Mom has a record as well, so she too is a prohibited person. Lots of existing laws were broken in this instance, so it would be fairly easy to pile on and create a sentence of reasonable length using consecutive sentencing, if applicable.

I have no issue with punishment for the act, but to say that this new law will solve anything is silly.

Locking said boyfriend up for longer periods of time in the first place would have had more chance to avoid this issue, #1, than any new law. Educating all kids on firearms, #2, would have had more impact than any new law.

I talked with Adam Kline and he was instrumental in allowing the suppressor legislation through, so now we can use those tools in Washington. My guess is that he is up for re-election and needs to show his people that he is doing something.
