That's fine, but handguns have no place in civilised society (except on law enforcement officers and other security personnel). They certainly don't belong loaded in handbags.

The WIN/Gallup End of Year Survey 2013 found the US was perceived to be the greatest threat to world peace by a huge margin, with 24% of respondents fearful of the US followed by: 8% for Pakistan, and 6% for China. This was followed by 5% each for: Afghanistan, Iran, Israel, North Korea. -LINK

Why? I don't understand how anyone could have a gun so accessible, with no safety precautions in place. I have no words, or perhaps, too many.

Because "Merica" is based on "me me me me me" and never on thinking about "rights" having to do with thinking. In America you have the right to staple your nuts to the wall.

I guess shotgun, since it isn't long gun or handgun.
Shotguns look long to me.
Wikipedia agrees...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_gun
Quote:a long gun is designed to be fired braced against the shoulder, in contrast to a handgun, while in artillery a long gun would be contrasted with a howitzer or carronade
So shotguns qualify. Strangely, so do long barrel artillery pieces. So some of the long gun suicide crowd may actually be using cannon but the rest of the 11892 have to be offing themselves with howitzers or carronades, whatever those are..
So how, exactly, does God know that She's NOT a brain in a vat?

A 'person' can be smart, 'people' are dumb, dangerous animals. The bloody awful thing is we all know this yet we plough-on as if our delusions about ourselves actually matter. That's what's really fucked up.
This is what happens when we believe in the humanist bullshit that fell out of a misunderstood 'Enlightenment'.

"The greatest deception men suffer is from their own opinions" - Leonardo da Vinci
"I think I use the term “radical” rather loosely, just for emphasis. If you describe yourself as “atheist,” some people will say, “Don’t you mean ‘agnostic’?” I have to reply that I really do mean atheist, I really do not believe that there is a god; in fact, I am convinced that there is not a god (a subtle difference). I see not a shred of evidence to suggest that there is one ... etc., etc. It’s easier to say that I am a radical atheist, just to signal that I really mean it, have thought about it a great deal, and that it’s an opinion I hold seriously." - Douglas Adams (and I echo the sentiment)

{adopting NRA stance}
Why does everyone assume it was an accident ? The child may have rightly perceived his mother to be an imminent danger and took appropriate action.

I live out in the country, and we have coyotes and cougars locally. I haven't yet bought a shotgun, but it's on the shopping list.

People have a right to privacy and because that right exists some bad things will come of it. Some will use their privacy to conceal child molestation or the cooking of meth or some other dastardly deed. People have the right to carry weapons and because that right exists some bad things will come of it.....like this tragic accident.
