  • I really think a gun safety class should be required to own a firearm. However, I also see how that would violate the second amendment (by making it harder for those of lesser means to exercise their right to own a weapon because they do not have the same resources available to take a class).

    I think that as long as we have the second amendment, we should be offering taxpayer-funded firearm safety courses in all states. And requiring them.



  • As an American gun owner, I would not give them the benefit of the doubt. There’s no reason they couldn’t have secured their weapon or–even better–not had one in the house where their mentally troubled son lived. There’s absolutely no excuse for him having had access to that firearm.

    I agree that the company shares some blame, but ultimately it comes down to the fact that they gave this kid access to a gun, knowing full well that he had mental health issues.
