| There is only one way to stop this from happening again. Police officers should not take their weapons home. Weapons should be turned in at the end of their shift. Most countries already do this. It is time for the United States to join the rest of the world. |

| Police often exercise less safety than the civilian population. Why, why? didn't this father teach the 10 yr daughter the rules and respect for gun safety?? |

TO REMEMBER |
| As an individual, I believe, very strongly, that handguns should be banned and that there should be stringent, effective control of other firearms. However, as a judge, I know full well that the question of whether handguns can be sold is a political one, not an issue of products liability law, and that this is a matter for the legislatures, not the courts. The unconventional theories advanced in this case (and others) are totally without merit, a misuse of products liability laws. — Judge Buchmeyer, Patterson v. Gesellschaft, 1206 F.Supp. 1206, 1216 (N.D. Tex. 1985) |
