the kid shot himself. So they are looking for someone to blame. They won't because the gun has no serial number, or so I am assuming since they haven't presented the owner yet.what's funny about the latest toddler death in Chicago who shot himself to death, they still haven't identified the owner of the gun. It's been two weeks now, so probably no serial number. See why gun laws won't work? Just follow the scratched off serial number info.Only because less homes have firearms than at anytime in the last 4 decades.Accidental gun deaths are small and falling.

And this is a lie put out by anti gunners to encourage politicians to push more anti freedom gun control....the General Social Survey...run by an anti gunner who has stated that he wants his survey to push politicians to pass more gun control....is the survey this b.s. comes from...
More women now own guns....new buyers...
Why Women Are Buying More Guns
More than a third of the women who participated in the National Sports Shooting Foundation’s most recent survey identified as new gun owners. This data are consistent with those of other organizations, including the National Sporting Goods Association. According to the NSGA’s Annual Sports Participation Report, the number of women who practice target shooting increased nearly 36 percent (from 4.31 million to 5.86 million) between 2004 and 2014, while the number of women participating in hunting increased 23 percent (from 2.68 million to 3.3 million). In response to a request for comment, an NRA spokesman reported tracking a 77 percent increase between 2004 and 2011 in the number of women who own firearms.
Gun-Homicide Rate Decreased as Gun Ownership Increased
Based on data from a 2012 Congressional Research Service (CRS) report(and additional data from another Wonkblog article “There are now more guns than people in the United States”), the number of privately owned firearms in U.S. increased from about 185 million in 1993 to 357 million in 2013.

Gun industry, Bloomberg media square off over female gun owner data
Putting a pin in the balloon of rising female gun ownership, the Trace, a journalism start up funded by Michael Bloomberg’s Everytown for Gun Safety, consulted the General Social Survey. A project of the University of Chicago’s National Opinion Research Center, the GSS has conducted a sociological survey since 1972 to collect historical data on everything from government spending to race relations.
When it comes to gun ownership by women, the pollsters noted the number has averaged about 11 percent over the past three decades with slight dips, to as low as 9.1 percent in 1989, and slight increases, to as high as 13.7 percent in 1982.
“There’s been no meaningful directional change in the percent of women owning guns,” said Tom Smith, the director of the GSS.
However, the National Shooting Sports Foundation on Thursday posted a rebuttal to the article, citing the GSS itself was flawed when it came to gun data– much as they did last yearwhen the survey noted a decline in gun ownership numbers despite eight straight years of increasing firearms sales that set all-time records.
The NSSF contends GSS isn’t actually counting the number of firearms in each household. Rather it is enumerating the number of individuals willing to talk to a stranger at their front door about how many firearms they own. The two concepts, holds the trade group, are vastly different.
“It is a staple of gun control politics to work to diminish both the size and the ever increasing diversity of the firearm-owning American citizenry,” noted Larry Keane, NSSF senior vice president and general counsel. “The Trace provides just the latest example.”
Besides noting the trade group’s own studies in female gun ownership rates, the NSSF also bemoaned the outlet for discounting previous articles in the mainstream media.
“The Trace also asks its readers to discount CBS News, Fox News, Ad Age and dozens of local reporters nationwide (collectively, a ‘credulous press’) who have actually gone to firearms retailers and ranges to report that they see evidence of more and more women buying guns and taking up target shooting as a recreational activity,” wrote Keane.
Do you know how many times guns pass hands through criminals.......? Do you think that whoever shot the toddler is the original owner of the gun.....and if they have the shooter...why do they need to worry about the original owner....?
well, no one is owning up to the gun walking in the house. So no one knows where the gun came from, yet the little guy fired it at himself and killed himself.the kid shot himself. So they are looking for someone to blame. They won't because the gun has no serial number, or so I am assuming since they haven't presented the owner yet.what's funny about the latest toddler death in Chicago who shot himself to death, they still haven't identified the owner of the gun. It's been two weeks now, so probably no serial number. See why gun laws won't work? Just follow the scratched off serial number info.Only because less homes have firearms than at anytime in the last 4 decades.

You can't get rid of a serial number by filing it off....the number is pressed into the metal...and can be discovered with lab techniques........and of course they just ask the people in the house using normal police interrogation techniques.....it won't be a problem.
well it could win the lottery? Or maybe, they were expecting scratch and sniff as well.You're not supposed to scratch that off? I thought there might be a prize underneath.what's funny about the latest toddler death in Chicago who shot himself to death, they still haven't identified the owner of the gun. It's been two weeks now, so probably no serial number. See why gun laws won't work?

And patrol them and monitor them. Oh, wait, that's exactly what parents should do! Toddlers kill themselves and others and all these people who want to turn that into a pro-gun anti-gun fight are missing the point. 2aguy, do you really want to talk about the percentage of toddler killings among the whole population? How many deaths are too many? How few don't count? Kids should never have access to unlocked, unsecured guns and the stupid adults who let them have access should be prosecuted for criminal child endangerment. It has nothing to do with how many car accidents there are or who drowns in a bucket! Grow up!Ban toddlers.

It was published in May 2013 and is now totally erroneous, just like most liberal anti-gun lies.Another gun story ignored by the so called "liberal media".
More Killed by Toddlers Than Terrorists in U.S.
So let's just ignore terrorism then?
What's the purpose of the OP if not to downplay terrorism?So let's just ignore terrorism then?

I agree with the premise that terrorism is over blown. Does it bother you that I also refuse to get upset that a few people in some foreign country with third world capabilities fall victim to some other third world murderers?
What scares me is your 16 year old new driver sending and answering texts while she is driving. She may only kill herself and a handfull of innocent people in the car she drives head on into but there are a hell of a lot more of her type than the third world terrorists in the USA.
Ya that and drunks. Drunks and distracted drivers are the REAL threat to be concerned about here in America.
What do I think about Americans dying in the foreign countries by the previously mentioned suicide bombers? Answer? Don't travel to those places. It is dangerous. If you travel to these dangerous places you do so at your own risk. Don't expect me to feel sorry for you when you get blown to bits.

No. The purpose of the OP was to point out the over the top fears that chickenshits have regarding terrorism. They seem to be okay with being gunned down in a movie theater and 22 dead second graders mean nothing to them. As long as the shooter isn`t an illegal or a muslim there`s no problem.What's the purpose of the OP if not to downplay terrorism?So let's just ignore terrorism then?

This is why liberals are pro-abortion. They have no ethics or morals preventing them from desiring the death of innocent unborn children.
