Kentucky to consider bill that would hold parents accountable for children’s gun crimes

State Rep. Kim Banta said the law is not an attempt at gun control

Kentucky’s legislature is primed to consider a bill in the new year that would make parents responsible for their juvenile child committing a crime involving the discharge of a firearm.
State Rep. Kim Banta, R-Erlanger, modeled her legislation after similar laws that hold parents accountable for property crimes and motor vehicle accidents.
In the Bluegrass State, parents are liable for up to $2,500 in cases where their kids deface property and the guardian who signed a minor’s driver's license application is "jointly and severally liable" for any findings of negligence or damage behind the wheel.

This is nonsense. If parents can't stop their kids from getting abortions or transitioning there's no way they should be criminally liable for other things they do. It's a two way street, either parents are in control or they aren't.
