Quote:Two-year-old boy dies after accidentally shooting himself
Gee whiz. I wonder how the fuck this happened?
Access to a firearm. Kid should have had his own firearm so he could defend himself against himself.
Bu bu bu, that was an irresponsible parent.
Then you bring up the video of the girl at a GUN RANGE accidentally shooting the instructor in the head with the uzi, I am sure all his good intent as an instructor helped him. Naw, and I am also sure that girl wont have a lifetime of mental issues knowing she accidentally killed someone with it. Who cares, because "Bullets and Burgers" sounds serious, not like an amusement park where you walk up to a vendor to buy some cotton candy.
Kinda like when theists argue, "a tornado knocked down my church" or "I cant believe Roof went into a church and killed people, churches are sacred". "Bad things never happen to or in churches"
Same selection bias and sample rate error as "I don't have any bad intent" when nobody is arguing about intent. Math, probability. Repeat a behavior enough your odds increase. Even in California just on earthquakes. 200 years ago not many people died from earthquakes, because not many people lived in California. Today, most earthquakes are small and building codes have improved. If we had the same building codes as 150 years ago in California with today's population, the death rate from 7 or 8 would be far higher.
Same with Tornados in Oklahoma. There are not that many deaths from Tornados because it is not a very populated state and the building codes are a minimum so that most can survive a 1 or 2 or 3. F5s are very rare. But in the future as that population grows, those current laws will have to be updated.
Same with guns, we don't still have muskets alone and our population is far bigger and the gun technology has changed drastically since 1781.
I simply don't think it is enough to simply blame the parent because these "accidents" happen all the time and far too much.
