Having a .22 under the Christmas tree and having unsupervised access to it are two very different things. I know plenty of people who got rifles for their younger children but keep them in a safe with their own guns until the kids are older.
Yes, and are those parents on trial for manslaughter? You guys are completely forgetting the context in which this is being asked. If they’re retaining control until the kid is older… they’re likely being responsible and would be found totally fine under any serious proposal.
The parents are on trial for manslaughter because they gave their kid a gun like you might give your kid an action figure, with zero restrictions or teaching about respect for life whatsoever. There is a right way to handle kid’s access to guns and many wrong ways.
Yes, and you fucking morons keep saying that as if ANYONE is saying we’d want to take THOSE guns. You fucking idiots are using the context to get offended instead of using it to understand what is being asked for.
Stop being offended over something not even being asked for here. It’s pathetic.
Yes, because ypu morons keep acting as if I said, “yea, we should clearly restrict all guns from all children at all times.”
Learn to fucking read before you all go on and on about responsible gun ownership. WE KNOW!! We’re not talking about responsible gun owners. The entire topic has never been about responsible gun owners having any rights removed. “evaluated” does not mean, “take guns”, ffs.
Yes, IMO these parents do need to be, as you put it, evaluated, so that we can tell apart the responsible tutors from the irresponsible asshats like the woman who got charged.
We have evaluation systems for firearms literally everywhere else in the world. Fuck, in the US, you have evaluation systems for cars but not fucking guns.

Calm down and stop using straw man arguments. The only one acting offended here is you.

Why don’t you learn to read?
Because I was actually fucking agreeing with you.
