If you’re not concerned about anti-2A bureaucrats and politicians trying to steal your 2nd Amendment rights, then, you’re not paying attention. Sure, there have been significant moves forward to protect those rights (over half the states in the Union have some form of Constitutional or permit less carry in place), and that’s good. But history shows us that anti-gun people will simply try different ways to steal your guns if their first attempt didn’t work.
And that’s what we’re going to talk about today: another way that the state is trying to take away people’s gun rights.
So, here’s the scenario: A person takes your gun and commits a crime (in this case, a heinous crime). That person didn’t have permission to have your gun, and what they did was both illegal and evil.
So, you may ask, “What does that have to do with them taking my guns?” Chase Smith tells us. Smith writes,
The two parents who were found guilty of involuntary manslaughter after their son killed four of his classmates at Oxford High School in 2021 were sentenced to 10–15 years in prison on April 9 in Pontiac, Michigan.
James and Jennifer Crumbley are the first parents in the United States to be held criminally liable for a school shooting committed by their child, both having been found guilty in separate jury trials earlier this year.
Smith continues:
The parents do not stand accused of having had knowledge of their son’s plan to murder the teenagers. However, prosecutors said they did not take adequate measures to lock up the gun used in the killings at their home in addition to having ignored warning signs relating to the mental health of their son.
That’s right. They didn’t pull the trigger or even provide the guns to their son. No, they just didn’t do enough (according to the prosecutor) to prevent their son from getting the guns to commit the crimes.
It’s not hard to imagine how they’ll next hold gun owners accountable for not making it harder for criminals to steal their guns to commit crimes.
Because in the minds of anti-2A zealots, shootings are to blame on guns and legal gun owners but not on the person who pulled the trigger.
Yes, you’ll likely see these kinds of laws rolled out to other parts of the country as another way that they’ll try to steal your guns by making you a felon for not doing enough to prevent criminals from committing crimes that they decided to commit.
We truly live in a backwards world.
