Seems like that would seriously complicate the manufacturing process and require a hell of a lot of retrofitting or overhaul of the machinery in order accomplish.

I guess those proposing the bill didn't really think of how cumbersome all that would be, huh?


they do. any bill that makes guns or ammunition more expensive to manufacture, purchase, or own is a win. I saw a proposed bill that wanted all guns to STAMP a serial number on a bullet when you pull the trigger.. everytime I go shooting Im like.. you know what would make this better and easier? if my gun had a built in printer and it was connected to the cloud to pull from a large database of serials.

How about not forcing people to unarm themselves into walking into establishments in this state?

Can’t get the gun stolen out of the car if you stop forcing people to leave it in the fricking car.
Truth.

I recently bought a Ruger LCP Max .380 and I have to leave it in my truck when I go into stores because I don’t have a CCL yet.

Thanks for nothing you fricking pussies in the LA legislature because you had the votes to override the veto last year but chickened out when it mattered.

Who introduced the LA one?

I'm assuming both democrats on these, but TX is showing us that there are plenty of weak knee'd republicans to assume

It’s not just “something.” Do you think a parent should be culpable if their kid finds their gun and kills someone with it? What if the son found the gun in Dads unlocked vehicle? Still yes? Now why would culpability go away if the same thing happened but it wasn’t a child?

How is a gun getting taken from an unlocked vehicle much different?



Lots of bros are going to be going to jail.

That's not what we're talking about. We're talking about a criminal stealing something then using it in a crime.

If a criminal steals my unlocked car then uses it in a crime, should I be charged as well?

Because you are responsible for your own kids, not thieving bastards to get you to make “unplanned donations.”

That’s a good point. But see my edits above. It’s a quandary. What is considered negligent and what isn’t?

What does being held personally liable for negligence have to do with going to jail?

So what if someone steals your unlocked car and uses it in a crime that hurts people then does the car owner also assume liability for damages? What is the difference?

That's a fair point. So is there any point in which a person should face consequences for negligence when guns are not secured and taken and used to commit a crime...outside of what was already discussed?

Criminalizing someone for being the victim of theft is a bad precedent. That route could land millions of people in jail.

The ultimate issue is that while DA's are letting violent criminals walk, they'll also be in the business of prosecuting and locking up people that have been victimized by those same criminals.

That's the practical reality of the current political climate.

The door was locked officer. I’m positive.


I had a truck stolen a few yrs back, and you start to definitely second guess if you did or not. Obviously I said yes, but days after you start to second guess yourself some. Playing it thru your head on if you pressed it and remember hearing it. Along with stuff you may have left in it. Not my first vehicle stolen or broken into so I tend to not keep much in it to worry about replacing. I think the most expensive was my back up driving sunglasses.

I pretty go almost as far as the people CA, but don't leave the windows and tail open. Ha.

You can't prove a negative.

Now what if it was locked with the windows down?

Pretty sure the sponsor of this bill is a black Dem who basically wants to share the blame for what his constituents do.

Can we make the tire and motor oil companies liable for providing the car, too?

My guess is that they are trying to make gas stations liable for environmental damage caused by lefties throwing Molotovs.

So even if you did lock your vehicle, now you'd have to lawyer up to argue that the criminal jimmied the lock when their victim inevitably sues you. Nothing like Democrat politicians protecting felons while fricking over the law abiding working class.
