Of course no one thinks it's okay.
The problem is there are accidents with kids that happen because kids are kids, and then there are accidents with kids that shouldn't have happened in the first place, and the only reason it did happen is because there are too many guns in society.
There are not too many guns,
There are too many irresponsible parents.
More kids drown in backyard pools every year but we don't have too many pools do we?
Fine, too many irresponsible people. Can you ban irresponsible people?
More people die from heart attacks, maybe we should ban hearts, hey? Great argument there.....
You can't seem to understand that everything you people blame on some inanimate object is caused by PEOPLE not the object.
Saying a gun causes an accident or a crime or a murder is just plain stupid.
In the big picture accidental deaths from guns is one of the least common fatal accidents but because there is a gun involved somehow this least common accidental cause of deaths overshadows everything.
Let's try this.
1) A small child with a gun, compared to a small child without a gun. Which is more likely to end up with someone being killed?
2) A lot of people out there are ******* stupid. You can't change this.
No, you can't change the fact that out of 16.3 million people carrying guns for self defense, a handful are going to to stupid things......with 16.3 million people carrying guns there were 48 children accidentally killed with guns.....
16.3 million vs. 48
Car deaths.....with children...yet you are fixated on the one thing that is used to kill the smallest number of children.
