Ok..sorry to hear that.

I would blame a system that allows the person to get the gun.

I blame a system that DOESN’T allow citizens to get and carry guns. History has proven, banning or limiting guns is FAR worse....Genocide, criminals, etc are emboldened to to make us into subjects instead of citizens. 150 million dead in less than 100 years when guns were banned as proof under Mao, Stalin, Hitler, Polpot, Castro, Il, etc.

Oh, dude, stop sniffing the glue! Back in the day, my dear dead husband (DDH) owned a gazillion guns...well, over 20 long guns and a lot of handguns at the very least. He was an avid hunter, fisherman, and gun safety instructor.

None of his students have had any negative gun actions.

Sadly, can't say the same for DDH. One day he took the tiniest of the guns (it was so puny, no one even knew he had it, it wasn't one that he bragged on. It was a classic Saturday Night Special...handed down from a not-blood relative) and went to the woods, made a few phone calls and then shot himself.

I was devastated. However, I never blamed the gun (did tell the police to destroy it) or any of the arsenal I inherited. Welp, of course, there was a tragic boating accident and now I don't have to worry about locking guns up.

The gun didn't commit the crime. The person pulling the trigger committed the crime. How about we dump a billion into mental health care and see if we can't fix the PEOPLE who are pulling the triggers?

No such "system" exists...or is possible.
