Gun owner fails to adequately secure firearm, child dies

[james&olya 1,121]

So if your vehicle is stolen and used in bank robbery - you should be tried for bank robbery since you failed to secure your vehicle.

That is stupid! How about holding you liable if your shoes are stolen and worn during a robbery? It is the gun that is the issue, the 'force multiplier', that allows the criminal to get power to take that which is not his! It is the GUN that needs to be registered to a proper owner and the owner charged with its security with liability if he does not do so!

Vehicles don't rob banks.

without the vehicle the robber would not had been able to get to bank, nor the security guard on duty and the bank manager would had been shot and nor the robber would had been able to flee the scene.

So it responsibility of the vehicle owner.

And? If a neighbor's child wanders into your backyard, falls in the pool and drowns, because you forgot to latch the gate, are you not still liable?

By code your gate must be self latching.

[james&olya 1,121]

What in case owner latched the door close, kid opens the latch and wanders around the yard and falls in the pool and drowns is the owner still liable?

kid proof latches or locks!

Exactly.... how stupid is this someones gun was stolen by this drug delear, I m guessing he was in business of breaking in houses too.

Now drug dealers kid shoot himself with this stolen gun - why would you hold the original legal gun owner responsible for this?

Vehicles don't rob banks.

They make good getaway devices though.

Which means all the argument "patriot" is making are baseless....lol

Fail. He can take a bus, walk, ride a bike, a horse, hail a taxi, ride a skateboard, etc!

Finally an equal retort to the vehicle argument.

He did not secure his weapon adequately. I am sure liability insurance issuers could come up with some reasonable criteria to use as conditions for issuing liability insurance for registering guns and for their proper storage.

Actually, yes, much like if a gun is kept loaded in an unlocked bedside drawer.

Fail: Not reading the complete post.

Fail: As per "Patriot's" argument than bus driver, original owner of the bike, horse, taxi driver, original owner of the skateboard should be responsible for the robbery.

There you go. Rules to help keep kids from drowning.

He mean who?

Have you noticed in your day to day life in every place you have got insurance company involved the things have got worst and worst.

How do you know the original owner had gun loaded and in his bedside drawer.... again there is no rule / law by which you cannot keep a loaded gun in your bedside drawer.

In 2 years the drug delear did not have time to load the gun....lol really
