Reply #119: and my question remains

[iverglas]

If you want to know why this story was posted in this forum, WHY DON'T YOU ASK THE PERSON WHO POSTED IT?

Do you think it illustrates the need for some sort of government action?

YES. I have repeatedly said in this forum (and if you're too lazy to look, it's no one's problem but your own) that I recommend SAFE/SECURE STORAGE LEGISLATION.

How you could POSSIBLY have not grasped this after reading my earlier posts in this thread alone ... it hardly bears thinking about.

If the laws of the jurisdiction in question had required that firearms be stored securely -- and not in a plastic box in a closet, as it appears this one was -- then it is highly unlikely that the young person who is now dead would have been able to access it ... if we can assume that a state senator would have been likely to obey the laws he is elected to make. Law-abidin' gun owner? I'd hope so.


And once again, I plead with you Iverglas: I am not impressed nor interested when you spend so much energy parsing questions and taking offense. Just make a statement about what YOU think, and we'll go from there. If you don't have anything of substance to offer, then why bother typing at all?

And once again, I will tell you -- although why it would not be crystal clear in your head at this point already, I again can't imagine -- that I just don't give a flying fuck about whether you are or are not impressed, or interested, or covered in purple polka dots. Any chance you'd like to spare anyone further descriptions of your state of mind or any other boring detail about yourself?
