Bill Named For Teen Killed In Road Rage Incident Would Ban Loaded Guns In Cars
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — Should loaded guns be banned in cars? One Pennsylvania lawmaker thinks that would prevent fatal road rage incidents.

She has introduced a bill named after a teen who was killed in a road rage case.

“I would not want to see another parent have to deal with the awful pain that I deal with every waking moment of the day,” Michelle Roberson said. “My daughter was 18 years old, had her whole life ahead of her, just graduated a week and a half before this tragedy took place.”

As long as you can promise me EVERYONE will keep their firearms unloaded at ALL times.

 

[Criticalt]

Was the shooter a concealed carrier?
They must have forgot to put that in the article.

 

[Jmac00]

no, you may not restrict my rights because your loved one was killed by a maniac. Im sorry your kid was killed by a nut case, don't blame me for a crazy assholes cowardice

Let's just ban everyone from driving.

That way, no one will get killed in road rage, by a drunk or high drive, by wreckless driving, by street racing, by mechanical failure or bad weather.

Better yet, if we're all behind bars then no one can ever harm each other.

Why don't they just declare the rapid transit system as gun free zones?

Why keep doing these half-measures? Let's just ban children. Then no parent will ever have to endure the pain of losing one, no child will ever be left behind or abuse.

This makes about as much sense as what they propose.

 

[Cooolone]

More liberal kool-aid... Make the many, pay for the actions of the individual! And in all probability, the individual even if caught will get a plea deal, have an extensive record, etc. But yeah, let's make all the "law abiding" pay for the actions of the "criminal" who does not by definition, obey the law! Awesome stuff!

I think more people die because of those things then firearms.

 

[speedkills27]

Yep, all about the children. Same tactics used by Hitler to accomplish his agenda.

 

[carpediem]

Another useless law.

 

[Jem45472]

I would bet that if any one of us would ever need to draw a gun, it would be during a road rage incident. Chances are probably much higher for that than anything else.

 

[Phazer]

Paraphrase from an old George Carlin routine:

Today, a man shot three people on a midtown bus. He transferred to a crosstown bus where he shot two more people. In response to this event, transit authorities have discontinued the transfer system.​

 

[Sneezy]

naming a law after someone is dumb.

Megan's law. I think it's a child abuse law but I'm not sure.

 

[GOPerfect]

The cause of death among the population should never diminish my Rights. I do not care what Right "They" are trying to strip me of; all of my Rights are more important than any the Dead.

Bingo!

Law-abiding citizens should not have their lawful rights curtailed because of what a criminal might do.

According to the DOJ , the number of road rage incidents in the United States reported to law enforcement and involved a firearm (including brandishing, or illegal posession) has been between 400 to 600 cases annually. In terms of home invasions, the DOJ reports that between 400,000 to 500,000 cases annually are reported that involved the use of a firearm. With a 1000 to 1 difference, it looks like one would be much less likely to draw a gun in a road rage incident than defending your your home.

I suppose, depending on where you live. Home invasions are almost unheard of in my area.

That's what I thought too, until it happened. My neighborhood was statistically rated as one of the safest in the country and state. After there was no reporting of our invasion attempt and most other invasions I subsequently learned about, I was suprisingly informed that, unless an arrest is made or someone is hospitalized / killed home invasions are normally not reported in the media. The data exists, reports exist, but there are no press releases or media reporting.
