3-Year-Old Shot Dead In Yellowstone After Congress Permits Guns In Parks





For the first time since 1978, someone has died of a gunshot wound in Yellowstone National Park. And for the first time since 1938, the victim was a child, a 3-year-old Idaho girl who shot herself with her father’s handgun this weekend, only three years after Congress legalized guns in national parks.


Though firing a gun is illegal in Yellowstone, firearms have been allowed in all national parks since a 2010 Republican amendment on an unrelated credit card bill passed Congress. The amount of violence in national parks is actually quite low, given the 3 million visitors annually, but the sponsor, Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK), has skewed that data to falsely claim his amendment led to less crime. The dangers of keeping firearms around children, however, are far more well documented.

Shit happens. Father should have secured the gun.

she couldn't have shot herself on a parking lot outside the park or in their home?

what has a park to do with the issue the gun was accessible to the child

Guns SHOULD be permitted in the parks - for protection.

You're absolutely right. Why, this could have happened in the trailer park the family came from.

Still not a reason to deny me my right to bear arms.

it does not matter.

Has absolutely nothing to do with guns allowed in the park.

they are allowed - and that is GOOD

more people die from non gun related accidents than gun related accidents in parks

but anti gun nuts don't care about those deaths, nor do they care obama signed this into law

I guess you're right, because I don't much care. This is a problem for gun enthusiasts. They already bear much more risk than others due to liability, safety, and legal issues. If they want to be burdened by ownership, it's their problem.

 

[Synthaholic]

Apologists.

 

[chikenwing]

Well just to be a hack,Obama signed it into law.

 

[Yurt]

no one is apologizing you dishonest hack synthy

the parents should held liable, this kid should never have had access to the gun, period.

that said, you don't give a shit about deaths unless a gun is involved
