If someone can figure out a way to stop morons from leaving guys where 5 year olds can use them Id feel alot better about guns. www.cnn.com/2015/01/20/us/missouri-boy-shoots-baby-brother/index.html5-year-old boy finds gun, shoots baby brother in head
(CNN)The mother called 911 to say her 5-year-old boy shot his baby brother with a paintball gun. But it wasn't a paintball gun. It was a .22-caliber Magnum revolver. And the 9-month-old boy didn't survive. Missouri authorities are trying to figure out what led up to the shooting Monday in Elmo, in the northwest corner of Missouri. "At this point foul play is not suspected, and it appears at this time that the shooting was accidental," the Nodaway County Sheriff's Office said. Sheriff Darren White told CNN affiliate KCTV that the baby was in a playpen when his brother found the gun lying on a bed. Authorities say the gun belongs to a relative, but not the mother. The sheriff said guns are rampant in the rural community. "We are big supporters of firearms around here," White told CNN affiliate KETV. "We have a lot of people that own weapons. They hunt. They target shoot. ... Most people are very safe with them, and this is one of those cases where everything went together in the wrong way." Authorities have not determined whether charges will be filed against any adult in the case. But, but, but.... popyc.org/images/signboard/gun.jpgOh I get it. It's not guns that kill people. It's five year olds that kill people. |

What law should be instituted to stop this? Serious question? Colorado made marijuana legal. There have been children who have died from eating edibles that were laying around. Who's fault is it that they died, the marijuana or who left it laying around. The same could be said for a child who drinks a poisonous household chemical. |

I don't think there is a law that stops this. It just pisses me off. Maybe there is a technology fix? Im just fantasizing...a gun that auto locks if unmoved for 5 minutes then opens only when the owner enters a code...yeah I know it's ridiculous but this shit drives me insane. |

Instead of throwing out strawman attacks and asking me to make arguments for you, why don't you try making an argument with some substance. Your argument was that universal background checks for private sales would keep guns off the black market. I think that universal background checks do nothing but punish law abiding citizens. First of all, universal background checks are not enforceable without gun registry. Second of all, I do not believe that many law abiding citizens are going on the streets no selling guns to shady people. Those that are doing it are not going to stop due to a background check. Before you start, I'm not saying registration leads to confiscation, but find me one instance where confiscation wasn't preceeded by registration. I am am a colorado citizen,the dems in colorado passed a law requiring background checks on private sales. Please tell me how tHis is enforced? All 64 sheriffs, republican and democrat are against the law and have filed suit. It is unenforceable. It is now illegal for me to loan/transfer a gun to a friend for a hunting trip. Does that make sense? Do you think this will stop criminals from buying guns on the black market? Law enforcement doesn't. Im tired of you not putting an avatar in your profile. seriously how do you expect to be taken seriously when you wont even take the time to change dickbutt out for something new. I gave you one now a red 75 bronco |

Turned them off and didn't notice. Kids pick up the iPad so I don't usually have them on.
just checked it out, it is close. I will have to resize a pic and upload my bronco. Never thought to see if anyone is into wheeling around here.

I agree, it is so senseless. No clue what the hell is wrong with people. Zero chance my kids will have access to my firearms. Hell, they don't even know I have them. |

You think way too many idiots own a gun just to own a gun? A lot people went out to buy AR-15's before they were banned, think the majority of purchasers were people who should never own a gun let alone a AR-15? Um, the AR isn't banned. |

The fork argument is reaching, but how about the dumbass parent who doesnt use child locks and leaves toxic chemicals where toddlers can get to them? yes, guns are shiny and attractive to kids, so is the blue cleaning fluid under the sink. How do you legislate to prevent stupidity without completely removing the offending item? And we can all agree, I think, that guns are here to stay. To me, all you can do is impose harsher penalties on parents who leave guns laying around that then lead to kids getting shot. |

But nothing happens to these parents because losing their kid "is punishment enough." |
