is the NRA fault for the parent failure?
I am not part of the NRA but I will be damn if I will ever agree with those like you that put the blame on others for the failure of one or two people!
As a parent it is your job to secure the firearm and if you fail to do so then you are responsible for what your child has done with your firearm along with them!
Not me, not the NRA and not gun owners across this country but you are responsible for securing your firearm and if you do own any my advice to you is to sell them because if you fail to secure your firearm you will blame society and not yourself for your failure in life!
Exactly.
Because either the state felt they passed all the requirements to obtain the firearm or they illegally obtained it through a straw purchase or stolen.
Now if the last two then the parent is a criminal and because of the failure to secure the firearm properly the parent should at least be charged with child endangerment.
