4 yr old shoots 3 yr old

wtf.....

You do realize that there's a safe way to own a gun and it's not leaving it loaded with the safety off on the kitchen table, right?

fucking sad =/

I really hate any kind of weapon around the home for "protection"

doesnt sound like these kids had much of a chance anyway with or without a home arsenal, its just a shame they never got help before an inevitable tragedy.

People like these parents deserve to be in prison.

Owning a Gun... Yes..... but come-on fucking loaded on the counter

because the issue is perfectly reasonable adults owning guns and not completely fucking retarded parents leaving lethal weapons within the reach of little children?

this fucked up situation is why gun control people have a legit reason. Sure, a lot of people are responsible and would keep ammo/guns in separate places and keep them locked with kids in the house. but there's also way too many idiots who shouldn't ever be allowed to touch something as lethal as a gun.

This is very sad.
Those faint of heart, do not click spoiler--this is your warning. Those who can make light of super shitty situations, you too be warned.

I apologize for the delay in replying.

You are correct. A rifle cannot be concierged."
Sad day. Really wanted to get an elk/deer rifle with FPPs

wow that is sad

The reason why everyone is so horrified when something like this happens is because it gets a lot more news coverage than other accidents that result in death. In addition, the coverage is usually spun to be a lot more dramatic than it actually is. About 70 children under five are killed each year in the U.S. in firearms related accidents but 250 drowning accidents occur in swimming pools (even more if you include beaches and boating accidents). Yet we would much rather have our kids play in our neighbors house if we knew they owned a pool instead of a gun. Not to mention, there are a lot more parents who own guns than pools, so the percentage of pool related deaths to pool owners is much higher than gun related deaths to gun owners.

I'm not trying to say what happened isn't tragic, but it's not a good idea to jump on the bandwagon and start blaming guns for the deaths. If the little boy stabbed the little girl to death, you wouldn't hear anyone blaming the knife. But because a gun is involved, and because we have been so conditioned by horrific news stories to think that guns = bad, we instinctively think it's not a good idea to own a gun. When was the last time the media blamed a pool for a drowning? I personally am neutral in the whole political debate over firearms and would probably never own a gun myself (just airsoft guns =D), I'm just saying it's probably not a good idea to eat up whatever the media portrays as good and bad.

Stabbing is lot more personal and also it takes intention while shooting with a gun almost feels like playing with a toy gun. Of course it's the fault of parents to be this negligent but if every negligent parents out there started owning gun, we are going to end up with lot of dead kids or the parents themselves.

And if "we instinctively think it's not a good idea to own a gun", maybe it is a smart idea to listen to your instinct and not own one. Maybe you will end up dead with the gun you owned. When you own firearms, you just raise your chance of being harmed by it too.
