Quote:If these idiot fuckers who leave their guns lying about were all charged with negligent homicide, it might help with this sort of problem.Manslaughter, but, bingo. There's this notion that a certain amount of misconduct is sheltered under the umbrella of a persons rights. Some feel that they have the right, for example, to leave a loaded, unsecured firearm in the presence of children. Somehow this is just part and parcel of their right to bare arms. The same people who wouldn't leave their car running with their kids in it......will leave a loaded pistol very near the floor. It's disturbing. The same people who would seek compensation for damages if the neighbors kid drove through their living room window.......will moan and wring their hands about the tragedy of accidents when a bullet from their pistol goes through a neighbors window, neighbors kids.
Manslaughter, criminal negligence, destruction of property. Plenty of jurisdictions have a 3 misdemeanor rule.....and federal statutes can bar anyone convicted and sentenced to a term over 12 months in most cases, or 24 months in all cases. There used to be an exception, but it expired. Hit em with a felony-or a cluster of misdemeanors.......then you can confiscate their firearms and prevent them from legally acquiring another. All of this (and more) can be done under -current- gun laws...and it is, day in and day out...like a machine.
We throw the book at a gang banger, and let the redneck walk.
