A three year old is killed while playing with one of daddy's loaded
guns
and you call it an accident? It was negligence at the very least.
The
father should be brought up on criminal charges.

I don't disagree as I said in my last note but being devil's
advocate,
would you feel the same way if the kid found the car keys and drove
the car out in front of a school bus full of handicapped kids, driven
by a pregnant woman?

The even bigger question is how does the three year old tell the
difference between your example bus and a bus filled with normal kids
being driven by a barren woman?

Given the choice, what which bus would the three year old hit?

OK I just threw in the school bus, the handicapped kids and the
pregnant woman to push as many buttons as possible but back to the
point

Would you throw a parent in jail if their kid found the car keys, got
in the car and killed themselves someone else?
It is a similar weapon, potentially deadly for whoever it hits.
There is only one kind of dead.

My point is: That this trouble with guns is so out of control that
our best answer to negligence in gun safety has us prosecuting parents
of dead kids?

WTF is wrong with this picture?

The cat is out of the bag and now we're coming up with idiotic answers
because lawmakers are too scared of the gun lobby, it's money and
political clout.

Fretwell doesn't want anything done about anything, because everything
is morally equivalent. Or some such nonsense.

It is called freedom. Once we decide it is OK to ban something because
it might hurt someone where do you stop. Cars kill as many as guns.
Why not start there? How about banning boats? Maybe just restricting
them to 5 MPH? Oops, that has already happened here over hundreds of
square miles., not to save humans, to save manatees.

Completely fallacious argument. By that logic, we should have no
regulations, no criminal laws, and total anarchy.

Oops... we already have speed limits for cars. Get used to it!
