If you turn a dog loose to hunt – you’d better to be ready to deal with what he trees.
Yeah I saw that video too Bill. As far as I can tell it is not an AR but simply a shotgun with a pistol grip maybe. A turkey gun or something like that.
I am with you on the fact that these weapons were unsecured. I am very interested to know if the kid just walked into the closet and picked them up or if there was some attempt to keep them from him. I have brought access and security as a possible way to lend something substantive to the discussion. As expected that has not been received well at all. There have been suggestions that making safes mandatory, even for semi autos, would end up being a backdoor way to nullify that 2nd.
The level of paranoia from our side is pretty high and I believe it reaches the point where any attempt to do anything whatsoever to get crazy people off the street and treated or to do anything at all to try and limit their access to weapons is going to get stonewalled. Right now I think the gun community's response to any action at all will be "Tough noogies. We ain't moving."
A mistake, but an honest assessment I would argue.
