ANOTHER SCHOOL/PUBLIC SHOOTING

[Midwest Spy]

The Santa Fe HS shooter's dad is working my nerves.

Wooo. It takes a lot to do that!

This is the exact scenario I’ve imagined when I say that the legal owner of the weapon should be equally responsible for the crime(s) committed:

Lackadaisical parent, apparently without a clue (I hope), has legally acquired guns available essentially to anyone in the household.

If this kid would not have had access to these guns, this mass murder probably would not have occurred. Sure, he could have tried to get one illegally by theft or purchase, but for a 17 year old with no prior criminal history, would’ve been very, very doubtful.

In my world, you can legally purchase as many guns as you like, but if you are negligent and the guns end up with someone that commits a crime (like this scenario) you will do major time.

And the onus to prove one’s innocence will be on the gun owner. Better be able to prove that your guns were stolen, and that’ll be hard to do when a family member uses them.
