Shit happens, more laws will never augment personal responsibility...

Really? Link?

Accidental deaths went up almost 20% from 2013 to 2014. I don't think 2015 faired to well either.

There were a lot of mistakes made in this one, that is for sure.

Everytown?


If they say 69 incidents, the true number is very likely to be 20 or less.

Will the toddler be using the standard defense " I feared for my life" ?

Why would you doubt it? Seems like we hear about these stories regularly. The story of the gun activist woman being shot in the back by her child while driving is still really fresh.

They want to perpetuate the specious image of guns as benign objects. The more people see guns as an inherent danger, the weaker their feeble argument for more guns on the streets. Their zeal for a totally armed society blinds them to facts. And it makes them myopic to the central fact that if there was no gun present, no one would be shot.

Because I've seen the way they have padded other reports.

I trust them as far as I could throw Bloombergs armed security patrol

People die.

The person at fault is the owner of the gun for not securing it better, and not the child nor the gun, well except for those old enough to know better ( child ).

You think they are finding dead people and then shooting the bodies just to pad their numbers?

Well based on how easy it is to find these incidents I don't doubt the numbers.

Any home or car with a toddler should be made child-safe, not only guns are an issue, but medications, house cleaning products, poisons, etc.

Also, if you have a toddler, your pool should have a fence around it, with a locked gate.

This story is not a cautionary tale about guns, it is a cautionary tale about bad parenting.
