The issue is that gun accidents are totally unnecessary. Poisons in the home, water, cars, etc., are part of everyday life. None of those things are meant as and used as weapons to kill. Guns have only one purpose, to kill, or at least injure. They are purposely lethal. Comparing them to household cleaning products, medicines, swimming pools or bathtubs, automobiles, etc., is logically fallacious. Guns are not necessities of everyday life; all the other things are. Guns have only one purpose: they are lethal weapons. All the other things have reasonable, necessary purposes. This argument that the pro-gun people constantly put forth comparing guns to the objects we use in everyday life is a completely fallacious argument. It has no meaning.
Good Kid With A Gun Fatally Shoots 9-Month-Old Baby Brother In The Head
The Nodaway County Sheriff’s Office said the mother of the two children told them that her 5-year-old son shot her infant in the head with a paintball gun.
An ambulance and law enforcement officials were dispatched to the house and they determined the baby had been shot in the head with a .22 caliber magnum revolver.
The baby was transported via a Life Net Air Ambulance to Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, where he was pronounced dead from his injuries.
“Unfortunately you could probably go into any number of homes, not only in this county but throughout the country, and find handguns and long guns both loaded and unloaded that are within easy access to small children like that.” White said. “We always think that nothing like that will ever happen to us. This just shows that it can happen and it does happen all the time.”

Question: Isn't it a tad bit suspicious that the mother of the children claimed her baby was shot by a paintball gun? I'm always suspicious of any parent that allows their child to have access to a gun.
I'm just asking questions here.
That baby met a violent death which could have easily been avoided. The 5-year-old boy will have to live with this for the rest of his life.
There is no way to force people to keep their kids safe.
I realize the nutters disagree but IMO, not every person should have access to guns.

Well...since you mock the reality...there are 60-70 child gun accidental deaths each year....in a country of over 310 million people...with over 40 million gun owners (don't know the more exact number) in a country with over 310 million guns in private hands and 11.1 concealed carry permits......
sad but true....60-70 accidental gun deaths is a tiny number....compared to other hazards children face each day...falls, poisons in the home , drowning, car accidents.......so gun deaths are amazingly rare in our country......get real......
The bottom line is not how many deaths are involved but something that is meant to kill as opposed to things which are simply objects used for ordinary, everyday life.
They are meant to kill bad people.....so there is that....
This argument that the pro-gun people constantly put forth comparing guns to the objects we use in everyday life is a completely fallacious argument. It has no meaning.
guns are used every year to stop violent criminal attack and save lives 1.6 million times....so yes, they are important tools for the weak, the old, women, the handicapped and others who might face violent, aggressive criminals....I know you say you and your family have been blessed to never face violent criminals....but others have not been so fortunate....people are robbed, raped, beaten, stabbed and murdered every single day in every state of this country and you, specifically, can't say which ones of us that will be.....
No one wakes up in the morning expecting to be raped or murdered...yet it happens to people every day....at least 1.6 million times a year.....and guns are known to be lethal unlike swimming pools, and household cleaning products......and all the other more numerous ways children are accidentally killed....
So 60-70 accidental deaths of children vs. 1.6 million times violent criminal attacks are stopped and lives saved.....even you can do that math.....
