    Imo, if it was your gun, unless it was literally stolen from a locked gun safe, anyone who dies by it is automatically your fault.

    Doesn’t really matter what the circumstances were. If anyone is even in a position to be injured or killed by your weapon, it usually means you acted negligently in either handling or storing the weapon.

      They were arguing at the time, he definitely just shot her and lied about it. Even with a sig 320, you need to abuse the fucking thing to get it to go off.

        Even if he weren’t lying, it would still be negligent homicide. If you point a gun at someone, you are responsible if they get injured or killed. Doesn’t matter if you pulled the trigger, mishandled the gun or a magic fairy pixie materialised and pulled the trigger for you.

        The mere fact that you pointed a loaded gun at another person already makes you responsible per se in my book.

      I disagree, if it could be stolen from your gun safe, you didn’t secure it enough, you should still be partially at fault.

        -break into someone’s house

        -rob their gun safe at gunpoint

        -shoot them with their own weapon

        -“its their fault officer that gun wasn’t adequately secured”

            No they had to stop storing them there after the Supreme Court went hard right. Something something Sodomy v Gomorrah or some damn thing. IDK the Republicans just make it up as they go, so it could be literally anything.

        As much of a fan as I am of gun control, expecting gun owners to have a safe that is literally, physically impossible to break into is wildly unreasonable
