A couple teenagers shot each other while wearing body armour just for fun. 

One died.

I think the body armour manufacturer should be sued for making a faulty product.

I think you shouldn't be quick to sue people.  Where were these teenagers' parents?  They should have been there to supervise the teens.

Interesting development, Ethan Crumbley's parents are being charged with involuntary manslaughter. If found guilty, there will be a precedent for parents sharing some responsibility when their kids use their guns to kill other people.

It doesn't seem fair to be held responsible for someone else's crimes, but if you're aware of your kids' mental health and not locking up the guns, then I agree there's an element of guilt.

I think in some cases they absolutely should be held responsible.  Gun owners know that proper storage is important, guns are suppose to be locked up.

Uh what part of "SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED" don't you understand?

I’m speaking to current laws that already exist in many states, that have survived legal challenges and have been deemed constitutional.

Like where? I know Michigan just passed such a law last year, but it hasn't been challenged. With the SCOTUS's decisions in Heller, which specifically struck down a D.C. law requiring rifles and shotguns be kept "unloaded and disassembled or bound by a trigger lock", and Bruen which ruled the ability to carry a gun in public is a constitutional right guaranteed by the Second Amendment, I have a hard time believing that laws mandating safe storage at home in private would stand up to a challenge under this psycho court.

Idiot who didn’t store their gun properly goes to jail.

A jury has found Jennifer Crumbley, mother of a Michigan school shooter, guilty of four counts of involuntary manslaughter.

Prosecutors said Crumbley was grossly negligent and could have foreseen the violence before her son opened fire at Oxford High School on Nov. 30, 2021.

The guilty verdicts — one for each student slain — were returned on Tuesday after roughly 11 hours of jury deliberations.


Prosecutors say Crumbley had a duty under Michigan law to prevent her son, Ethan, who was 15 at the time, from harming others. She's accused of failing to secure a gun and ammunition at home and failing to get help for her son's mental health.

Good video of bystanders overwhelming and tackling the shooter while cops stand around doing cop things.
