Reply to comment by Pruedrive in Westport elementary students sickened after ingesting THC-laced candy on school bus by jaydecay123

First let me answer like many gun owners "BUT THAT WILL INFRINGE ON THE RIGHTS OF RESPONSIBLE EDIBLE OWNERS.

Second-I think that is a great idea. Let me know what you worked up and I'd be happy to join you in getting it passed.

Well I'm a gun owner..

Don't be that person and assume how we think. Honestly the answer with me is more nuanced than that. It is indeed an infringement, no where in the 2A says, hey you have the right to bear arms, and defend yourself, as long as you have a safe to store your shit. Like wise it puts another unnecessary financial burden on people to practice an unalienable right, which will only disenfranchise and lead to more legal problems for folks on the lower end of the social economic spectrum, who let's face it are the folks who probably would need a gun more than anyone else in society.

THAT SAID.. while I wish we could leave this in the hands of the individual, and say you have been trusted with not only the ability to own arms but to maintain and secure them. Not everyone is rational, or safe and responsibe.. so in this case a storage law makes some sense. I really wish the state/government would incentives gun owners to purchase safes, or other means to secure thier weapons, like a tax break program, or some type of grant program for their purchase.

For the second part they could just do what they do for guns, you have people 18 years or younger in your household then you need to lock up your shit. If you don't, and little Jonny gets into them, and blasts off into the cosmos on an adventure to the ER, then you will be charged with improper storage of a controlled substance. Easy peasy.

True, but someone has to get the ball rolling, let me know when you do.

I mean, I vote for folks that I assume know what the fuck they are doing, and they almost always don't have my best interests in mind when it comes to my 2A rights. As well I have several safes for ally stuff cause its the responsible thing to do.. I do this without having kids in my home.

So you don't plan on getting the ball rolling, how very disappointing and surprising. Think about the children.

So voting for folks and taking personal responsibility for one's self is doing nothing?

How so..? I don't have kids of my own, or plan to have any. As well for the most part I don't really care about others folks kids, cause that's thier problem and responsibility. Sure, I get upset if a kid gets hurt, or in this case gets high as fuck off something they shouldn't, because I'm not a fucking monster.. however end of the day, not really my problem... until someone makes it mine.

If you don't care, why did you suggest the law. Remember it was you who suggested it, I'm just trying to encourage you to make it a reality. Don't make comments you don't stand behind.

Did you not ask me to make a suggestion?

That was after you suggested the law in the first place.
