We’d see a ton of these types of shootings go down, no doubt about that all.
I wish that were true, but doubt that it is.
Even in states with laws about locking up guns, the gun-owners are very rarely prosecuted when a family member gets a hold of one and uses it to shoot others.
The gun owners can always claim that they locked it up and weren't aware that the offender could access it. If LE can't prove negligence or intent, no case.
