The gun's owner needs about 10 years in the state penitentiary for letting that happen.

because a nation of 300 million terrified people suckered into buying guns will make them gobs of money.

It is about the money. period. The NRA makes millions off of subscribers and their 2nd Amendment fundraisers that help "defend their rights!"
It makes untold millions upon millions for the gun manufacturers.
Our children's safety is the last fucking thing on their greedy minds. it is the almighty dollar bill.

And lifetime prohibition against ever touching, let alone owning a gun again.
