Letter to the editor: So it's the gun's fault again?
Regarding the article “Pa. Supreme Court hears debate on gun-industry immunity in lawsuit over Mt. Pleasant boy’s death” (April 9, TribLive): So now it really is the gun’s fault for going off? Once more it’s an object’s fault for an individual’s actions.
A gun cannot fire on its own. It needs a human to pull the trigger. That the person who pulled that trigger didn’t know or understand, or ignored, basic gun safety rules is obviously not important. As a gun owner, I know that you always need to check the chamber to ensure there is not a bullet in it. And the No. 1 rule is always treat every gun as if it were loaded. Just ask Alec Baldwin.
