Isn't this a wonderful world?

[Lullabye]

When I was little there was loaded guns in the house, but my dad taught me things like GUN SAFETY, and the fact that they can KILL PEOPLE.

No, stupid people with guns kill people.

Still again.

Dimension traveling jellyfish that possess stupid people do

Ah, I disagree. It's out of space Starfish that control people stupid people.

Jellyfish from other dimesnions look like space starfish, its how they trick you.

Whoa. . .whoa. . whoa. . . WHAT?!

I hope that kid and his parents go down for a long time. I understand that you yanks are more relaxed on gun control but this is pathetic.

Gun control doesn't solve anything. The thing to blame is the parents, who should have had it away from the child, and locked up. They should be locked up, this kinda crap gives anti-gun people more shit to preach about, which can punish those who handle guns properly, and possibly get them banned in that area which isn't fair to others who aren't retarded.

Exactly, people kill people, guns are just instruments that can be used to do so, if you ban those, you would have to ban knifes or sling shots,or any thing that could hurt someone, like a rock. This whole gun control shit is getting out of hand, people are always to blame for this crap. A good comparison would be if you see a really good guitar player you know he's the one making the sound, without him the guitar would just be wood and string.

This is the sort of reason that I'm in favor of requiring people to have licenses to own firearms. You should not be allowed to have such a dangerous weapon unless you've had safety training for it.

i thought u do need a gun license to own a gun in america?

You can have a pistol as long as you don't caryy it in public, otherwise you need a license.

And just where were the parents?

Off getting high or drunk is my guess. And I have come to expect this sort of stupid shit from modern scociety.

I think you do?

How unbelievably dense to the parents have to be to leave a loaded gun around the house?

 

[vento 231]

Is there ANY reason to be keeping a loaded gun around the house?
I so fail to see the reasoning for "the right to bear arms" other then decadence.
A strong nation should know when to put parts of it's history behind it, even if it would take a few generations to cleanse.

Protection, if someone breaks in, you can't say " hold on let me load up", but realistically it should have been away from the child/ he should have been educated.

It really sounds like the kind of neighbourhood that's under imminent threat from people breaking in with guns. because of course the people that break in without guns, well you don't really need a gun to combat them.

it really outlines how if you give everyone the ability to own a gun, you only cause more problems then you settle.

I'm just going to go ahead and rip of the people that love gun rights.

"If the student also had a gun he could have defended himself. Obviously we need more guns, not less"


PS: their all ways seems to be someone on Australian radio who says this when one of these incidents happens.

I'm progun. However, I would say you must pass a certain test and age to have one. I'm also willing to say that only teachers should have them in school.
Good compromise?

Edit:
read OP.
Keep that shit away from kids. And teach them not to use them. And lock them. and not have them loaded.

All in all, I would hold the parents accountable for this. Regardless of what gun laws a country has, leaving the gun in an area accessible by a 7 year old can only lead to pain a misery.

In Australia guns must be secured in an immovable safe. Until recently the ammo also had to be kept separately( A second secure cabinet). Do the gun laws in America have any regulations like this, or are people permitted to store them in whichever way they see fit? Just a bit curious.

I'm pretty sure that they vary from state to state, but I know in Illinois that you have to be 21 to get a handgun. Also, I'm pretty sure they have to be stored in a locked container without ammo. Though I'm not certain because I haven't looked into getting one.
