OK, you got me. Replace regulated with enforced. Because after all, what good are regulations if no one enforces them?
There's a story of a PA man who accidentally shot and killed his son, and faced not a single charge because he wasn't aware that he still had a bullet in the chamber His lawyers argued that he wasn't "knowingly negligent" (what?!). So what good do half those laws that require safe, secure, management of a weapon, when if you mismanage a weapon, it's ok.....you did it unknowingly?
