So, unless we lock our guns up in our homes, we are responsible for an ant of a 3rd party who, for instance, stole the weapon and caused damages, injury or death?
While this new law isn't great, it could be an improvement over what we have today.
I'm not sure I would oppose S.1805 based only on this amendment. If they can keep it clean from other poison pill amendments, this might be the best we can get. I do wish they would vote on S.1806, with no amendments, for a straight up or down vote first, though. If it passes clean, then I think that woudl be doing better than the amended bill at this point.
