Not changing the subject. Just replying to others' remarks.
I originally said the stepfather should be charged with a crime, under one or more of the hundreds of thousands of laws already in existence everywhere in this nation. I further said that no one should own a gun without a way to securely store it, adding that if one cannot afford a gun safe, one cannot afford to own a gun. I still feel that way. The stepfather should be arrested, charged, and sentenced to a prison term, and that event should be widely reported--at least as widely reported as the original tragedy. It has been proven that certainty of punishment is far more effective a deterrent to crime than severity of punishment that is rarely given. And make no mistake about it. What happened here was a crime.
OK "evince"? Back on subject?
There's is 4x lower, duck the fact all you want gun nut!

So you are too dishonest to read the rest of the post?
And still we have 30,000, 40,000 and sometimes 50,000 deaths involving cars per year....so lets hear some more or your faux outrage....
Could it be the price we pay for freedom ?

Bullshit. The MOST basic tenet of the 2A is a gun in the home, period. To KEEP and bear arms.
So this was not 'unfettered, absolute access.' It was owning and keeping a gun.....and the idiot didnt secure it around small children.
Parents have to do many things to protect their kids in the home, even against deadly things, so it's not just about guns. These parent f*d up.

What happened? Was the first sentence too long for you? Fire, water, guns. They're all dangerous but useful.
This is what happens when one shits on his gi bill!

No desh, we are talking about people being irresponsible with the use of items that can lead to the death of children. You want to pretend that there is some way to create laws that would stop people from being irresponsible.

Those deaths could never have happened. They have so many gun laws in Chicago it is nearly illegal to own one, so those stories cannot be true.

Thank you, Nova. Maybe we need to ban cars? Or maybe limit them to no more than 10hp, 15mph, and 75lbs total weight with big balloon bumpers all around? No, because that would be stupid. The left never thinks beyond the initial emotion before blabbing.

As a matter of fact, if you remove "gun murders" that were committed in the 5 most gun-controlled cities in the U.S., you find the remaining U.S. murder rate compares favorably with even the UK's manipulated murder statistics.
Then admit that the gun did not just pop up out of drawer or something and shoot the kid....
nor did the bathtub track down the other one and hold him under water
nor do cars sneak out of garages at night and run into others for fun.

Because it may pointlessly infringe on my 2A rights and the ability to protect myself.
Pinheads would rather give up their rights and freedoms than accept the fact that accidents happen and irresponsible fools cause problems no
matter what the laws say.

Those things (most) exist. People can choose them if they want. Cars dont really have a lot of MANDATORY features to protect kids. THere are laws ther force parents to buy special seats.
The one about chambered bullets being deactivated after 2 minutes is just assinine..but new! I'mma take that to my gun forum and see if they've heard of that. I guess cops would be exempt? Their ammo would be illegal for us stupid citizens? The ones who's lives ALSO may depend on those desperate seconds?
