No. It is a very specific situation. Not broad at all.
Knowingly selling to someone with self-harm intent should be equivalent to bars serving alcohol to drunk patrons.
Don't invoke rare hypothetical scenarios. It looks bad on you.
@jaeger19 has been promoting firearms for children and trying to dodge the issue of inherent danger and risk associated with children and firearms.
As regards your point, I would argue that a firearm is an attractive nuisance and, just like a child drowning in a swimming pool on private property, liability should apply to any situation where a firearm is left loaded and unsecured in a fashion that a child could access it.
Too much pro-gun propaganda to deal with thoroughly in response. Hyperbole is not your friend. Firearms have never been a successful method for "resisting tyranny" since the founding of the republic. Every person to takes up arms as a rebel argues that they are right and promoting liberty over tyranny. EVERY rebellion has been put down.
Presumably you feel that there is a right to be killed by others expressing a 2A freedom as well.
It would accurate reflect usage would it not?By your reasoning, car usage should be gallons per year?
No you didn’t .You assert that they are, so the burden is on you. I made a reasonable estimate.
Well except for treatment preventing or stopping the suicidal ideation. Yeah. A reasonable person would believe that.No reasonable human would believe that any single intervention will PREVENT self-harm.
no reasonable person would believe that taking firearms away from a person who is not suicidal is going to protect the man in the next county who is suicidal.No reasonable human would argue that making firearms available to those inclined to self-harm is reasonable.
Sure. Just like a reasonable person would think riding a bicycle is a risk for a bike accident.No reasonable human would believe that firearms are not a RISK FACTOR for firearm violence.
Nope. I just don’t follow your twisted , illogical thinking.Once, again, you are having trouble following the discussion.
Gun banners gotta lie don’t you.Evasive and irrelevant.
However, you can be on record in favor of allowing any children of any age free access to loaded firearms since you are unable to address that issue.
Okay. As a result of war /combat?Evasion.
Review this discussion and concentrate on post 441.It would accurate reflect usage would it not?
No you didn’t .
Firearm are a risk factor for completion of a suicide attempt. Reducing access reduces suicide. Now, you will not agree and you will be wrong.Well except for treatment preventing or stopping the suicidal ideation. Yeah. A reasonable person would believe that.

Whiskkabibble.
Nope. I just don’t follow your twisted , illogical thinking.
Gun banners gotta lie don’t you.
Quote me saying “ children of any age or experience etc.
why can’t you gun banners debate honestly???
Highly unlikely.Okay. As a result of war /combat?
A few hundred?
Civilians? Maybe 30? Mostly accidents . A few were shot by citizens while in commission of a crime.
One policeman shot in the line of duty .
Done.Review this discussion and concentrate on post 441.
Yep if a person is a suicide completer.Firearm are a risk factor for completion of a suicide attempt.
Of course. S. Korea has reduced access to firearms and has one of the highest suicide rates in. Your contention is blatantly false.Reducing access reduces suicide. Now, you will not agree and you will be wrong.
No it’s not. You just have zero experience or understanding of firearms and firearm owners.Your tortured explanations about your children having firearms is pure BS because the question is about the routine access of children to firearms.
I did address it honestly . I have certainly given loaded firearms to children.You cannot address the real question honestly because that you mean you understand that firearms are inherently dangerous and uniquely lethal
I gave you an honest answer. You just didn’t like it because your bias against gun owners never ever conceived of the idea that millions of children each year go out into the woods with loaded guns and hunt.. So I do not expect an honest response from you on either issue.
No it isn’t. .Firearm are a risk factor for completion of a suicide attempt.
No it doesn’t. Firearms have no relevance to suicide rates. Japan has no private ownership of firearms but higher suicide rate than we do.Reducing access reduces suicide.
No they aren’t.You cannot address the real question honestly because that you mean you understand that firearms are inherently dangerous and uniquely lethal
. So I do not expect an honest response from you on either issue.
Again, we need to distinguish WHAT the seller is knowing. If you sell to 1000 people and you know, on average, it is likely one of them will commit suicide, that is different from selling to one person who you know is highly likely to commit suicide. Even though the "expected number" (in statistics terms) of suicides would be the same in those two scenarios, the merchant who sells a thousand legal guns has left a trail of (stereotypically) father-son outings in the woods, where a child learned to be studiously careful and responsible with potentially deadly force in pursuit of an economically and culturally valuable goal.Knowingly selling to someone with self-harm intent should be equivalent to bars serving alcohol to drunk patrons.
Prosecutors all over the country are looking at 3D printer scenarios.Don't invoke rare hypothetical scenarios. It looks bad on you.
An attractive nuisance implies that a child is walking down the street - without trespassing - and sees something that tempts him to go in. It is, nonetheless, a concept that seems prone to be taken too far. If the child decides to murder someone you blame the person who had a gun that could be stolen -- if the little angel instead decides to rape a classmate, do you call her an "attractive nuisance" and blame her for being too tempting?As regards your point, I would argue that a firearm is an attractive nuisance and, just like a child drowning in a swimming pool on private property, liability should apply to any situation where a firearm is left loaded and unsecured in a fashion that a child could access it.
The scenario of rebelling against a sitting government is difficult, but not impossible. However, as we see today, and as has happened many times before in history, before a totalitarian group deposes a democratic government and takes over, first it exists as a paramilitary group which relies on fear and crime to cow the population into silence. The Brownshirts (Sturmabteilung) were attacking people in Germany during the Weimar Republic, for example. The Second Amendment protects the right of the people to act as a militia in the patriotic defense of democracy before it falls.Too much pro-gun propaganda to deal with thoroughly in response.

