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

You talk about common sense. There is no requirement to have common sense, in order to buy a gun. There are no tests, written or practical needed. You don't even have to demonstrate you know how to use a gun.
These are things I would support as a gun owner. I am a fishing and hunting guide. For my hunting trips I have several questions I ask before I take clients out. If I don't like the answers I get I don't take them. Not going to die over a duck trip. Same thing with a fishing trip if the waves are not safe I am not running the trip. It is not worth dying for. I watch that coast guard helicopter take of to many times especially during the spring when the water is so cold ya got about 5 minutes before your organs start shutting down. Safety first.
 
I have plenty of weapons and have always had several. I am totally responsible for and with mine, just as I was totally responsible for and with my children before they became adults, on their own.
White man voices a reasonable position.
Its not deflection. I was using satire to point out that you are a cu.nt.
Then you satire needs work.
 

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 ?


They are not happening more and more....

No....they envisaged government murdering it's citizens....like in Europe.....

Europe...

In the 1920s, they began the process of registering guns....to make their people safer. That was the lie. by the mid 1930s, the socialists in Germany began the process of banning and confiscating guns, and the same for the countries they defeated......

By 1939, the German socialists began to murder 15 million - 20 million people....in 6 years.....men, women and over 1 million children.

6 years, 15 million- 20 million murdered citizens..not war dead, innocent people rounded up and murdered in camps and forests....

15 million in 6 years.

In the United States, gun murder for our entire 247 year history?

Around 2,470,000

Europe.... 15 million in 6 years.

U.S..... 2,460,000 in 246 years.

Now the math part...get out your pencil....

How many hundreds of years will it take the U.S. to catch up with the number of Europeans murdered by their governments.....

Show your work.

According to the centers for disease control, accidental deaths of 1 year olds by gun in the U.S. in 2020?

3

Accidental death of 1 year olds by car?

77

Why aren't you more concerned about more children dying in car accidents?

Accidental death of 1 year olds by drowning?

140

61, 1 year old children die by accidental suffocation......

Why aren't you posting about them?
 
Guns are the leading cause of death for US children and teens, since surpassing car accidents in 2020. Firearms accounted for nearly 19% of childhood deaths (ages 1-18) in 2021, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Wonder database.Mar 29, 2023


15-18 year old gang members are not "Children," by any stretch of the imagination outside of the propaganda use by anti-gun extremists......

73.6 million children in 2020 in the United States



Unintentional gun deaths by gun ages <1 to 14..........from the Centers for Disease Control...

Intentional gun murder ages <1-14.....

The National Gang Center (NGC), a function of the federal government, tells us that in recent years, between 35 and 41% of street gang members are under age 18. They also note that street gang recruitment begins at age 14, when the social effects of puberty take control (as well as early onset testosterone poisoning).



Ponder that: criminology separates teens from traditional children due to changing behaviors and capacities for risk. For guns, those demarcations should be enforced as well.



The CDC table above showed that for ages 0–14, guns were not a major risk. Hence, the inaccurate claim that “guns are the leading cause of death for children” includes teens, which means it has to include teenage street gang members.




Given what the NGC says about entry into street gangs (age 14), the percentages of gang members that are teens (minimum 35%), and that American street gangs are stupendously violent, you would expect to see gun homicides rise steeply in the teen years.



And it does. Factor in that street gangs are largely metropolitan and that gun play between black street gangs is the worst of gang violence, and the rest of this chart makes even more sense.




Guns Not Leading Cause of Child Deaths | Gun Facts

First of all, the number of firearm deaths for school-age children drops quite a bit when you do not include 18-year-olds.
---
Removing 18-year-olds would drop the gun death number to 28,559 — just slightly fewer than the total for the military and police.
----

In fact, 17- and 18-year-olds make up almost 56 percent of the gun deaths of school-age children. The numbers also drop significantly — 60 percent — if suicides are removed.
---
We are also wary when a single change in the data set — from age 18 to 17 — reduces the number enough that the statistic is no longer correct.


Biden’s startling statistic on school-age gun deaths
 
This past week a two year old shot and killed his pregnant mother.



And that was likely an adult who did the shooting and they said the 2 year old did it to keep the adult out of jail........2 year olds pulling the trigger on a hand gun is highly unlikely....
 
We need child-proof trigger locks for parents with young children. Just like those child-proof bleach bottles, or prescription drug containers.


Anyone who wants a trigger lock can get one, and I am pretty sure all guns ship with one now.......solved.

That is a lie.........you have to throw in teens.....in particular teens in drug gangs, to inflate that number....which is why you anti-gun fascists can't be trusted in anything you say.
 
I would believe that of you.

There's a societal breakdown in progress and this is just one of the hot button issues. Abortion is one of the reactions to it.
But both are unnecessary.
I'm here to talk about it if anybody is concerned.
There is a societal breakdown in progress, and that is why I have some type of weapon for any eventuality. It is not that I am expecting trouble. But, because I am prepared, I am expecting it will end up somebody elses trouble, even if it comes my way.

progressive policies are whats causing society to breakdown,,,

there was a time in this country we didnt have to worry about children and guns,,,

if we still taught gun handling skills in school and self respect we wouldnt have a problem,,

Gun handling is best taught in early target practice with dad, same as safe handling, safe storage, and owner/user maintenance and cleaning.
