I am convinced you act ignorant by choice. If a person steals your gun they should absolutely be held accountable for doing so. If they misuse your gun they should be punished for doing so. If they kill someone they should be convicted of murder. All of that is already the case and remains unchanged by this discussion. However, the person who failed to secure a gun should be held to account for that failure as well. If they were, you would see less guns 'lost', less guns on the street, less gun related crimes and responsible gun owners would be able to own their guns and use them within the limits of the law. The 'anti-gun' lobby would no longer exist... and so would most gun related crime.
