What a horrible thing that has happened.
I would bet that alot more children were lost today due to hospital acquired infections.
But why do we NEVER hear about those.
Or cps failures where parents neglect or beat their children to death, yet they go after parents under the guise of neglect when these same parents take their child to TWO seperate doctors in one day.
Why do we hear of one tragedy all of the time but not the other much more numerous tragedies that are TOTALLY preventable??
Oh that's right, someone ...or someones has an agenda.
This was a completely preventable death! The parents should have the full force of the law thrown at them publicly.
Have your Guns fine, but bloody well make sure you use them responsibly!
Gun suporters use cars as a example. Welll like cars there should be rules on takeing classes before you handle them and rules on safely handling them.
This was not at all preventable, this is why we call them accidents and not on purposes. Accidents will happen, there is nothing we can do to prevent that! But hospital acquired infections, we can prevent the majority of those!
This was a negligent discharge waiting to happen.

As muse picture states...just how many tyrants have Americans overthrown with their guns compared to the lives guns have claimed?
I mean you love to state how guns are there to protect you against the government from stealing rights left and right from you...yet it still happens...
So basically that argument is busted.
Another stat..to look for..how many times have guns been used in crimes compared to the amount of times that guns stopped crime?
Yet another argument busted.
How many times have guns taken life compared to the stats of guns saving lives?
Hmm..yet another argument busted.
Another fave is gun control doesn't work...Australia has strict gun control...and yet again gun violence is down and since the gun ban that has taken place...no mass shootings.
Busted

Not really them 'terrorists' been holding their own for over a decade
Not really considering we have all those laws saying thats 'illegal'.
uh what? If a gun is used to save life doesn't that mean it's been used to take life? Busted hardly.
The Us is not Australia, but we do have states like California,Illnois,Massachuetts, and New York show that strict gun control does not work. So nothing was 'busted'
Neo..when taking apart a post and going point by point the other usually refutes it with facts...which you didn't even come close to doing.
What do terrorist in another country have to do with gun owners in America?
You do know I mean someone in the process of committing a crime..such as robbery, rape and etc. right?
So to you the only way to save a life is to take a life? Really...your serious...? You do know there have been times where life was not taken in order to save another...that means guns to.
You do know the surrounding states do not have gun control..so if a criminal wants a gun..go to those states and return with weapon.
Also do not give the stupid argument that another gave.."the states do not allow guns traveling from state to state"..like criminals are going to listen to state laws concerning guns transfer...just not any other laws..
So yeah everything was still busted...try harder..
What facts? All I saw was opinion
Yes!! people drive out of state to get their illegal guns instead of a trunk out of a car on the next street. Makes perfect sense.
Nope the only thing that was busted is what most people already know gun laws do not prevent crime.
