J,


Why in the world does the right wing think that is a logical reply..

Don`t be concerned, other things k**l more people, lets not bother ourselves about this problem...

do you honestly think that is in anyway reasonable??

JFlorio Loc: Seminole Florida

Yes troll I do. It was a tragic accident. Horrible. However; a statistical anomaly. You snowflakes want to equate an accidental shooting, with right wingers and gun nuts. Wh**ever that is. Quit with the feigned outrage. We know why the left is up in arms over this.. Many more teenagers shouldn’t be driving. Wanna ban that ?

Who said that this mother was a right winger??

Who said I was talking only about this single event???

Who said it was not an accident??

yet, again why do you and the right think we should ignore a nasty t***h because it is not the number one k**ler of Americans?

why would anyone think that is a good idea??

JFlorio Loc: Seminole Florida

What nasty t***h am I ignoring? That some people shouldn’t have a gun. Seems common sense to me. Look I went and got my CC not long ago yet I don’t carry, yet. Know why? Because I haven’t practiced drawing, flipping off the safety and just general shooting for awhile I feel I have no business walking around armed until I do.

Good for you J,

I support you 100%... have no issue with you specifically..

Bad Bob Loc: Virginia

Sure would h**e to live in some s**thole place that I felt the need for a cc.

lindajoy Loc: right here with you....

I know and it is truly d********g!!! Not a word about the mothers feelings or the child just well, what we see here..

I hope I will never become callous about life or so hardened I can not feel the despair of others..

You've been hitting the pipe again if you think a woman with kids is anything but a freedom loving right winger, exercising her rights to protect her family. As the topic implied, there have been a lot of little kids getting their hands on guns or being shot.

California actually had a problem with that same thing, gun security and t***sport laws made a huge difference. If a kid gets a gun and shoots someone chances are you will be prosecuted for negligence in this state. In freedom loving states it's just an unfortunate accident, and the poor parents are already traumatized so why put them in jail too.

Growing up we had two cases of neighbors having kids (teenagers) playing with their parent's guns, showing them to their friends where another kid got shot. Laws requiring guns to be secured are as sensible as gun laws get, and they do keep these things from happening.

woodguru

And t***sport laws, and gun lock/security laws would prevent a large number of these. But laws to prevent i***ts from being i***ts is a violation of your right to be free i***ts

woodguru

I don't mix issues, if there is a way to do something that protects kids from being accidentally shot it's worth doing, and that has nothing to do with a******n which is legal.

Like I've said, California enacted laws that have been quite effective at reducing these types of accidental deaths. And they do not infringe on a freedom loving gun lover's right to have guns in any way.

woodguru

The part of the brain that deals with reason has been damaged or doesn't work right. Trying to pose reasonable points of view it's like nobody is home.

woodguru

I wish more people thought like that.

When I buy a new gun I sit and handle it when I'm watching TV, work the slide, dry fire it. Then I take it apart and look for wear and rub marks on rubbing surfaces and I polish those so it's smoother. I like to be able to handle a gun in the dark, check to see if it's loaded, etc.

And yes, that defense gun is not as good if it can'r be smoothly drawn and readied, if you don't have a model that can be super safe with a chambered round that should be part of pulling a gun out.

woodguru

Try having enough common sense to know that there are ignorantly careless people, that if we have laws that make gun safety a forced thing the awareness will save kid's lives. It has made a difference in California. That difference adds up to a lot of kid's lives, hundreds if not thousands.

I don't have much sympathy for the parent that let's a little kid get their hands on a gun and then shoots someone else. In a couple of these cases the "responsible" adult is the one that gets shot, and that is Karma. And the mother that drops a loaded gun and shoots a kid? Sorry not much sympathy here.

I had a friend growing up that shot his brother, it didn't k**l him, but horribly disfigured his face. This guy is a mess, a basket case. He is a drug and alcohol abusing mess, he's suicidal, he never will get over this. I blame the parents, so does he, and so do they. They were part of the support for passing gun security laws to where kids can't get their parents guns.

All of the right wing responses here (most) are not about what laws are sensible because they work, but about what morons liberals are for wanting to interfere with their rights to continue to be i***ts.

and no matter how many times facts are shown to them.. they can not understand..

I believe most 2nd amendment enthusiasts, such as myself have no problem with common sense gun safety laws and practices. If someone has kids and or neighbors, workers, wh**ever in theirs house and doesn't secure their guns they shouldn't have weapons in the first place. Once again the problem is that law or penalty for violating such law is enforced after the fact. I believe liability should be assessed upon the irresponsible party. My NRA magazine and the gun dealership I use constantly talk about allowing no access to your guns to unauthorized individuals. There is no excuse for leaving a weapon where someone can easily get to it that shouldn't.
