Good for us
Does this mean the DUI guy gets all the life insurance and lawsuit proceeds?
These morons don’t even read the latest laws. How are they going to follow anything?
Twitter already saying to make you liable if someone steals a gun from you and it’s used in a crime..
This just in....Turnip to give blood.
Of coures they are, because liberals don’t understand the concept of personal responsibility....
You drive drunk you chose and kill someone, that death is directly tied to your personal actions.
If someone steals your gun and later it’s used in a murder, has nothing to do with your actions, the murderer is the person who killed the person, not you.
That is not even in the same universe.
Twitter users are morons.
The moral equivalent to their dumb comments would be if a theif stole their car and killed someone with it...the rightful owner is now responsible?
In this scenario, if a gun owner was drunk and accidentally discharged their firearm, killing someone, should they be responsible? Hell, yes, and in most jurisdictions they already are.
How about a law that requires people who vote for socialists to pay damages to the rest of us?
This makes sense if the DUI driver can actually afford child support.
But make sure there aren’t unintended consequences like the state cutting off support to the kids that would have occurred, if the DUI driver was not now responsible for child support.
Let the state collect the child support from the DUI, and make sure the kids are supported regardless of whether DUI driver pays up or not.
Child support? How is anyone making money in such a case. Manslaughter. Jail
In germany, the way it was em when we were there 15 y ago, someone gets caught drunk driving, never mind killing someone, and they lose their license for a year. To get it back it’s $thousands in driving school.
Another offense- rare- and it’s gone forever.
Killing someone? Child support. No. That’s stupid. Jail.
No one drives drunk there.
there is a dirty little secret that drowsy/tired drivers kill over 1000x more people than drunk drivers
I’m guessing it’s going to be pretty hard to collect considering the perp will likely be sitting in a prison cell for the next decade for vehicular homicide....
Drunk drivers should be banned from driving for life and should pay everything they have to everyone who is hurt by their actions.
Looks good on paper. But how is a convicted DUI killer going to provide restitution? If they have any money, it is likely the defense lawyers will have vacuumed up most of it before the judgement is rendered. Once the person gets out of prison, it is unlikely they will find any meaningful job that will provide restitution of any significance..
If this is legally bounded to drunk drivers, this is a just law, and really should have been in place in all states.
How, pray tell? They’ll spend every dime they have on their defense lawyer.
Drunk driving is different. There’s no way this can connect to somebody doing something illegal (such as lying) to obtain a gun and some drunk - in his own car or that of somebody else who has voluntarily and knowingly loaned it to him - roaring out of the lot and mowing down innocent people.
I think it’s a good law.
It’s as if someone in the Tennessee legislature read Deuteronomy.
Great law. So naturally it won’t pass.
