Gun Control

[Fartsniffage]

Since most people are saying parental discretion, does that mean the parent is liable should the child do something?

Yes.

A parent goes to prison for murder if a kid kills someone?

[Gun Manufacturers]

No, YOU can't be trusted with a firearm (you've said so yourself, in the past). I'm just fine with firearms.

It is true that I can't trust myself with a firearm.

But that's why I hold everyone else to the same standard. Also, after a bloody stunt like Los Vegas, how can anyone in good conscience still support gun rights?

So, because of your hangups, and because of a VAST minority of incidents compared to legal uses, I should be punished with the loss of several thousands of dollars of equipment?

Fuck that shit. The shooting in Las Vegas is a tragedy, but I didn't commit it. When/if we ever figure out why this guy did this, we can work towards the correct response to solve it. Punishing people like me isn't the answer, IMO.

[Spirit of Hope]

Yes.

A parent goes to prison for murder if a kid kills someone?

If a parent gives a gun to a kid, and the kid purposefully uses it to kill someone at the very least that parent should be hit with accessory to murder in my book. If it is an accident than the parent should definitely be under threat of negligent homicide. The child could still be charged/have the appropriate action taken based on age, but the simple fact is, to me, the parent is responsible for the gun.

[Telconi]

Yes.

For murder? Perhaps not, but to prison certainly if the child murders with a gun they were given by the parent.

If it is accidental, then it would be tried as if the parent had been the one committing the accident.

Exactly GM. And according to shitbrick jimmel kimmel we are to bear some responsibility, to that I say fuck that, and fuck that guy, I bear ZERO responsibility.

Why are people's 1st reaction never that its gunfire. Like every single time people think its fireworks or some other loud noise. My 1st reaction whenever I hear anything loud is that its gunfire until I see otherwise. I just don't get it.

Because most of the time for most people, it isn't gunfire. Cars backfiring, fire works or other things tend to be the cause. In the case of the LV shooting, they were also at a place where fireworks would not be unusual and automatic gunfire would be.

Trump would probably be willing to work with the Democrats on gun control, but it's unlikely anything will happen presently.

For the best, really.

Well because most of the time it is fireworks perhaps? Also the report has a different sound as the sound bounces off of building vs a wide open setting.

That's one of the weirdest things about this. He'd probably be willing to pass gun control laws up to a point if someone could convince him 'Obama tried and failed to do this, he just wasn't President enough'.

It's Trump though so he'd probably fuck it up anyway.

Let's put it this way.

You see a light streaking across the sky that appears to be a shooting star. Is your first thought:

A) A meteor has entered earth's atmosphere
B) A satellite's orbit has decayed and it's in reentry
C) A man made spacecraft is reentering the atmosphere
D) Aliens have finally decided to invade and we're all about to die

[Farnhamia]

The GOP says bump-stocks might be worth banning. There, see? They do care.

I doubt Trump would work with them on guns, that would be a spectacular case of political suicide.

Why?

about damn time, also you know what they should ban, pink, yellow, red, blue, green, orange, or purple colored guns, you know the ones that attract children!

I'd say even if you don't have one those 3D printable bump stock files might be worth getting.

I'm pro-gun, but it's a worthless attachment. What's the issue?

The legislation also makes mention of triggers as well. Best bet is hopefully this one dies.

[Albrenia]

It kind of makes sense to ban something which only exists to skirt around another law via technicality.

Why?

because its logical, however its the only safe thing to do is to always assume that any loud pop us a gunshot unless you have visual evidence otherwise, that could save people lives, I would rather start running every time a fire work goes off thinking someone is shooting then stand still thinking its a fire work when someone is shooting.

[Major-Tom]

Fuck...

If it's worthless, then why ban it?
