    Agreed with prosecuting fools that improperly store their guns.

    You need a gun? No problem. But you're accountable for it.

    What would you suggest be done that would have prevented this one?  He used a .38 Revolver and a Shotgun...?
    What would you suggest be done about this ? 
    Idk, what would you suggest?
    Really? You don’t know?
    Nope, do you?  What would have stopped this most recent event where a revolver and shotgun were used by a 17 year old?
    Assault weapons ban-nope
    minimim age requirements-nope
    background checks-nope
    waiting periods-nope
    Keep kicking the can down the road and whistling by the graveyard. You had armed school security on premises and a “responsible” gun owner. Nothing can be done, thoughts and prayers.

    I don't understand your point.  I offered three suggestions that would have helped prevent this tragedy.  He touches on them as well.  I'll try again:
    1. Law around gun cabinets
    2. Trigger locks
    3. Fingerprint sensors to enable the trigger mechanism.  The technology absolutely exists.  

    Do you believe that if 1. Any of these laws existed and were required and 2. the law abiding father followed the law, that this tragedy could not have been averted?

    I thought you were against the government imposing laws for those things the individual should do without, like be “responsible?”

    That’s right, nothing.
    I don't understand your point.  I offered three suggestions that would have helped prevent this tragedy.  He touches on them as well.  I'll try again:
    1. Law around gun cabinets
    2. Trigger locks
    3. Fingerprint sensors to enable the trigger mechanism.  The technology absolutely exists.  

    Do you believe that if 1. Any of these laws existed and were required and 2. the law abiding father followed the law, that this tragedy could not have been averted?
    I have zero faith in number three. Technology fails at times, no way I would ever buy a gun like that. 
    The first two are great. 
    You put your life in the hands of technology every day.
    Yeah no thanks. 
    Do you trust the technology in your automobile or not? 

    Unless you tell me you don't drive, then I’ll guess you do.

    Legitimate question: What has Texas done regarding anything to prevent what happened today between the church shooting that killed 26 and today? Other than thoughts and prayers?
    What would you suggest be done that would have prevented this one?  He used a .38 Revolver and a Shotgun...?
    What would you suggest be done about this ? 
    Idk, what would you suggest?
    Really? You don’t know?
    Nope, do you?  What would have stopped this most recent event where a revolver and shotgun were used by a 17 year old?
    Assault weapons ban-nope
    minimim age requirements-nope
    background checks-nope
    waiting periods-nope
    Locked up? Yup.
    Stored elsewhere? Yup.
    Care to elaborate?  How would your fairy tale laws read?

    Maybe you can? But I kind of doubt it because all you got is nothing.

     precisely... those antilock brakes that you slam on I95 during rush hour are 80% technology.  Only at the caliper does it become mechanical.  And that's one example of the 200k in your vehicle,  let alone the airplane you board.

    Here’s some solutions that just might work. Not over night and not in every instance. There are always exceptions and while a zero sum would be nice, most realize it’s not achievable. However, major reductions are achievable.

    Some very good points and data in this. It blows my mind how many people have guns that are not in a safe and loaded on top of it. Especially if kids are in the house. It also blows my mind the percentage of guns that are sold with no background check.  Both of those issues need to be fixed in a major way.

    It might have interested twenty people in a high school in Texas, even though it didn’t interest you.
