"Strictly liable" is my problem. People whose homes get broken into shouldn't be victimized again, especially if they've taken reasonable measures to secure their homes and/or weapons.

And, since we're on the subject, going out in public in an auto is inherently dangerous to everyone around you, all the time.

That law abiding person's firearm (or TV, for that matter) isn't a threat to anyone who isn't already committing a crime. Lefties just want to get done through the courts what they can't do through legislation.

If someone steals the knives out of your kitchen and later uses them to kill and dismember someone are you liable? Stolen is stolen, it has passed out of your control; there is no way we can live in bank vaults. There is virtually no degree of home protection which will stop a determined thief from stealing your property.

The logical conclusion of your argument is that no one should have any possessions because they can all be used as weapons. A power drill to the skull, for instance. A doorstop heaved at a head or pillows used to smother someone. Everything is potentially lethal but only those things used by criminals are involved in crimes.

Are you overweight? If so you are probably responsible for children in Africa starving because you obviously ate more food than you needed. Lets put all the fatties in the country on trial and then follow them with the smokers and gum chewers. Why stop with me, someone sold me the gun so lets put him on trial as well and the distributor who sold it to him, as far back as you need to go to reach the manufacturer and designer of the gun. Then get those pesky pillow salesmen on trial as well.

"Now, if we can agree that traffic rules, seat belts, brake lights, turn signals and airbags are necessary for safety - why do we argue against such rules and devices for the #2 killer in the US, firearms?"

Really? These Statistics from 2013 Oregonian Newspaper would indicate otherwise. Please note that in gun deaths, suicides are almost twice the homicide rate.

I imagine the criminals gun wouldn't have the technology major wants added.

Just one, as far as I know.

Suppose the gun in the hands of the owner is instantly unlocked, why not allow someone the freedom to own one. The NRA wouldn't let one be sold in the US. Talk about oppression.

Guns are not the number two killer in the U.S. They are way down on the list, that is very inaccurate to say and just a lie!

Loki Loc: Georgia

Suppose you tell us where such a gun can be found. Or is this just a what if? (I know, it's all the NRA's fault that such guns don't already exist.)

Does that mean if someone was to steal your car and hurt someone that you would be liable as well.

So; if I steal a gun from a policeman, then shoot that policeman with his own gun, which he (or she) failed to effectively secure, then the (shot) policman was at fault, not poor little ol' me? Try that defence in court!

And if someone steals your car and kills someone then you should be held liable. You need to rethink what you are advocating. Same goes with the butcher knife in your kitchen. You need to have this happen to you. I do believe that you are a DemocRat. Have I not rooted you out.

Secure your car, home, guns, to the best of your ability and if they are taken by theft or without you permission not your responsibility. Punish the one that takes your gun, not give them a slap on the hand. Jail them, and no less a term if they have not used the gun.

That would be considered a suicide according to Clinton!

I would make liable any politician who ran an enforced policy through Congress as well as those congressmen and women who voted in its favor and won any anti-gun law, liable for acts of terrorism. People have a right to protect themselves and personally execute any "on-the-spot" perceived terrorist or suicide bomber. As a society, we are at a point of frustration with these idiots to run them out of office. And, we should surround place like Deerborn, Michigan and begin a sweep of all Muslims who want Sharia Law over the Constitution and say nothing about their own terrorist who are hiding and laying in wait among them who will eventually do harm. Islam. the religion of "submission," is an existential threat. It has been from the very beginning. The Gorge Soros bought and paid for "fake" news media is being used to dull our senses to this fact.

Are you so new, you just do not have enough experience to engage in adult conversation.
