Criminally? Only under extremely narrow circumstances (i.e., "Mom...I am taking your gun today to kill some classmates." "Okay...don't forget your coat.")

I know most US laws are written to protect firearm owners who are irresponsible with their firearms but it shouldn't be that way. Hell pet owners are held to a higher standard than firearm owners. Now I know most muraka people will say "well my colt 45 aint gonna jump a fence and go run off and kill nobody."

No, but every day children and other individuals who are not intended to get ahold of and possess those firearms do so and some use them violently against other people.

Maybe I'm just built different or was raised around firearms for most of my life but I feel that if you have something that would be considered a weapon under normal circumstances by a reasonable person then it's your obligation to secure that weapon if not in your possession should be a foregone conclusion. .

But I feel like I know why responsible firearm owners won't relent on this and support this thinking. As with the Left if you give an inch they try to take it all.

fwiw I would much prefer these things be common sense rather than laws.
