5 year old, alone in truck, accidentally shoots himself in the head

[Conager]

You and Rob wesr steel penii?

That has to be the funniest pile-on ever. Phrodeau sees himself as a lothario.

 

[BotanyBoy]

. . .not to mention the truthfulness problem and the difficulty with slang from big words they don't understand.

As I understand it you have expressed a lack of interest. That may or may not involve celibacy, but if so, that would be voluntary, wouldn't it?

I have never been involuntarily celibate, and after a couple of years off for self-reflection which was fairly easy given the dearth of interesting possibilities, I haven't been any kind of celibate.

Interesting that Rob, who plans several thousand dollar second dates is concerned about who does and doesn't get laid. Seems to me that this is yet another case of him projecting his own insecurities.

Oh look...Conager is more knowledgable about what an asexual is than most "progressives" on the GB.

Yea it's just a lack of interest, I don't dislike it nor am I celibate.

It's always projection with Rob.

This child would not have been able to fire that gun if more citizens in the immediate vicinity had been armed.

Let this be a lesson to the intersectional socialist progressives.

No the lesson to the intersectional socialist is coming in November

They love their guns more than they love their kids.

How do you figure Rob???

You say this all the time but never explain......we know why.

So some fantasy based meme that has nothing to do with the topic is all you've got?

Can't use your own words to directly address or explain your absurd statement???

Not even a "Because guns are a risk to children." ???

LOL....I knew you could not explain your truly insane comments.

 

[BotanyBoy]

Why do you hate freedom so much? If a parent let's his kid play with a loaded gun, he should be allowed to shoot himself. It's called freedom, you commie.

Damn straight!

One less turd my kids have to compete with.

You put "your" child at statistically greater risk of an early death due to your insistence on having firearms in your household.

Putting other peoples' lives at risk is a risk you're willing to take, in order to feel "secure".

My way or no way mentality.

No different then strapping them into a car and taking them out onto the most dangerous place in the USA, the public roads.

That's why for the same reason I use(d) appropriate car seats, restraining harnesses and driving defensively I keep positive control over my weapons and secure them in a safe when I'm not in control of them.

Guns are a reality of currently existing on Earth. Which is why despite the risk of exposure, along with all the other dangerous shit that comes with life I would rather my kids have knowledge and understanding than ignorance and fear.

And as much as I love my car and guns I love my kids more, that's why I want them to be safe and competent when dealing with/operating both.

Putting other peoples' lives at risk is a risk you're willing to take, in order to feel "secure".

That is a reality of existence that EVERYONE shares, including you.

You just pay a cop to do it for you so you can feel better about looking down at anyone else who does it for themselves.

 

[Pookie]

Crying shame.

No....I don't care if you do or not. You do you.

 

[Dribble]

If this was a one time thing...that would different. Simple Google searches show that this happens on average every 3 days in America. A child...accidentally shoots and kills either himself of another child once every 3 days? Yes....that is what the numbers say.

 

[Conager]

No it doesn't.

 

[Dribble]

No it doesn't.

Prove me wrong. I just looked at the Federal Website that tracks these things que.

 

[Dribble]

Oh que....you were right....the answer is once every 4.1 days...not 3. I was wrong.

it's the kind of statistic that needs reading aloud, every day, on national news. instead, it tends to get buried in small, local items, which means it gets lost as far as the mass-number impact on viewers.

as a nation, americans must see it as an acceptable risk; i'm damned sure the majority of individuals wouldn't. but when you've people threatening to take the law into their own hands (as well as their guns) over background checks and guns being taken from people believed a temporary risk to themselves or others, i can't see it getting passed into law (or enforced) that if people leave children alone with loaded guns in a vehicle that it's a crime.

 

[butters]

Oh que....you were right....the answer is once every 4.1 days...not 3. I was wrong.

so in 8.2 days, 2 children. how is that an acceptable risk by anyone's standards? it's 89.02 children a year. almost 90 children A YEAR

 

[Biggs_Darklighter]

90 people a year in a nation of over 300 million is statistically insignificant. Nobody is gonna get up in arms over .0000003% of the population no matter how old they are or what happens to them.

90 children=acceptable loss. got it.

america, the greatest country in the world.

 

[Rightguide]

So, let's see the link to the alleged statistic.

 

[Fuzzy1975]

90 children=acceptable loss. got it.

america, the most fearful country in the world.

Fixed your quote, if you all in the US were not so scared of everything you wouldn't feel the need to have all those guns. After all the King/Queen of England is not about to invade your home.... chuckles

Good thing the country isn't run by nor are civil rights decided on by a simple majority of individuals.

i can't see it getting passed into law (or enforced) that if people leave children alone with loaded guns in a vehicle that it's a crime.

Unnecessary laws for fee fees of the anti-gun virtue signal brigade? Not a snowballs chance in most states.

Because we aren't a unified monolith of humanity.

It's an acceptable risk because it's an INDIVIDUAL responsibility not to let your child play with a loaded gun. It's not a collective or national problem.

That kids death is on his parents hands, not Americas, not gun owners, not pro-civil rights supporters....just the moron who left him with a loaded gun.

90 children=acceptable loss. got it.

I wouldn't say acceptable, just not a national/societal issue.

It's not my problem some redneck 1,000 miles away was dumb and didn't secure their weapons in a responsible manner. That is THEIR problem...bigly.

It is my problem to make sure kids don't play with MY guns and that MY kids know what to do and what NOT to do should they ever come across a gun.

america, the greatest country in the world.
