Another teen shooting a gun. Parents are failing at their job. They need to be held accountable for their children’s illegal and dangerous possession and use of a gun.
And the red states say carry all the guns you want. They used to say that an armed society is a polite society. But that doesn’t seem to be the case any longer. The only way to tamp down gun violence is to take the guns out of the hands of the kids and the people that mentally aren’t capable of handling them. Double down on red flag pause. Been home 30 round magazines and give a tax credit for them turning them in. Make marksmanship the new thing to strive for not the number of bullets your gun can hold.
children are not legally allowed to own or carry guns and neither are people who have been adjudicated mentally ill. colorado already has magazine capacity limits, so someone using one in a shooting is also breaking the law. your lies are despicable.
