Point is accountability of the gun owners and elevating the bar of ownership. If my gun was used and accidentally killed a neighbor’s little girl, I should be at fault. And guns should be just as hard to obtain as a car. And just as every car is registered, every gun should be too.[/quote]

Sure, as long as the same standards are applied regarding any medications you have, the car you own, the knives you own, items used in the manufacture of weapons, etc.

Someone borrowed your car, had a drink with the wife, and got into an accident? You’re on the hook for manslaughter charges. Your kid (or a neighbor’s kid) took some of your meds and gave them to a friend who died? You’re on the hook for that, as well. You have gasoline stored in your garage that someone used to light someone else or a building on fire? You’re responsible. Someone borrowed a knife from your drawer and they, or another person, used it to kill someone? You’re responsible. Would you agree to that?[/quote]

If you allowed an unlicensed driver to borrow your car and that person gets into an accident, of course you will be responsible. Not necessarily manslaughter but you will have to bear some responsibility. Even the owner of a pit bull that was not properly caged would be responsible if it mulls down a passerby. Guns are weapons, if the weapon is not stored safely and was accessed by a teen in a shooting or in an accident involving kids, why shouldn’t we blame the gun owner?
