Victim's family opposes court-ordered firearm safety training for shooter

After CSU student's gun death, mom upset with court-mandated NRA course for roommate

The provision is just one reason why the Daly family opposed the sentencing agreement accepted by Eighth Judicial District Judge Susan Blanco. Under the deal, Carver pleaded guilty to felony tampering with evidence and received a two-year deferred sentence that will allow him to clear his record if he completes the terms.

Both the prosecutor and defense attorney said they could not find a similar class hosted by another organization near Carver’s home in Cortez.

The judge appeared concerned about mandating an NRA course, pressing the prosecutors to find an alternative. “Is there anywhere else he can complete a firearms safety course, so he is not giving money to the NRA, out of respect to the victim’s family?” Blanco asked Barber.

She told the court she blames an addiction to “human hunting machines” and a broader gun culture embodied by the National Rifle Association.

Yeah. Human hunting machines. C'mon lady. It was either an accident or he shot himself. If he had been car surfing you wouldn't be pissed off at the UAW or GM.

Maybe if she didn’t raise an idiot he’d still be alive. At least he won’t pass on her failed genes.

True. That's all we teach in public education (I've been in it for 36 years, recently retired, but I fought it quietly by actually teaching my students that there are two sides to every issue). Revolutionary!

Ah yes, the evil NRA boogeyman strikes again. What monsters, offering safety classes.
