Just heard this one today

 

[Reel]

Guns don't kill people.... I kill people.

 

[Yossarian]

"The Anson County Sheriff's Department is investigating the death of a 12-year-old boy.

John Vann's sister found him behind a home in the Burnsville area Monday night. Investigators said Vann had a gunshot wound to the head and that a rifle, which he had received for Christmas, was found next to him.

Vann was airlifted to Carolinas Medical Center, where he died early Tuesday morning.

Police are waiting on the results of an autopsy to make a final determination on what happened."

Yeah let's call in Sherlock Fvcking Holmes to solve that one.

Instead of blaming guns, we should teach responsibility.

For instance, what if the girl had thrown a rock and fractured his skull?

Blame the parents!

Rocks aren't designed as weapons.

Guns were designed to kill/injure things.

i certainly think education would help. but...really, guns are designed purpose is to kill. a rock has more than a singular use as a weapon.
while guns may now represent more uses they seem to all stem from the purpose to wound or kill.

I got a BB gun when I was 14 I think it was. Maybe 15. Anyway, I destroyed a lot of property around the house with it. Awesome gift though. Also, my kids are never getting toy guns. My parents used to let us get any we wanted and looking back I can't believe that I'm still able to see out of both eyes.

I don't think they should give kids bikes either. Do you know how many kids crack their melons open each year on bicycles?

The problem isn't the guns, the problem is people who don't know how to use them in a safe & responsible manner.

Giving your kids a gun without proper training is stupid.

But we let police officers have guns, and they get training, yet still they manage to have accidents too. There's video of a policewoman(figures) in LA or Las Vegas, that almost shots a guy in the head cause she kept her finger on the trigger when moving to holster her weapon. Then there was the female cop( i sence trend) that shot some school kid up in Penn when her gun "discharged" and she doesn't know how.

I guess the morale of the story is DONT GIVE GUNS TO WOMEN!! !LOL

 

[MooseKnuckle]

If you are properly trained in the use of firearms, accidents don't happen. It's a mistake. Mistakes can't be tolerated.

See, if Michael Moore was president none of this would have ever happened.

Guns don't kill people, Apes with guns kill people.

Heh, my friend got a pellet gun for christmas...shoots almost as fast as a rifle would...It scares me.

Responsibility falls to the parents.

When I grew up, there werre very few accidents and as Viper indicated, many grew up with fire-arms around the house. We were trained to use them and understood how they could be deadly.

Nowdays, kids see guns being pointed at people and have no concept that the weapon can do damage. Or they are raised in an environment that it is acceptable.

Young kids see people being shot in movies. A couple of months later, the same actor shot again. What does that imply.
Shooting in video games does the same thing. Numbs the person to what the actual reality is.
