Negligent discharge of a firearm should be considered a serious crime.

Start putting people in jail for failing to secure their firearms, and maybe dumbasses will take their responsibility more seriously.

And maybe more gun owners will decide that it's just not worth the legal risk to own the weapon anymore.
