The weapon is not at fault. The person who left the weapon in his or her car is not at fault. To suggest otherwise is to stand with the hoplophobes. People have been leaving guns in cars for generations. The corollary is that over the course of time a certain number of cars will be broken into and a certain number of guns will be stolen. However, from the legal standpoint, it is NOT considered a foreseeable act that your car will be broken into and, therefore, the misuse of an item stolen from your car is not legally your responsibility.
The person who leaves a weapon unsecured in his or her home is not at fault. To suggest otherwise is to stand with the hoplophobes. People have been leaving guns unsecured in homes for generations. The corollary is that over the course of time a certain number of homes will be broken into and a certain number of guns will be stolen.
That's just life in a free country. Accept it for what it is.
