justice means what you want it to mean. there's no objective definition of justice. we could kill all americans and call it justice. in fact, i do.

The difference between justice and vengeance is simple. Justice is resolution devolved out of the law of the land and abides by the moral code of society. Vengeance is whatever the gently caress you want due to a personal vendetta for punishment. I can serve justice as a judge who wasn't involved in the altercation. If something didn't actually happen to me I can't act out vengeance (avenging is different but also not justice).

Honestly, even though it's a sane thing that every needs to do, how the hell would you enforce such a law? You'd need a warrant to get inside the house and see it, but a warrant requires a decent chunk of evidence/suspicion for the specific crime to get. About the only use that would get is punishing idiots AFTER their negligence risked the lives of everyone around them.

You enforce the law the same way you enforce any law: you impose penalties when the legal system can prove someone contravened the law. It's not like any of the other laws we have stop people from committing other crimes, is it?

There's restrictions in Australia that guns have to be kept secured in a gun safe or similar and if a gun owner breaks that restriction they can have their gun licence revoked and their guns seized. Most responsible gun owners in Australia accept that responsibility but there's always a bunch of idiots or straight up criminals who won't.

I dunno but when your kid shoots someone you can get charged with accessory to murder or negligence resulting in wrongful death or something and people would get the hint fairly quick I think.

It's a law in CA and while we obv still have shootings I feel like the odds of a little kid finding a gun and shooting someone are lower at least. I know my dad keeps his guns locked up in a fire proof safe just bc that's the law even though no one is coming to check. Although I could be wrong I guess I haven't tabulated any statistics.

But he is only 11 and can't possibly know that shooting someone with a shotgun is wrong. Your brain has a natural switch in it where the day you turn 18, it flips and you understand right and wrong. This kid should just have to spend the night at juvenile to put a good scare in him. Boys will be boys. [/gbssjw]

So what's the punishment? Should he go to jail with actual adults? Should he be put in solitary? Sent to an asylum? Do you want to kill this child? What's your solution here exactly?

Yeah it's either we treat him like a hardened felon or we just slap him on the wrist and give him a stern warning.


it's obviously the parent's fault anyway aside from the fact that there's just a loaded shotgun lying around. you need a license to drive a car but any retard can pump out a kid.

I'm sure glad the legal system recognizes kid are impulsive, can't really evaluate long term consequences of their actions, and doesn't quite understand what death exactly means, while also having the ability to just ignore all that and have their trial be as an adult.

Maybe they should put small guns inside the kinder eggs and then they would be legal. Then timmy would have been trying to eat his kinder egg and McKayzie was all "no you can't eat those you could choke" and then timmy would pull out the gun filling, put on some shades, "Choke on this" blat blat.

Just thinking about this is depressing though, the family is never really going to get any closure and at the end of the day the only thing the punishment is going to do (whether it's for the kid, dad, or both) is just ruin a second family too.
