I am totally in favor of the laws that require people to keep their
guns locked up but it is the law in every state to secure your
swimming pool, yet drowning is the most frequent cause of accidental
death in toddlers (1-5) and I do not see JPS or any of the other
lefties here demanding that those parents go to jail.
In fact gun deaths end up down in "other" in the tables for pre
adolescents (CDC WISQARS database) but from the hysteria, you would
think they were being killed in droves.

Right because everything is equal, right, right, right?

The question is why you "hysterians" think a kid dying from a gun
accident where the gun was improperly stored is any worse that dying
in a car, when they were illegally unrestrained, dying in an illegally
unprotected swimming pool or being poisoned from improperly stored
chemicals, in spite of the FACT that gun accidents barely move the
needle on the gauge of child deaths.
I would post sensational news stories of these other types of
accidents but they are not even unusual enough to make the news.
More toddlers are killed or injured from detergent pods than firearms
but they are still being advertised on TV and I see them in every
grocery store.

This story JPS posted is purely agenda based hysteria, not backed any
kind of reality.

"A gun was improperly stored."

How about a couple of dozen guns improperly stored. There are stories
of kids killing themselves or their siblings, friends by accident
nearly every day.

Gun culture provides these opportunities. I guess I should be happy
about them, since they appear to be supporting Darwin's theory but
only when they kill themselves or their siblings.

Mr nutso, the car culture is by far the most common of all kid killers.
Every time you get behind the wheel you run the risk of becoming a kid
killer. Take a taxi. Save a life. ;-)

You don't leave running cars lying around the house, nor are they
designed to kill things. They're what's called transportation, dummy.

Cars are very efficient killers. That's what's called unintended
consequenes. Dummy!
