"Never point a gun at something you don't want to kill."
Appearently not familiar enough with his own gun.
Very, very sad. One family ruined forever, it will never be the same.
Mark my words, the liberal media is going to start a tidal wave of gun horror stories in a build-up to tougher and tougher gun regs leading to the abolishment of our gun rights
I've made it a very important part of our life to teach my daughter that guns aren't toys. That she can only touch one if her mother and I are with her.
One of the proudest moments in my life was when my daughter came into the kitchen to inform me that I left a revolver on top of the computer desk. I asked her if she touched it and she said "No. All guns are loaded. I have to come get you."
For the record, it was unloaded. Except that all guns are loaded.
Unloaded guns kill lots of folks. I read an article in a magazine recently, it talked about Jeff Cooper calling it a negligent discharge instead of an accidental discharge.
Very, very sad. One family ruined forever, it will never be the same.
It's true what you say. I had a call last week where a teenage kid, shot himeslf in the groin area point blank with a Mossberg 12 ga. It was a nasty and messy site. Local hospital had to do emergency surgery on him before the could fly him out to a Taruma Unit. Kid was conscious and said he did it to himself, but I still think he and his buddy were playing around when it went off.

Guns don't kill people, stupid kills people.

not everyone deserves to have a gun. i rest my case.
Careful what you say her Bob; there are many here who will want to lynch you for making that statement. I've been saying this same thing for years. People have to go to Drivers Ed for months to get a license, yet all you have to do is go to a class for three days to carry a firearm. In either case people are killing people, Very sad indeed!!!![8D]

Both you and the bobski would be wrong. There is a significant difference between something specifically confirmed as a right and something that is not. The fact of the matter is that according to our Constitution, everyone has the right to purchase a gun.
Driving an automobile, horse or buggy is not addressed. They are not addressed because our founders knew that access to firearms was a right that had endured historic trampling and they saw fit to ensure that such an occurrence would not happen here.
Stupid people deserve the right every bit as much as less stupid people. Our founders were smart enough to know this, as are any of us stupid people that recognize the wisdom of their words. We are blessed by our founders with a document that ensures that emotions such as yours and bobski's are Constitutionally prohibited from being used to decree who should and who should not own a firearm.

I did not have to take drivers ed to get my license for a car, but regardless driving is not a constitutional right. You see how effective the driving program is in preventing accidents. You simply cannot trust zombies to own firearms, cars, sharp cutting instruments, credit cards (see living beyond means), home ownership (see interest only mortgages and arms), and parenthood (see any number of stories of abuse, neglect).
Please inform me on how we can nerf the world to make it a safe place? The government has tried, and failed.
I find it hard to believe that one restriction put on firearms anywhere in the U.S. has prevented a crime
TREAT EVERY GUN AS THOUGH ITS LOADED! Its not hard to do folks, a little common (rare) sense goes a long way.
