Default 3-year-old girl finds gun, shoots self in head

I am pro-guns. My grandfather owned a hunting store. Even back then, lock them up, or it's the owner's responsibility.


"One of the girl's parents apparently owned the gun, and at least one parent was home when she shot herself Sunday afternoon. Police questioned the parents and took the gun, the Detroit Free Press reported."

That is sad no more like tragic. You lock your guns up and teach them when they get old enough. In this particular case I would hold the parents on criminal neglegance in the worst way.

Honestly, do you really hear about such things often?

A parent would have to have a hair-triggered revolver cocked and ready for a three year old to shoot himself (or her)!

I actually tested the triggers of my handguns (empty) with my son, who was always pretty strong.

It's practicly impossible.

I don't hear about it all the time this kind of stuff is big news and national picks it up like hot cakes. And I don't hear about it all the time. Part of the problem is not teaching kids about guns the big anti gun crowd. So then irresoponable adults that have not been raised and taught about them and responsability about them have kids and this crap happens.

How many times have you heard about the toddler wandering behind the car when a family member is backing out of the garage, or driveway, and getting run over? Does that make you dislike cars? Or just those who should have been watching the toddler?

And what about incidences such as at Columbine when the kid raided his Grampa's gun cabinet to go on his shooting spree? Kids having access to guns is bad news...and if the parents have them in their home, there's access.

Are you against people having a swimming pool to?
More kids die from accidental drownings in personal pools than ever die from accidental gun shots of any kind.

Ya know...it's not like people have to hunt for food in this day and age. I think some folks have guns to make up for other "inadequacies"...if ya catch my drift!
