Would someone explain to me how charges could be uncertain in a case like this? In California of all places, doesn't a case like this violate some laws?“The two juveniles were home alone when the 12 year-old boy went into his parent’s bedroom and retrieved his father’s AR-15 style rifle,” said Matt Nicholass with LMPD. “The boy brought the rifle into the living area of the home and began manipulating the gun. The rifle accidentally discharged and struck his 17 year-old sister in the shoulder while she was lying on the couch watching television.”
The 17 year-old victim was transported to the hospital by the paramedics for treatment. Her injuries are not life-threatening."This is still an ongoing investigation at this time and we are uncertain if charges will be filed,” Nicholass concluded.
What's your opinion?
if we had laws of common sense it sure would!

This is the key point: California does have the kind of law that you want. It didn't do any good. This is yet another example of how gun control fails.
DeleteI don't know if that's true, Greg. Even though CA is number 1 in the Brady book, their laws are not nearly strict enough.
DeleteI care less and less every day about what you don't know. A simple search will show you California's laws on this and many other subjects, but you can't be bothered. As long as more guns are taken away from more citizens, you're happy, regardless of facts and rights.
DeleteYup, so this guy who is the parent should end up behind bars, lose his gun and lose his gun rights of any kind FOREVER --- and probably should have his kids taken away for their own good.
ReplyDeleteOh, wait, yeah, if they take Daddy away to jail, then that won't be necessary - but I hope they give Mommy plenty of supervision for subjecting her kids to that kind of danger.
Bleat, bleat, bleat, but ignore the point: If gun control works, and specifically if safe storage laws work, then how did this happen? You fail to address the failure of gun control.
