Three-year-old shoots and kills baby sister in California

An investigation is underway to determine how the toddler got hold of the firearm.

news.sky.com

The incident was reported at 7.30am local time on Monday when the San Diego County Sheriff's Department received a call about a shooting at a home in Fallbrook, about 56 miles north of San Diego.

They said that deputies arrived and confirmed a toddler had managed to get hold of an "unsecured handgun" and the one-year-old had sustained a head injury.

These events seem to be happening more and more. And yet nothing ever gets done. There doesnt even appear to be punishment for the parents. It appears to be an acceptable risk in the fight to retain guns.

I wonder if this type of incident is what the founders envisaged ?

• Car-related accidents

A small price to pay for our Second Amendment rights

A small price to pay for our Second Amendment rights

We pay a bigger price to drive. Vehicle crashes are the major cause accidental/preventable of death for children.

Used to be
Today it is….GUNS

I don't consider 19 y/o gangbangers 'children'.
'Children' don't vote, join the military, or are allowed freedom from parental control, or Emancipation (in some states it's age 16). Children under a certain age are not considered responsible or accountable. Globally the age of responsibility is early to mid-teens.

When people die in car accidents……it is an “accident”
When people die from guns…….it is “on purpose”

Tell him to use recent stats, not those from 2018.

These events seem to be happening more and more. And yet nothing ever gets done.

That’s because conservatives won’t address the issue of gun crime and violence, refusing to explore solutions having nothing to do with the regulation of firearms.

Instead they play partisan politics spreading lies about guns being ‘banned’ and ‘confiscated’ in a reprehensible effort to keep the base frightened, angry, and going to the polls.

maybe you can show him up by posting current stats??

 

[Lord Long Rod]

Yet another thread where gun grabbers go into hysterics over a cherry-picked shooting incident. I think parents ought to be charged in a case like this for malfeasance. But to suggest that taking my gun away from me, who lives all the way across the country, is somehow going to prevent little baby Tawanna from being struck by a bullet when she stumbles upon her step-daddy's Glawk Fotty is nothing short of insanity.

People need to watch children better.

'Final sweep' search for missing two-year-old Emile in the French Alps

French investigators think it is very unlikely the two-year-old went missing on his own, but concede they have made very little progress during their ground search.