Once again, YOUR behavior in exceptional circumstances is not the issue (however thoughtless and misinformed it may be). The issue is social and political policy on the management of firearms and basic considerations of public health and safety.Done.
Yep if a person is a suicide completer.
Of course. S. Korea has reduced access to firearms and has one of the highest suicide rates in. Your contention is blatantly false.
No it’s not. You just have zero experience or understanding of firearms and firearm owners.
You can’t get around the fact that millions of children from 6 to 17 ( or youbger) use firearms safely . Hunting as early as 6 . In some states hunting unsupervised as young as 10.
And you know what happens? Nothing.
“ but but there is risk! Just like there is a risk that I’ll get in a bike accident when I ride my mountain bike or a risk going across my dirt road to get the mail.
I did address it honestly . I have certainly given loaded firearms to children.
now would I give every person child or adult a loaded firearm? Certainly not. Some INDIVIDUALS are just not responsible enough or don’t have the mental stability or capacity.
I certainly would not give you a firearm. That’s quite clear.
I gave you an honest answer. You just didn’t like it because your bias against gun owners never ever conceived of the idea that millions of children each year go out into the woods with loaded guns and hunt.
Perhaps that’s what bothers you so much. You know that you are not safe with a firearm and it irks you that millions of children are more responsible than you are.
The above post was interrupted by the site maintenance. Should be:Once again, YOUR behavior in exceptional circumstances is not the issue (however thoughtless and misinformed it may be). The issue is social and political policy on the management of firearms and basic considerations of public health and safety.
There is no rational public policy that will endorse adult-level access to firearms by children, as much as want to fabricate exceptional circumstances.

Alcohol sales to the drunk is obvious. Your obfuscation is obvious as well.

Why is it so hard for gun apologists to recognize that guns should be secured from access to children. The pool analogy applies.Prosecutors all over the country are looking at 3D printer scenarios.

Jews were tormented in Germany because there was wide-spread availability of firearms. Civilian firearms are more often used for intimidation or vigilantism than for "freedom fighting". How did the Civil War turn out? How about Shays Rebellion? how did John Brown do? do you approve of John Wilkes Booth's defense of the Confederacy? what about the Days of Rage in the 70's?

This is also an ad hominem but don't stop discredit your position more please.If you can't accurately summarize the source material, it isn't an ad hominem attack. It's a reading comprehension issues.
As foolish a conclusion as I've heard. Does a hammer build a house?There is no such thing as gun violence. Guns are inanimate objects incapable of committing any act.
Any accurate and rational criticism of the posts of a gun apologist is typically considered by them to be ad hominem.This is also an ad hominem but don't stop discredit your position more please.

