The jury has reached a verdict in Jennifer Crumbley's manslaughter trial over the 2021 Oxford High School shooting carried out by her son Ethan Crumbley.
A weapon retrieved from a nightstand, or a mothers purse, and used by a small child to kill themselves is a very different situation than a teen who accesses a gun safe without permission.
Both are a failure to prevent a child from accessing a firearm.
This and this are both failures; gendering the failing parent simply isn’t required.
Both are a failure to prevent a child from accessing a firearm.
Yes but they are only similar in the broadest sense; a child grabbing a loaded gun out of Mom’s Purse or Dad’s Nightstand are very different scenarios from a teen who destructively opens a gun safe or steals the key to it.
Safe storage for firearms is desirable but requiring the prosecution of those who made a good faith effort and failed is not.
Damn well wait until you find out how many gun deaths are unnecessary.
Safe storage for firearms is desirable but requiring the prosecution of those who made a good faith effort and failed is not.
Then that prosecution can determine if a good faith effort was made or if the parents were negligent with the storage of their firearms, rather than the usual pro-gun stance of “every solution must be 100% effective (except ours) while never even mildly inconveniencing us and if you try and make it actually happen we’ll kill you”.
