I'll tell you what -- you first. Put trigger locks on all your guns, then put
a sign in your front yard advising all and sundry that you have them in place.
Hope nobody ever breaks into your house.

So a kid gets a unsecured gun and shoots someone, the gun owner should
do 5 years mandatory sentence and lose everything.

Why only five?

soon things would be much safer, no more crying grandpas on tv about
their grandchild going to jail after using their gun to kill a
neighbor kid by accident.

Oddly enough, this wasn't really much of a problem forty, or a hundred, years
ago, when gun ownership was more common and widespread.

Not to necessarily disagree with the rest of your post, but it *was* a problem
forty, or a hundred years ago. My family bible attests to that.

As well as others'. Gun accidents were common.
