Should parents be charged when a child uses their gun?

Why the f**k would a government concerned with setting policy for millions of people concern themselves with your particular probabilities, snowflake? People don't walk around with signs taped to their shirts saying "Suffers from murderous rage" or "Poor impulse control" or "Makes reckless decisions." Either a problem is big enough to warrant a response, or it's not. And the fact that 3500 people died from unintentional shootings between 2005-2010 is kind of a big deal.

I might also add that the entire point of a sports car is to drive fast. If we limited all engine speeds to 100 km/h max, we could cut down thousands upon thousands of accidents every year. Pointing out that going faster than that is what really increases risk isn't an argument against implementing reasonable regulations to address that problem. Just like you being a special snowflake isn't an argument against safe storage laws. Because not everyone is as special as you, and more importantly, the victims are not always the one responsible for the accident.

Speeding is one of the lowest causes of accidents btw.

Speeding and aggressive driving cause a third of lethal accidents. Slower speeds cause far more accidents, but obviously crashing your car at 50 km/h is drastically safer than crashing at 120 km/h. In any case, the point stands.

Actually I suffer from boredom of the uninspired over vocabed zingers from keyboard heros with to much time on thier hands.

Back to the OP question: if there was criminal negligence that was proven, then yes, charge the parents for it, if not then dont charge them.
