    First off, very few people have been held accountable in your example situation. Which is a travesty IMO. Secondly, it’s far easier to keep track of and store a weapon. Thirdly, the risk is completely different.

      Let’s try again. Let’s say your kid gets ahold of spray paint and vandalizes some property. Many kids and parents have been held accountable in that situation and the risk isn’t really the point, it’s just moving goal posts.

      The point is that as a parent you are responsible for the safety and well being of your child. Which proves you can be held accountable.

          Who pays the fine when your kid gets a ticket on a leaners permit?

          Do you see where I’m going with this. Either the government is going to actually put the world in to enforce a common sense law the easiest way they can, or they’re going to do what they’ve been doing and get the results they’ve been getting while using it for their ulterior motive which is to surveil the general population.
