    I think you’re asking good questions.  The way I see it is that a gun has a two purposes.  Shooting targets for recreation and killing things including people.   Therefore there is a great responsibility for safe use and storage.  We lack those severely in our country IMO.  

    Well said Decoy. I'm an avid hunter and I'm overly cautious with storage and when it comes to my children and guns. But I also enjoy hunting and collecting of guns. I would suppose this goes into a lot of things where we all feel punished by some things because of lack of responsibility by others.

    I don't know...and I always read your name as Qbert!

    Qbert was one of my favorite games as a youngster. But nah, it's a tiny little town in Nebraska lol.

    No worries about the bold. That's what P&R is for. Speak your mind.

     

    I get your analogy, but where I think it's different is in the intent of the item. A car is intended for transportation. Guns are intended to kill. I can use a spoon to kill someone, but i don't think we should have more spoon regulation.

     

     

    I guess I grew up in a community where a gun is used to hunt, which yes kill can be used, but not to harm another individual. It's an interesting discussion. One of my favorite ESPN takes was a friend of mine who played for the huskers discussing guns on espn with someone who grew up with a different view of guns. He played for the Chiefs and that segment happened shortly after the incident in KC.

    I would be cool with that.  Your gun and ammo gets stolen and is used in a crime, you go to prison for life.  Your gun gets stolen, you get a 30 year sentence, your ammo gets stolen you get a 10 year sentence.

     

    Every gun owner I know tells me how responsible they are, so it should not be an issue.  

    I asked this in a response, but if your car gets stolen b/c you left your keys in it and it is used in an incident where it kills someone else. Are you partially responsible? Full disclosure I may or may not have a munch of guns and maybe 80% are them are collectors and don't have firing pins. I hate getting into these things teach, but I couldn't help it here ha.

    I think so, in cases of negligence. You leave a gun in an unlocked vehicle, that should come with repercussions.

    What if you leave keys in a car and it gets stolen? Say it's used in an event that causes a fatality or another crime in some way. Do you hold the person who left their keys in the car partially responsible as well? I'll be 100% honest here, I'm hesitant to get into these discussions b/c I don't enjoy conflict, I ask for my own learning opportunity here and to gather other thoughts.

    I think there's a deep discussion to be had there but I have to hop away from the PC for awhile :)

     

    But, law-abiding citizens aren't really the focus of many of those policies. Unless, of course, we're talking about proper storage and safety. I know several law-abiding and smart gun owners who have had their guns stolen because of a lapse in judgement, a mistake or a burglary. Next hting you know, the gun ends up the street in the back of someone's car and gets used in a violent crime.

     

    Stolen weapons are a huge problem in the gun violence debate. Part of this fix is limiting ease of access and holding people accountable, not necessarily saying how many guns you can/cant have.

    My apologies for not finding the correct way to ask this, but the solution is to hold the person accountable that is being stolen from?

    Number four for Mississippi State will face criminal charges most likely. If you watch him he is smiling after he hits a guy and kicks a man when he is down. Many of those guys that choose to come back will be suspended and many may be told to not come back. It seems every year there is a bowl game with a big brawl at the end. 

    The locker video afterwards is beyond dumb as well.
