What's a 2 year old doing alone in a car? If the kid had died of heat stroke, the parents would be charged with negligence. Use a gun and oh, this is just a "tragic accident".
Well, the story as written up in the linked article contains an untruth. It says the child's father had left the gun "secured" in the car. Obviously, the gun was not "secured". "Securing" a gun isn't rocket science. The glove compartment has a lock, but the father chose not to use it. That' is not "securing" the gun. He made a deliberate decision to not secure the gun in the vicinity of a toddling child who was big enough to open the car door. And why wasn't someone watching the child as he approached the car? Why were the car doors not locked, at the very least? All it takes, usually, is a touch of the key remote to lock the doors.
And the investigating officer concluded, "Sometimes bad things happen". A kid is dead, and aww, sometimes bad things just up and happen, all of their own accord. Shucks.
Reading more into the stories. It appears that the grandfather had been part of the police department.
Wow they made you a moderator? What a Liberal moron. Guns are for safety because people out there are insane. As for keeping a gun in the car, it is to protect against some of these road rage lunatics that want to kill you, and for carjackings and many other things. Do you think the Palestinian guy who went on a stabbing rampage in Israel would have been able to stab so many people if someone on the bus had a concealed carry gun to put him down?
And you make utterly nonsensical statement and then try to back them up with even bigger BS examples?
It's the parents' own fault for having a gun, for leaving it in the glove compartment of a car and for leaving a two year old with reach of the gun.
You place your gun in an under-seat safe? I can understand guns for hunting but if you can fit it under the seat, I don't think it's a hunting gun. Sounds more like a killing people gun.
What is a "killing people" gun? I don't think guns are created with the intent to kill people unless they're designed by the military. Most guns are designed for hunting, although pistols in particular are used for personal protection, like for cops/security.
Insane like the delusional people who think they need a gun to protect themselves from road rage lunatics and car jackers?
I don't object in principle to people owning guns or carrying them around wherever. It's just that in practice, the only people who seem to feel the need to do that have a tenuous grip on reality and live their lives in a state of wholly irrational, fear-based delusion. I don't really want guns in the hands of people who are clearly not rational human beings.
You mean like the ~800,000-2,500,000 (depending on study) or so people that use a firearm for self protection every year to prevent little things like assault, rape, and murder? Are they delusional too?
If guns are for killing people then why aren't millions of people being shot to death in the USA? Aren't there a few hundred million guns owned in the US?
if nuclear bombs are for blowing up cities, why isn't every city on earth blown up? what kind of question is that? just because the purpose of something is killing people doesn't mean that its automatically going to be used for killing everyone. millions of people aren't shot to death because most gun owners are only looking to kill people when necessary and fortunately it isn't necessary so often.

Again, how many parents who backed over their kids were charged with negligence?

People are looking for people to kill only when necessary? Can you prove that or is that just more dramatics? I know a lot of people who own guns, none if them are looking for someone to kill, fir any reason. My comment was designed to draw out the concern for children that hides an anti-gun agenda. Success.
