Why so little faith? Senator Jim Merritt has a plan. He's going to sponsor a bill to require gun owners to secure their guns and penalty for failure could be a felony. And he's a Republican.
Although in fairness I believe he's just planning to ride this issue for the Mayor's race.

Dunno why being a Republican has anything to do with this? This is not a gun issue, it's a responsibility issue. It should be a felony if your youth commits a crime with a weapon you are responsible for securing.
