> mentally ill adult, not an innocent victim
Did you really mean that? He may not have been a child, but he does sound like an innocent victim. If he were sufficiently mentally disabled he would get some similar protections to a child because of his inability to consent.
Maybe, but let's say the same person was playing with a gun. Would they reach the same outcome? Most likely
Is this a talking gun? If not, then it does not seem like a good analogy.
The entire world has rules against gun ownership. America is an outlier, and has constitutional rules that alter the discussion.
In other situations the person wouldn’t have access to a gun. Let alone a gun that encourages it to stage a mass casualty event.
Nothing in the article alleges significant disability though. You're projecting your own ideas onto the situation, precisely because of the misleading title.
Please recognize that this is coverage of a lawsuit, sourced almost entirely from statements by the plaintiffs and fed by an extremely spun framing by the journalist who wrote it up for you.
Read critically and apply some salt, folks.
I'm just passing judgement on the words Gemini used. If you used those words towards another non-disabled adult and then they killed themselves, there's a fair chance you would end up in prison.
