Deflection noted.
I ask again: so you're ok with it then?
You have no 8dea what you're talking about do you. You just spout the party line like a good little conservitard.LolDeflection noted.LolSo you're OK with it then?A new study has unveiled a deadly threat hiding in your home.It's pretty clearly laid out that the kid found an unsecured gun and shot himself accidentally.
Somebody had to leave it where it could be reached.
Are you trying to say that was OK?
Every 17 minutes, a piece of furniture, TV or appliance tipping over causes an injury in the U.S., according to information provided to Consumer Reports (CR) by the Consumer Product Safety Commission. A total of 195 deaths caused by tip-overs were reported between 2000-2016.
The outlet’s most disturbing findings however, relate to tip-overs and children: a child is killed by a falling piece of furniture in the U.S. every two weeks. In 2016, 2,800 incidents of injuries to children were reported — a 33% increase from 2015.
Accident Statistics
Injuries are a major source of childhood emergency department and hospital admissions. The most recent accident statistics from the National Safety Council, the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control, and other sources tell us that:
- Injury is the leading cause of death in children and young adults. According to the CDC, approximately 12,000 children and young adults, ages 1 to 19 years, die from unintentional injuries each year.
- Falls are the leading cause of nonfatal injury for children. Children ages 19 and under account for about 8,000 fall-related visits to hospital emergency rooms every day.
- Each year about 100 children are killed and 254,000 are injured as a result of bicycle-related accidents.
- Drowning is the leading cause of unintentional injury-related death among children ages 1 to 4. The majority of drownings and near-drownings occur in residential swimming pools and in open water sites. However, children can drown in as little as one inch of water.
- Airway obstruction injury (suffocation) is the leading cause of unintentional injury-related death among infants under age 1.
- Each year, about 2,000 children ages 14 and under die as a result of a home injury. Unintentional home injury deaths to children are caused primarily by fire and burns, suffocation, drowning, firearms, falls, choking, and poisoning.
More frivolous gun control laws will not save a single soul… Fact
I ask again: so you're ok with it then?
Someone else’s firearm ownership is none of my fucking business, None of your business, and certainly none of the federal governments business.
Guns and stupid is a toxic combination. Ask Evan Sun (aged 4).What part of Mr Suns "god given rights" would be impinged by requiring him to buy a box to lock up his guns ?
What part of Mr. Sun's rights would be infringed by a govt demand for parents to house young children in a place without a pool?
It IS stupid parenting. I condemn him for not taking better caution.. Unless his house has been robbed several times in the past years.. Stupid parenting is not gonna cured by people with power designing your every move. Stupidity kills. A gun is one of a million ways that stupidity can get you..
What you want is ZERO RISK govt designed living.. Good luck with that. RISK is vital to life, prosperity and happiness....
RISK is actually the core difference between conservatives and liberals. Leftists have no concept of risk. In business or in life...

Stupid and the Internet is a toxic combination. Just read Taint (mental age 2).
The father then is doubly responsible.
I personally think parents should be prosecuted for at least child endangerment, preferably involuntary murder in these cases.
"These cases" being when you assume you know all the details based on your own imagination?
Mo. the details are based on my literacy and the ability to read the article. You should try it some time.

A 4 year old was fatally shot in the head with his father's service revolver. Those are all the details necessary to know that at least one of the parents was negligent. I am sure up until this happened they were "responsible gun owners"
I just heard, "I assume that children NEVER have accidents without their parents being horrible, because passing judgement makes me feel superior."
There's a big difference between "reading" and "reading into". You should investigate it sometime. Of course, it might cut into your busy self-righteousness schedule.
Leaving out a loaded gun is not an accident.

Picked up a gun in the house and shot himself with his dads gun.
No drugs, no violent movies, no broken homes, no gang members.
No consequences either. Life is cheap in the US.

How are you unaware of the fact a legal requirement for a gun owner to secure his firearms violates the constitution?Gun control includes gun locks, gun safes and common sense.

How are you unaware of the fact a legal requirement for a gun owner to secure his firearms violates the constitution?Early on I stated that if there was a COMMON SENSE law on the book requiring guns to be secured he COULD HAVE been charged with violating that law.
This thread seems to have agitated them a bit. Is it possible that deep down they have some decency and know that it is wrong ?Yet another gun thread with nothing but deflections and lies from the right, and as usual no viable solutions.
It's more likely the thread is a simple minded exercise in scapegoating. A single accidental shooting no more condemns all guns than a bus accident means all buses are evil.This thread seems to have agitated them a bit.

You want to prosecute the dad?
Fuck yes.
Assume you know what happened and how based on your prejudices? Apparently, THAT is the biggest "fuck yes" with you.
