    It was reported that the weapon was his father’s.

    Sometimes not even a safe will keep everything locked up. With enough time you can saw through most of the commercially available ones.

      There are insurance/registration issues that can address that. Of course there endless possible hypotheticals. I’m personally in favor of some sort of “drivers license” equivalent for guns.

      But a 21 year old age limit almost certainly would have prevented Uvalde.

        I am highly skeptical of registration because there is a 99.99% certainty that it will be the GOP to use it and strip away weapons from anyone who is not a registered Republican.

        disagree. if people want to do something, terrible or not, they will find a way illegally.

        I’m going to go very basic here and say look at piracy.

          Piracy bro lol there’s apples and oranges but that’s skateboards and dinosaurs.

          Even with your point being valid there’s tremendous value for society for making somethings as hard as possible.