The tool is part of it. How many people killed by guns would have been killed if a gun wasn't available? Ergo, gun violence.

Tavern owners don't have to do a background check on their customers! They can't sell to you if you're obviously falling down drunk ... just as a gun shop owner isn't going to sell to a guy who talks about who he wants to shoot.Alcohol sales to the drunk is obvious. Your obfuscation is obvious as well. Firearm sellers should have liability responsibility similar to tavern owners.
If the state is going to intrude onto your property and blame you because an uninvited trespasser could steal a gun, we know where that goes. If you're one of those people who idles their car in the winter and someone gets in and takes it to rob a bank, do they come after you the same way? Do people have to be afraid to leave the keys in the lawnmower because a kid might flip it in a 'joy ride', or worry about being blamed for underage drinking because they don't have a lock on their liquor cabinets?Why is it so hard for gun apologists to recognize that guns should be secured from access to children. The pool analogy applies.
Without exception, that is what anti gun people do. There are half a billion guns in the U.S. that have caused no trouble at all!When you generalize from extreme, unlikely and exceptional circumstances you demonstrate both ignorance of the subject and desperation.
Look up Law on the Disarmament of the People (1920), which was enforced more harshly after the Beer Hall Putsch. How did that turn out for them?Jews were tormented in Germany because there was wide-spread availability of firearms.
Ummm, I think we won? Thanks to state militias from the North with many brave boys who grew up shooting game from the time they were knee high to a high knee.Civilian firearms are more often used for intimidation or vigilantism than for "freedom fighting". How did the Civil War turn out?
John Brown's body lies a-moulderin' in the grave ... his truth keeps marching on. Now that was an ugly and imperfect series of historical events, but a key point was that Brown was taking weapons from the government anyway! Are you going to disarm the Army?How about Shays Rebellion? how did John Brown do?
That was a nation-state level assassination, possibly resulting from the failure to hang Jeff Davis from a sour apple tree. You're not going to disarm foreign spies in the U.S. either!do you approve of John Wilkes Booth's defense of the Confederacy?
That was some kids smashing windows. No guns necessary to get panties in a knot, not then and not in L.A. now.what about the Days of Rage in the 70's?
My behavio is not exceptional at all. Cripes that’s just shooting sporting clays . You know how many rounds of. 22 a family can use up in just a couple of hours of shooting.?Once again, YOUR behavior in exceptional circumstances is not the issue (however thoughtless and misinformed it may be).
Sure. And the social and political policy of taking a firearm from someone not suicidal in the name of preventing the self harm of a fellow in the next county who is suicidal and plans to hang himself is the height of stupidity.The issue is social and political policy on the management of firearms and basic considerations of public health and safety.
There already is a current rational public policy that endorses the adult level access to firearms to children .There is no rational public policy that will endorse adult-level access to firearms by children, as much as want to fabricate exceptional circumstances.

Tavern owners don't do blood alcohol testing either. The firearm transaction that is suspicious should be stopped and, yet, extremely disturbed people are able to buy firearms. However, NRA and other pro-gun groups have implemented protections against liability throughout the gun industry.Tavern owners don't have to do a background check on their customers!

Either the gun is being singled out for special treatment, because the intent is really simply to disarm the people (the likely explanation) or else this doctrine will dictate every aspect of people's private lives (the likely result).
So that would be another extreme generalization that can be shown to be inaccurate.Without exception, that is what anti gun people do. There are half a billion guns in the U.S. that have caused no trouble at all!
Learn about the fantasy that civilian firearms are to "resist tyranny". In fact, civilian firearms more frequently perpetuate vigilantism and lynching and intimidation.Look up Law on the Disarmament of the People (1920), which was enforced more harshly after the Beer Hall Putsch. How did that turn out for them?
The Civil War is called the War of Northern Aggression by many in the South. The South viewed their actions as those of burdened by the over-reach of the North.Ummm, I think we won?
