Many people believe the Second Amendment gives people the right to bear arms. The missing link is not holding the weapon owner responsible for the use of their weapon. Responsibility means civil and/or criminal responsibility. The Sandy Hook School shooter used his mother’s weapon. He was not stable mentally but the mother was stable and therefore she was free to own the weapon. However, she was not morally free to store her weapon so it was available to her mentally unstable son. Her negligence with her lethal weapon was the basic cause of many deaths. Not a word of criticism of her was heard even though her irresponsibility caused the death of so many very young children.
The National Rifle Association is correct! Guns don’t kill people. People (using guns) kill people.
