Why would you use keys? Combo or no-go.
Even a thumb print just means they cut off your thumb and get in.
While were blaming the dead mother, yes, you're blaming the dead mother.
Kid grabs her self defense weapon from where she slept while sleeping (remember, a locked up weapon is a useless weapon. If you're going to have a weapon for self defense it should be close by and ready to use) and demanded she open the safe?
But that's not possible right? Because doing that and stealing the weapons is ILLEGAL!
There were no kids in the home.
Here you go, dead and terrorized kids because of mandatory gun locks:

So guns and people. Your analysis is quite deep.
Truth be told, you'll piss off more people than you'd like arguing this or that about guns. That in itself should make any moderate consider whether guns is the correct approach.
No, you're right. I'm sure things would have gone totally differently... because... imagination.
I'm in favor of the status quo.
Some A-rated NRA member beg to differ.
Yes, the NRA, the organization of fudds, sellouts and statists. Apparently they don't teach you that in Taiwan, or wherever you're from.
Also LOL @ pointing to a politician as a symbol of conscience (learn to spell already), as opposed to a scheming narcissist who would say anything to get re-elected.
The laws were just fine. Again, laws don't stop people who do not intend on following them (last time I checked, murdering your mom so you can steal her guns is pretty much illegal anywhere on Earth). It is the enforcement that was lacking. Given the lack of enforcement of current laws, this does not bode well for a plan that calls for massive increases in enforcement effort.
Some A-rated NRA member beg to differ.
Quote:
Democratic Sen. Mark Warner of Virginia, an "A"-rated member of the NRA, told reporters at the state Capitol Monday that "the status quo is not acceptable anymore" and called for restrictions on assault weapons, according to reports.
West Virginia Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin, another "A"-rated member of the NRA, on Monday questioned the availability of assault weapons, saying on MSNBC's "Morning Joe," "I don't know anyone in the sporting or hunting arena that goes out with an assault rifle. I don't know anybody that needs 30 rounds in a clip to go hunting. I mean, these are things that need to be talked about."

Unfortunately those type of people with some conscious are the rare minority just by looking at the gun nutz's reply in this forum.
Again, I am not advocating a complete gun bans, but enough is enough. There has been enough tragedy and not just this one in CT but so many others where high powered assault weapon with high ammo capacity were used. If you gun enthusiasts have just a little conscious and feel something for those young kids that were shot to pieces by your beloved toys, you'd start to come to the table and discuss constructive ways to reduce the chance for those high powered weapons to fall into the wrong hand.
well, it's painfully obvious that the laws very much are lacking. How do you attribute this to a problem of enforcement?
you have made no suggestion as to how this has anything to with enforcement.
How do the current laws prevent the guns from getting into the hands of this individual, specifically?
obviously they do not.
how should they have been enforced better, to keep them out of this kid's hands? Who should have enforced them, and ensured that the person obtaining them (the mother) did not also have mentally unstable sociopathic children at home? That is enforcement. Who is going to enforce that? How will it happen?
explain.
I'm in favor of the status quo.
I know!
Let's make murdering your mother and stealing her weapons illegal!
There really should be a law for that.
An unstable 20 year old counts as a kid. As in, he could not legally possess a handgun.
So time to take your fucking guns away!
yippie! teabagging scum!
the status quo = 20 murdered children
weird thing to be in favor of.
How does locking the guns up help when you are dead and your son can find the keys?
Or you're dead and he has limitless time alone in your house to break into the gun cabinet?
Accept it: You can do absolutely nothing to stop events like this. Nothing.
Status Quo is GUN FREE ZONES. Liberals got their gun control by creating gun free zones.
Lets see how well gun free zones work:
Sandy Hook Elementary School - GUN FREE ZONE
Oikos University shooting - GUN FREE ZONE
Aurora shooting - GUN FREE ZONE
Fort Hood Shooting - GUN FREE ZONE
Columbine High School massacre - GUN FREE ZONE
With just one single exception, the attack on congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords in Tucson in 2011, every public shooting since at least 1950 in the U.S. in which more than three people have been killed has taken place where citizens are not allowed to carry guns. http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/335739/facts-about-mass-shootings-john-fund#
Should it be renewed, the ban’s effects on gun violence are likely to be small at best and perhaps too small for reliable measurement. Assault weapons were rarely used in gun crimes even before the ban.
