Yup, it sure was a darned good thing this family had themselves one of them there gunz to keep themselves safe from bad guyz. Because of course the gun loonz must think that the death of a father, shot by a toddler family member, why that's a small price to pay for exercising 2nd Amendment rights.
And DAMN, but you gun zombies sure as hell don't want that freedom to be even slightly restricted by requiring gun locks. That free and easy dangerous gun access is so much more important than locking up guns in a gun safe, with a trigger lock. Nothing is as important to the gun zombies as those guns, and more and more guns, not the safety of children, not the safety of other family members.
Pro-gunners have really screwed up priorities and values; but that's what you'd expect from people who aren't very good at fact-based reality and critical thinking.
Remember all the useful, necessary, important good gun regulations that lawfull gun owners SHOULD support, but the NRA opposes. Because dear God in heaven, better a few dead dads than to cut into the bloody profits of the gun manufacturers.

Indiana police say 3-year-old fatally shot father

SALEM, Ind. – State police are investigating the death of an Indiana man who was apparently fatally shot by his 3-year-old son after the child found a loaded gun in a southern Indiana home.
The 33-year-old Martinsville man was found dead Friday night in a Salem home by Washington County sheriff's deputies called to the scene.
State police say the man, his wife, their three children and a juvenile relative were at the home about 25 miles northwest of Louisville, Ky., doing remodeling work.
Detectives say it appears the man and two of his children were watching a television program in the home when the 3-year-old boy found a loaded handgun in the residence and it accidentally discharged, fatally wounding the child's father. No one else was injured.
The shooting remains under investigation.

ReplyDeleteI missed the part of the story where the family owned the gun. Or where you just making the assumption? I read it that it was not their home so it is possible they didn't know of the unsecured gun's existence.
Not that it really matters much to the family now. Guns should be secured.
Every gun in the hands of a child must first pass through the hands of an adult. This is why we need Child Access Prevention laws for mandated safe storage of firearms around children.
ReplyDeleteIn 12 states where CAP laws had been in effect for at least one year, unintentional firearm deaths fell by 23% from 1990-94 among children under 15 years old. Cummings, Peter, David C. Grossman, Frederick P. Rivara, Thomas D. Koepsell (1997). "State Gun Safe Storage Laws and Child Mortality Due to Firearms". Journal of the American Medical Association 278 (13): 1084–1086.
CAP laws are correlated with a reduction of non-fatal gun injuries among both children and adults by 30-40%. DeSimone, Jeff, Sara Markowitz (September 2005). "The Effect of Child Access Prevention Laws on Non-Fatal Gun Injuries". NBER Working Paper No. 11613. National Bureau of Economic Research. http://www.nber.org/papers/W11613
It is better that thousands of children and adults be stupidentally maimed and killed by unsecured (and loaded) guns than that ONE maybeperp should escape with his worthless life!
