The “Water Cooler” is a feature on Claycord.com where we ask you a question or provide a topic, and you talk about it.
The “Water Cooler” will be up Monday-Friday in the noon hour.
QUESTION: Do you think the parents of school shooting suspects (or any shooting suspect) should be charged with murder if the suspect uses a gun that’s owned by the parent?
Talk about it….
Yes.
Case by Case basis. In the Current case YES!
If the child is under the legal age to obtain and own a firearm, YES.
Parents: it’s 10 o’clock… do you know where your guns are??
No. If the relevant state has criminal negligence statutes, and such charges are reasonably supported by evidence, they should be charged under those statutes.
No. Unless it can be proven the parent told the shooter where the gun was and to go and commit the crimes, how could they be culpable. If you based it on “owner of the gun,” if someone stole the gun from say, your house, and the state could “prove” your gun was not “adequately secured,” then would you be liable? No. This is the same idiot leftist logic of suing gun makers because a gun they manufactured was used to commit a murder.
Yes. The couple in Michigan already set a precedent for buying theirs kid a gun. Now the father of the Georgia shooter is looking at at least 128 years for buying his son the AR-15 as Christmas present.
In this case yes, of course. Kid has a history of “misuse” of a firearm 1 yr ago – no precautions taken to keep firearm from the kid… sad thing imho is that he was still allowed in public school and apparently there was no consequence to his actions then …. libs are saying its not his fault of course it’s society’s failure, blah, blah, blah
