New Gun Regulations In The US Would Be Really, Really Stupid

Six Year Old Girl Dies After Being Shot By Her Four Year Old Brother
Quote:Their mother was preparing to set off but had got out of the vehicle when it failed to start. She then heard a shot from inside the car...“Detectives determined that the four-year-old male sibling retrieved a handgun from the console of the vehicle and accidently discharged it, striking his six-year-old sister in the head,” the Paulding County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement.
But no new regulations are needed, because the mother is going to be charged with leaving a loaded firearm within reach of a child. Oh, wait...
Quote:Detectives have decided not to file any charges in the case.
How in the name of all that is sensible is this possible? A child is dead. The mother bears responsibility. But I suppose that grand old Second Amendment makes everything okey dokey.
Anyone who doesn't see the problems with US guns laws is an idiot. An idiot.

The gun culture considers such events as unfortunate, but they'll never happen again, so no action is needed.

Nothing like turning a tragedy with no good solution into a political agenda...
What you want to do? Put mom in prison and the kids in an orphanage? That' ll teach the little monster...
Criminalize stupid? That' s gonna fill a few prisons.....
Exactly what kind of legislation do you think you can dream up that prevents this sort of thing?

It says a lot that you think there's 'no good solution'.
Yes, I would like the mum to go to prison for facilitating the death of her six year old daughter. And why do you jump right to 'orphanage'?
How about criminalizing leaving a loaded firearm within reach of a four year old child? I agree that doing so is stupid, but it's also extremely dangerous. Drunk driving is stupid and dangerous - most places don't have a problem with criminalizing that behaviour.

He doesn't think there is no good solution, he's just afraid of losing his guns if the solutions are enacted.

Proposed new law: Keep your guns and at the same time, keep them away from toddlers.
