I'm a responsible driver. I support legislation to help prevent irresponsible people from getting behind the wheel. This means preventing DUIs, reckless driving, or unsafe cars. What's my point?

This: Responsible gun ownership requires supporting legislation to help prevent irresponsible people from having easy access to firearms. If you're not willing to ensure that happens, you're not a responsible gun owner, & you are part of the problem of epidemic gun violence in America.

@QasimRashid You didn't finish the first part of your 2nd paragraph. Responsible gun ownership requires HOLDING GUN OWNERS RESPONSIBLE. When their minor children get Daddy's Glock from the nightstand or Mommy's Bushmaster from the closet and "accidentally" kill their best friend or intentionally shoot up their school, the parents need to be prosecuted. Every time. And it never, ever happens.

@QasimRashid I get that you can relate that to preventing irresponsible ppl from getting the firearms, but I think it's a distinct problem that is the least likely to be addressed... even if we get reasonable laws on sales, no one's going after parents for basically handing Little Johnny the murder weapon.

@QasimRashid Recent case in point is the 1st-grader in VA who shot his teacher with one of his parents' guns. I think the parent responsible for that gun should be tried as an accessory to the attempted murder.

The mom KNEW there were issues with her son, bought a gun anyway and left in a place a 6 year old could access it, loaded. Throw the book at her and the teacher should sue the family into the poor house.
