Andaman Al Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 (edited) Karma! I am waiting for the normal gun lobby to come on with "well if the Mother would have had a Gun as well she would not have been shot, she could have got the four year old first. More Guns is safer" Edited March 10, 2016 by Andaman Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgrassboy Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Can't believe I'm going to say this but, som nam na! Really it's a shame she was hurt, and I am saddened that this is such a polarizing problem in the states. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True. It's just that reducing idiots is less feasible than reducing guns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIJoe Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 How do they know it was an accident? She said the kid loved to go to the range and shoot a .22. Maybe too long between visits for him? (No need to respond. Tongue firmly in cheek.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both the OP and the CNN report say that the person who was shot was the child's mother. Try reading the CNN report in full as it gets interesting towards the end.

WinnieTheKhwai Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Guns are not to blame only the idiots with them. If you read the article then you'd know she wasn't an idiot: Authorities said the firearm was legally owned by Gilt, who maintained a Facebook page entitled "Jamie Gilt for Gun Sense," where she regularly posted pro-gun positions. On her personal Facebook page, Gilt once bragged about her son: "Even my 4 year old gets jacked up to target shoot with the .22." She advocated gun sense, so was clearly a sensible person. So now sensible people are included in the group who is to blame. Anyone left? Maybe just the 'slighly loopy' should have guns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In her car her 4 year old son fired off a round and shot her. What part of "Jamie Gilt For Gun Sense" has she failed on there? If that is the standard of gun sense then is it any wonder such a crazy situation exists? So according to the evidence she IS an idiot unless you are holding the 4 year old as the responsible adult here. Well are you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grouse Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 "4 year old son gets jacked up to fire a .22" (I hope I understand that correctly) What kind of nutcases are you people? I wouldn't give the average American (Presumably a blue collar, rust belt Trump voter) a water pistol. It was a .45 for god's sake! The woman was obviously retarded. Is that a requirement to own a gun legally? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, all sensible people are known to allow their 4 year olds to use handguns. I mean, what could go wrong? I am by no means anti-gun, I owned handguns when I was in the USA. However, I will simply never understand the obsession that these nuts have with allowing their young children to use these deadly weapons as well.

Apparently the fact she had the word "sense" in her Facebook title is enough for him. For me however, whenever a 4 year old get a hold of a loaded gun and shoots someone, well......the evidence kinda speaks for itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for your last sentence.......and this is coming from a pro gun American, I can confidently say that while being retarded is not a requirement for gun ownership, it is by no means a barrier either....

MrTee Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 I hope she gets put in gaol too. She has clearly put the child's life in danger - if not the general public . Hopefully while some gaoled Mafia boss' wife is playing her like a drum she'll reconsider her stupid Pro-Gun stance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dunroaming Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 This old chestnut again "The guys a prize idiot for leaving a loaded gun where a 4 year old could access it, Guns are not to blame only the idiots with them." Idiots indeed so why would you give them access to guns in the first place? Those who are pro guns will always make excuses for the overwhelming amount of gun violence in the US. We can all come up with examples for whatever argument we are trying to promote. The reality is the USA will continue it's gun obsession no matter how many young and innocent people are killed.

thaibeachlovers Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 The guys a prize idiot for leaving a loaded gun where a 4 year old could access it, Guns are not to blame only the idiots with them. Exactly. That's why access to them have to be strictly controlled. Cars kill far more people than guns, and NO ONE ( that I've heard of ) is advocating that access to cars be strictly controlled. Alcohol causes far more deaths than guns, but it's not strictly controlled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What they are supporting is the right to have the means to protect themselves against the very bad people that want to hurt them. No amount of gun laws will stop the bad people obtaining guns.
