I don't think so, Chas. The Prosecution presents Exhibit #2468....

Quote:A Sacramento, CA man is in jail after firing a celebratory New Year's gunshot that killed his girlfriend.
Stephen Lucas, 24 was arrested after they say he fired a gun during a midnight New Year's celebration that somehow hit his girlfriend. She died 20 hours into the new year.
He now faces a charge of involuntary manslaughter, among other felony charges…
As noted above "You Can't Fix Stupid" but you should damn well make sure it isn't running around with a fucking gun.

He said it was important who owned guns; you ignore that and then go on with your diatribe against morons with guns - which was exactly his fucking point.

Errs on the side of caution, at least in one regard (if ignoring others) so I'll give it that. You know me though, not enough of a nut for the nuts.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Yet you have no solution to the problem of morons with guns. Virtually every day I can find a story about one of them. Meanwhile your NRA heroes support the right of the batshit crazy to have guns.

Quote:Gun-rights groups opposed Colorado mental health bill
Quote:But the National Rifle Association and Rocky Mountain Gun Owners said the initial bill on civil commitment diminished due process and would deprive more Americans of their firearms. One activist called it the liberals' attempt to "play the mental health card" in attacking gun rights.
"We would do anything possible if we knew it would stop mass murder," said Joe Neville, a spokesman for RMGO. "But this was a backdoor attempt at gun control."
Yeah..they'd do anything except cut into the profit margin of their death merchant leash holders.

All of your stories add up to about 600 accidental deaths per year - so few that it is overwhelmed by things like accidental poisoning, accidental falls, accidental asphyxiation, and drowning.
I have presented several reasoned suggestions for solving the morons with guns problem - you just don't seem to be willing to listen.

I'M NOT THE ONE BLOCKING GUN CONTROL, MAN.
Tell it to your nutty pals in the NRA.

Now you're just foaming at the mouth.
You said that I had no answer - I responded to that.

I don't know. You have to be pretty fucking stupid to give a dog a gun.
Here's another great example for you. Bitch was crazy, taking meds...but still armed. Result = 3 dead.

And again.

Quote:An off-duty northern Kentucky police officer accidentally shot himself in the stomach while out on a dinner date with his wife.
Quote:“It’s very unusual — obviously you have somebody that’s used to handling firearms,” said Capt. Mike John, of Cincinnati police. “It’s very unusual to see somebody discharge a firearm, accidentally, in a confined space like that. It’s very unusual.”
Erlanger police said Sunday that Jouett, a 25-year veteran, was adjusting his belt when his department-issued .40-caliber semiautomatic handgun fired in its holster.
Shit happens.

Special thanks to Napoleon for posting this in another thread. It should be the OP in this one.
