When the headline doesn’t agree with the story
Mass. High Court: Gun Owners Must Lock Up Firearms
Here’s the story:
The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court recently ruled that gun owners may be negligent for shootings with their stolen firearms in specific situations, if they fail to properly lock up the weapons when they know someone with a history of violence has access to them.
The state’s high court, however, rejected broader firearm liability claims, dismissing the argument that gun owners should be held responsible for harm done with their weapons in all theft cases.
That’s not consistent with the headline.
