2 Year old shoots mother in Idaho

Yea, we should just round all the stupid people up and put them in places cordoned off from the general populace.

We should have a respect test before giving guns. Oh wait, that violates my god given right liberal.

Or a test similar to a driving test, people in the USA can buy a gun and keep it without firing a single shit until they need it, that is fucking dangerous to everyone. My nephew was a typical teenage COD playing know it all before I took him shooting, he fired a few rounds and almost wet himself with fear, he now knows that guns are not to be trivialised.

Dumb people make the headlines too often.

So, a few obvious questions:

Was the safety on?

What type of handgun was it? This may explain why it was loaded, even though keeping it loaded is largely irresponsible, especially when it isn't in a holster.

Why was a round apparently chambered?

Why the hell would you keep your purse, which you know to contain a handgun, anywhere near your 2 year old?

Just so many safety fails, all rolled into one to make a tragedy.

Easy solution. DON'T OWN A FUCKING GUN. Or if you really have to stroke your USA FUCK YES FREEDOM FUCK YES fetish, don't let kids around guns. I was going to say inb4 "there is no need for gun control" but the gun nuts already infested this thread.

Deflector Shields are out in force from the gun lovers.

Another example of irresponsible people with guns. Sad she lost her life but it was her own fault. Incoming anti-gun people crying for the destruction of all guns.

What if the toddler had shot and killed someone else than his irresponsible mother? What if that someone else was a loved one of yours?

Would you demand some kind of restrictions on who exactly gets to own a gun, then?

[Orange Joe]

It isn't a senseless argument. If we had more guns with citizens this tragedy would not have occurred.

What crazy jump in logic are you using to get this?

[Elim Garak]

Jail that sucker!

[Almaric]

How is it over-dramatic? This shit happens over and over and over and the gun nuts learn nothing. Do you realize how mentaly scarred that kid is now?

[KievanAquinus]

Everyday, all across the America, people make a very good case that more gun control is needed.

Usually, the people making the case are the people who own the guns.

[Sam the Wiser]

I hope they throw the book at this child, this is cold blooded murder.

Nowhere will you ever find me say it is everyone's right to own a gun. Assumptions are bad mkay, there should be strict laws on guns as well as mandatory safety classes. But in no way should guns be completely taken away from those who respect their weapons and safely own them. Anti-gun nuts are so ignorant they think it would be possible to round up all the guns and burn them in the streets. It will never happen, guns are staying, get the fuck over it.

Extensive background checks, required safety hours and training should be required, as well as redoing those classes every 3-5 years.

You do realize that you're arguing against a tiny minority, right? Very, very few people I've ever met honestly argue for complete disarmament.

Yes, well, the vast majority of gun owners in the US, plus your friends(?) in the NRA disagree with those very valid and intelligent points of yours. That's why this unfortunately lady was allowed to carry a loaded weapon in her purse, when she clearly wasn't capable of handling and storing it properly. I mean, the safety was obviously off, right?

In any case, "anti-gun nuts" are no more, or less bad than "gun nuts". It's just unfortunate that it's the latter who seem to be the vast, vast majority.

Hahah Jesus christ, only in America could a mother be shot by her own 2 year old in public.

Imagine living in a country where you felt you had to carry a gun around with you to the supermarket....

[Annoying]

With respects to the deceased but.......


Darwinianed.

Well, her 2 year old is the one that shot her. She reproduced. Not Darwinianed. =/

[Almaric]

Not your opinion on gun laws, just how you presented it and your choice of words.

There is a point where polite words end. And to me this is it.

But maybe we should make all Walmart employees carry guns haha, if one of the cashiers had a gun on them they could have stopped this maniac 2 year old Am I right?? #GunTard logic

What do we want? Dead babies! When do we want it? Now!

Mom lives matter.

Add to that list mandatory yearly psychological evaluations. Just to be sure.
