Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
CPAC just found their next keynote speakers
Remember these two?
Sigh. Unfortunately. Those two are awful humans.

:O
Because the charges are misdemeanours, the McCloskeys do not face the possibility of losing their law licences and can continue to own firearms.
Who knew brandishing was a misdemeanor
My mind immediately goes to Grand Theft Auto every time I see this picture. Lol
👏 I love that this sets a precedent for parents. You can't just have kids, not parent them, and not be held accountable for their actions. I hope this is expanded across all similar situations, and even extends into other types of crime. raise a kid that does bad things, pay the consequences. then people will understand just how serious it is to create a life.
of course this is slippery slope, but in moderation i think this is fair. if parents did all they could to help the child and they still did bad things, they're not at fault.
They were only held accountable because they're poor.
Don't get it twisted
fair. they couldn't afford the lawyers that rich parents can.
You don't think 2A absolutists would help fund their defence if they thought it would help? This will be precedent setting.
I don’t think they’re high profile enough or nobody high profile enough has rallied for them.
They were held accountable because what they did was absurdly reckless.
It sends a message to gun owners. Lock your shit up.
this needs to happen a lot more often
Hoping to see more of this (punishment for parents, not school shootings). Maybe if the owners of guns get prosecuted for crimes committed using their guns, we'd see people putting their OWN gun control into effect.
Owning a gun should be a responsibility, and anyone who isn't maintaining that responsibility should get punished when someone dies because of their negligence.
Personally I feel like that's one of the best ways to start policing guns appropriately. Owners of guns used in crimes should be implicated in the crime committed. The majority of stolen guns aren't heisted from vaults, they're stollen from people who don't secure them. The people that leave them in the car, or in the side table. You wanna deal with illegal guns, that's where you start.
But, but, infant got car deaths have taught me that "parents have suffered enough already." /s
