That was one loaded diaper.
honestly, if you are convinced that you can't safely leave your house without being armed, maybe you should just stay home.
i see stories like this regularly

And despite how awful it is, all I think of is how that parent should go to jail for leaving access of her guns to children of that age. Not that she shouldn't have been able to own the gun.

as far as i can tell she was fully within her rights to own a gun. she should never be allowed to own one again, imho.
It wasn't that she was allowed to own one. It's that it was unsecured in a place where kids could get to it. Kids too young to be able to be taught intelligently not to do something.

yeah. i wish there was a way to make sure gun owners were responsible gun owners. unfortunately, that's pretty far down the list of possible policy approaches in our country.
I think it's people looking for a reason to carry a gun. I RARELY carry a gun. The only time I carry my gun is when we go on vacation and when I get called out late at night to one of our rental properties. Other than that. I don't feel the need to carry a gun. I feel most situations that come up I can handle without pulling a fire arm.
I carry on similar occasions. I don't routinely carry every day. It's a lot of responsibility. I do keep a pistol in my vehicle but it is in a safe that requires an rfid to open.
What are y'alls thoughts on how to control the "black market" if any significant changes were to ever happen with gun control? By significant changes I'm not talking about a ban on guns or ammo altogether. But for example, if there ever were legislation that made it significantly harder to obtain a gun via retail/legal means. How would "you" suggest controlling the black market that certainly will explode. It's pretty big right now.
as always, the devil would be in the details, but i think attaching liability to the last legal owner when a gun showed up in the black market/used for a crime may help.
Part of the details could be legislation that any firearm had to be sold through an authorized dealer. It wouldn't eliminate "private sales" per se, but would put an authorized agent between the two private parties to process the sale. A stolen firearm paperwork would have to be filled out to exempt previous legal owner from liability of current illegal holder of gun.
Grandpa buys a .410, decides to give it to his grandson. Either grandpa or grandson's parents assume liability for actions of the minor with the gun until grandson becomes an adult. When I was 8 I threw a rock threw a window of a neighbors car as he was driving by. Don't ask me why I did, I just did. My dad had to pay for it.
Works fine for new gun sales, but does little for the 300-ish million already out there.
And of course does nothing wrt addressing criminal sales / trades.
Oh I know. That's why I asked the question how people plan on dealing with the black market. The easy part is new gun sales. The hardest part is existing legal gun owners, existing illegal gun owners and dealing with black market transactions.
