Why would you leave a gun where a little kid can get it?Follow

Let’s face it; kids are expensive as hell to have around. What with feeding them and putting clothes on their backs and the like.

Far cheaper to just let them shoot each other and stick on in the ground.

I blame Bush

Stupid people shouldnt breed. Any parent stupid enough to keep guns in the home and not have them locked inside a huge *** gun safe (ie:not those pretty ones with easily broken glass) should be shot. When we have children all our guns will go inside a safe with the ammunition kept in a seperate safe.

nevermind, that's Germantown.

Somtimes your only purpose in life is to serve as a warning to others.

I'm just thankfull the parents are liable for situations like these.

Meh, I have a hand gun that Mr.Katie bought me shortly before he left for Kuwait. It definantly made being alone alot easier. Then again I'm paranoid like that and had a hot wire around my fence and all my windows nailed shut.

Jesus. What if there's a fire and you need an alternate exit?


As for this kid, it sounds like he's modeling. Before wackos get all up on my sac let me tell you it's age-appropriate behavior. If the gun is treated as a showpiece and an object of pride and its danger never explained (for example, the father brought it out to show to a friend and wasn't aware his kid was watching), the feeling that this is an item to show off is sucessfully modeled and likely to be imitated. The kid probably knew he was doing something wrong, (which is why he hid it in the backpack, much like you would anything you knew you weren't supposed to have) but the urge to show off was too much for him. Of course this is all supposition on my part.

Although he is clearly to blame, he's not developmentally equipped yet to understand that this particular action could have such a grave consequence, and one that is graver still.

In short, I blame Jophiel.

Absolutely! Nobody needs guns at all. They are a waste of metal and dangerous too. Everyone knows that you are completely safe and that you don't need to worry for the safety of your family, yourself, or property. This world is so full of such wonderful people that I'm surprised the gun was ever implemented in an environment full of aggression, like war.

Hunting you don't need a gun for either. Many hunters do just fine with a Bow & Arrow. Also, if you ever happen to stumble upon some rabid animal you can always beat it with a stick or a rock right?


Fuc[b]king dolt. . .

That would be the reason that deaths due to firearms increases exponentially with the total number of guns availible.

I.e the more guns there are, the less safe it is.

So you're a guns shoot people person? Who/what should be found liable if not the parents? I would rather keep my freedom to own a gun (I own several), and hold a couple irresponsible parents liable, then to have my freedoms stripped away because blame is passed on the weapon itself.

I'm sure that if Phasers, or whatever the hell they used in StarTrek, were made available you would also see an exponential increase of Phaser related deaths. The simple act of owning a gun doesn't instantly make the world a less safe place. Mishandling those guns or being careless with them certainly does.

I said Police officers need guns, as do the military.



I pity you if you need a gun for your family's safety...




A crossbow that you can buy in a store is great for hunting. I said I'm ok with having a rifle for hunting, as long as you eat what you kill.



If you come across a rabid animal, and you have enough time to aim your rifle at it and shoot it, it hasn't seen you yet and you obviously have enough time to just turn around and walk away.

Ewww dude. What kind of sick-o are you? I can't believe you'd suggest I eat a person, even if they are homeless and seasoned just right.

What, none of you have ever had to perform community service?

As I said before, better the blame to be placed on the parents then to be placed on the weapon itself. I for one own several guns and have never shot anyone. I'm not going to shoot anyone either. Why should my gun and my person be held responsible for some as[/b]shats lack of ability to keep track of their kids or their guns. Like Katie said, responsible parents should have guns in safe places, out of reach of children. Jesus Christo ... jump the gun lately?
