Well, dear gun owners, deal with it. What is your arguments now? Maybe you still think that parents are guilty in cases like that?
Guys, time to becomje a lil bit smarter... guns aren't necessary!

If the toddler had been more responsible with it's gun use, this would never have happened.

 

[mikeymikec]

If the parents had both been armed, one of them should have practised enough to be quick on the draw and blow that menace away!

Funny, had that been at my house that toddler would not have had access to a gun.


Stupid parents are stupid.

So I am supposed to give up my gun because some assface left theirs out when a toddler was around?

If only we banned toddlers from having guns this tragedy would never have happened.

Maybe their point isn't that your ownership is safe... it's that other people are stupid, AND their stupidity with guns puts us all at risk.
Example... if this happened at the store, no guarantee they are restricted to hitting their parents.

Innocent bystanders are at risk, and the argument is that it should not be tolerated.

Of course that is the point, but many are blissfully ignorant to the potential lesson in events like this.

You don't have to give it up at all.

What would be nice though is some actual common sense requirements to get one rather than just no felony, age 21 and a pulse. For some reason you gun nuts start getting your hose in a bind when some common sense restrictions that would not stop most of you from getting a gun anyway come up.

 

[MongGrel]

Maybe the parents pet Reticulated Python would get loose and eat the toddler out of revenge.

Haven't even read it, but I guess the kid knew he was screwed from the get go and decided to solve the problem early.

Good shoot.

Common sense restrictions? Or this:

... guns aren't necessary!

I got rear ended at a red light a few years back.... I suppose everyone should give up their cars.... what if that person that rear ended me... hit a bus full of kindergarteners?

and what about these innocent bystanders:

Toddler was standing his ground...

Within a generation no one will be directly driving their vehicle anyway... precisely for safety reasons.

The real ridiculousness is that this is a solved problem - we can make guns that only fire when their legitimate owner is holding it. Solves stolen guns, solves babies shooting themselves/parents/siblings, solves unformed, angsty teens taking their parents' guns for school shootings. Yet gun nuts are so nuts that they threaten anyone even willing to offer those guns on the free market

If only the parents where arme,...

You guys seriously need to get over the invisible fear

 

[Victorian Gray]

2 hits with one shot? The kid is good.

 

[Londo_Jowo]

The day I'll start worrying about sweeping gun law changes is when the vast majority of Americans start voting until then there's no way the 2nd amendment will be modified and most gun restrictions will be deemed unconstitutional.

Clearly a case of PTSD. It's hard to be a Fetus these days with all these Abortionists running around.

I support any and all decision making based upon knee jerk reactions to singular events. I feel that this is the best way for our country to move forward.

Which knee jerk reactions would those be?
