3-year-old dies from gunshot wound at Yellowstone

[Mr. Big Dog 10,747]

So the owner of the firearm that the kid offed itself with will be sent up the river, right? Oh, of course not. This was just a tragic accident.

[Harsh_77 718]

Don't forget the starving kids. I hate them too.

Who is anti-gun? I'm not. If someone responsible and legally able wants to own one, all the power to them.

Denying that they get into the hands of the irresponsible by legal or illegal means, causing far too many accidents... is doing nobody any good.

You are not anti gun but you make sure you would post the article that would have a child killed by the gun.

There are lot of other incidents happening everyday in which child is injured or killed due to negligence by parents but you do not care.

Oh please, spare me the "you don't care about other kids" garbage.

It's always tragic when someone loses their life. Especially when it's a child and ESPECIALLY when it's something completely preventable.

Gun accidents happen far too often in this country, given how easy it is to get your hands on one.

If you want to talk about other kids, you're free to post your own topics.

Try to stick to this one if you're going to respond here, though.

If my posts bother you, don't comment in them. Stick to the numerous "guns are good" threads if you don't appreciate when someone posts a story about them not always being so great.

Between May thru Sep on an average 37 children die every year.... but I guess that is not often as per you.

Is your topic about anti gun or you care about innocent children?

I would have guessed you would have cared about the innocent children does not matter how they got harmed but it seems you do not want to talk about it, all you want to talk about is anti gun.

She's really anti child. The more kids that are killed the better, as far as she's concerned.

[Harsh_77 718]

She's really anti child. The more kids that are killed the better, as far as she's concerned.

Not anti gun anymore?

[Penny Lane 8,159]

Between May thru Sep on an average 37 children die every year.... but I guess that is not often as per you.

Is your topic about anti gun or you care about innocent children?

I would have guessed you would have cared about the innocent children does not matter how they got harmed but it seems you do not want to talk about it, all you want to talk about is anti gun.

WHAT are you talking about?

Do you have any comments on the actual story or are you just going to continue to attempt to tell me I don't care about kids?

14, 15, 16, 17, 18 yr old are also in the stats.

why do you hate teenagers?

[RGinWA 816]

21 children have died in 2013 for being left in the hot car, these parents are so much smarter than a parent that leaves a child with hand gun, but anti gun nuts would not care about 21 children.

http://blog.al.com/spotnews/2013/07/toddler_who_died_in_homewood_w.html

You think that way coz media only makes that a news.

Hahaha...

When there is a firearm fatality, the lead projectile worshipers always break out the statistics on other forms of possible death.

"Oh oh...what about deaths from lightning strikes? Maybe they should outlaw that first?"

It's comical at this point.

Gunpowder is one of the worst invention we ever created.
