Prosecute the owner whenever a gun is unsecured and could be accessed by others, whether a crime has been committed or not. because it's criminal negligence either way.

Don't care about "sticking it to gun owners"--care about public safety & public health.

This country is just a joke as a civilized nation if we don't do something. Gun violence affects everybody. Unless you like the idea of living in a banana republic. I've lived in one...very negative...we're getting there. It's really domestic terrorism. If we don't address this from every angle, we have failed. If Americans keep buying guns out of fear, America has failed.

I'm sure you disagree. No need to reply.
