I don’t think it’s a slippery slope at all. Reckless parents deserve jail when their recklessness causes death. You want to buy dangerous weapons, you are responsible for whoever you give access to them, especially kids and a no brainer when your kid has mental health issues.
As far as car deaths, there is a case right now where a kid was known to be a dangerous, high speed driver. Mom did nothing about it. Kid crashes and kills the passenger. That parent is now in hot water.
I’m against the sale of high capacity weapons. Maybe some day we’ll come to our senses. In the meantime, this will help…especially with school shootings.

How and why do you feel the need to tell me how many rounds I need to defend myself, or to use in overthrowing the government?
I propose we governor all cars at 45MPH, because it will save lives, does that work for you?
Then, that all pools must be drained and filled in because of the far MORE lives lost to drowning than are killed with any rifle in a year, let alone the few that are killed with AR15s.
Further, if every child was eductated virtually at home, school shootings would NEVER occur, ending the debate forever.
And, none of the solutions I proposed steps on the 2nd Amendment, or offend anyones constitutional rights.
I see no guarantee for high speed cars, let alone a right to own a car, in the constitution, nor for pools, or, to be educated in a dangerous gun free, unproteced environment.
Lets do it, if it saves ONE life.............
