re: #353 Hecuba’s daughter

What do you do in the case that the parents legally acquired the weapons but their child is barred from using them ? Too many loopholes. Certain weapons and magazines should be barred, period.

Parents are liable the same way that the driver of a getaway car is liable. If a child kills with a parents weapon, both parents need to be charged with murder as well. That could happen now if the DA had a pair.

Bans won’t happen in any meaningful way. Ban AR-15’s? They become some other name. Ban certain features? There are ways around all of them (look up “California legal”). Magazines? Even if we somehow stopped production there are far too many in the wild.

Better to change behavior.

We did not ban cars. We did not ban alcohol. But a DWI is a much worse thing today than when I was 18. That’s what we can do with guns.
