1. luddly is a liar, no one advocates guns for terrorists, illegals or criminals.
2. irresponsible parents? wtf? now luddly wants to have a check on whether you're a responsible parent. problem is, luddly wants to confiscate your guns because you MIGHT be irresponsible. using his logic, we should take away everyone's vehicle because most, if not all, people are irresponsible with their vehicle at some point in their life.
I think what we need are some laws concerning accountability for gun owners. If you leave your gun where a child or miscreant can easily get hold of it, you own the results. And should be held criminally liable for those results. The NRA has consistently fought any such laws. As have the gun nutters on this board. Were the mother to serve about 5 years in the pen for the death of her child, perhaps the next person might have second thoughts about leaving a gun out where their child can get at it.
there are no laws about leaving your child in a car, however, if you do so and it results in death then you are prosecuted. the same should happen here.
