The right? You are missing the point. She, like all gun owners, has the responsibility to secure her firearms. Now there is one more criminal out there with a gun. Having said that, I don't think she needs to be penalized, because this sort of thing can happen to anyone.
Don't worry, I'm sure they will catch whomever stole it when they register it.

a crime of opportunity is still a crime. and yes the victim does bear a small amount of responsibility for such a crime, but in the end the thief is the one that should have not violated the law in the first place. in my opinion you should be able to leave $10,000 on your kitchen table in plain view of everyone, and no one should bother with it since it isnt theirs. this is what we call morality.

No it's not! Ever hear the phrase "a man's home is his castle?" Whether the doors were locked or unlocked is irrelevant! The perpetrator had ABSOLUTELY NO RIGHT to trespass and walk in and help himself to this man's personal stuff!
From the article: the gun had been left next to a gun locker in the family's unlocked garage.
Semantics. You think a house must be "locked" in order to be "secure." Those of us who respect private property believe that "secure" is being inside the property of which you or others don't have permission to enter.
You pretend to be a moderate conservative. It's clear that you are a flaming liberal with a single item or two that you can relate to conservatives with.
