Children accidently shoot someone every 36 hours

Brian, you could care less about children. You support millions of women killing their own babies each year.

No I'm against abortion actually. There are lots of ways to not get pregnant.

Well I applaud you.

Perhaps the OP would like to offer his/her suggestions on how to best remedy the problem of accidental shootings.

Any practical suggestions on how we, as independent citizens, might help?

Well proper storage of guns is obviously key. If there are ever children in your house you can't have loaded guns laying around. And when someone does leave a loaded gun around that a child gets the owner of that gun needs to be prosecuted.

Educating your children not to play with guns would also help. If they see a gun they should not touch it and get an adult.

While carrying, a gun should always be kept on you. A purse isn't a good idea as they are not always kept with you. The woman in Walmart who was shot dead by her 2 year old found that out.

So you are wanting to outlaw children then? That's a little drastic isn't it?

Worse than that. He wants to deny them their 2nd amendment rights!

And I guess the most effective means is to not have guns in the house. Can't imagine anyone on this board changing their mind on that one though. But most people will never need one for anything in this modern world. And the most likely person to be shot by that gun is the owner either intentionally or accidently.

Really? Please post where that was stated. And you really think outlawing guns is worse than outlawing children? You aren't very smart.

According to a study published earlier this week by Everytown For Gun Safety and Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, 79 children have unintentionally shot someone with a handgun during the first four months of 2015. These shootings have resulted in 24 deaths and 56 injuries. If such first-quarter figures were calculated to cover an entire year, there would be an accidental shooting every 36 hours.

If you wanna make an anti-gun arguement, I'd think the ones that do it on purpose would be better fodder.

That's in your fantasy world though, you can't separate fact from fiction. The bottom line is your feelings are pertinent to anyone but you. Most likely not needing a gun is not the same as never needing one so incessant crying about those that hope for the best but prepare for the worst doesn't change anything for them.

I'm drawing attention to these accidents in hopes of them being avoided. With proper gun storage these won't happen.

All I care about is that your local law enforcement (i.e., police, sheriff, state patrol) are all "reactionary forces," and being such, they only arrive to the scene "after" you are already the victim, even if a prompt call is made asking for help.
If it's a home invasion, you're going to be beaten and robbed, or beaten, robbed and killed. Following this, someone (i.e., a neighbor) calls law enforcement and reports hearing screams and/or gun shots. Many minutes later, the cavalry arrives to find either your beaten or beaten and dead bodies.
Your standing at an ATM and an individual produces a knife and says that he/she wil kill you if you don't take a large amount out of the ATM and give him your wallet. You give him/her the wallet and he/she kills you anyway.
You attempt to get into your car after shopping and are shoved into it by a male with a knife or other sharp implement. You have your baby in the back seat and you are worried for your child's safety, so you cooperate, are forced to drive to a remote location and are subsequently raped, beaten and murdered, along with your child.
While the list of crimes can go on and on, in each case, the police arrive "after" someone calls for them to investigate and they arrive to find your beaten or beaten and dead body.
Clearly the intent of the original post is that there should be no guns in the home with children, or no guns at all.
Even if all honest, law-abiding citizens gave up their guns, no criminal will do so and would like it if the law-abiding citizens complied with a law like that as that would reduce their risk when assaulting you, with their guns, which they wouldn't give up.
It's better to have a handgun hidden on your person (via a concealed handgun permit) to possibly change the outcome, rather than guarantee that you just become another dead statistic.

You are aware that crime has been coming down the last 30 years right? Dont be so paranoid. Lots of people who thought like you end up accidently shooting themselves dead like the bra holster woman. There is also a long list of dead armed defenders from shootouts. Meanwhile we have all these children dying because paranoid morons leave loaded guns around.

And all accidental gun deaths for 2013...505...number of concealed carriers in the U.S......over 11.1 million.....not a problem........

And number of times Americans use guns to actually stop or prevent violent criminal attack, non military, non police....2 million.....

Number of children who die each year because of gun accidents...under 100 each year....in a population of over 320 million....

More kids die in car accidents.......

And crime is down...even though more Americans are owning and carrying guns...thus defeating the anti gun meme that more guns increase the crime rate....

and even if the crime rate is down.....people are still robbed, raped, stabbed, beaten, and murdered every day....and if you win that particular lottery...you had best have a gun to stop the criminal....

And not having a car in the house would stop 34,000 accidental car deaths and over 2.31 million injuries a year......take the bus.....

Yes 500 dead people is a problem. Why not try to lower it? If terrorists killed 500 people it would be a huge tragedy.

2 million is a fantasy number and you know that. The majority of gun studies say it is much less. The more accurate ncvs survey says 108k.

True. Getting rid of your car would prevent a car accident too. You're stuck on stupid, thanks for backing me up!
