It was certainly a tragic accident and he was a fool to
shoot when he didn't know what he was shooting at.
He happened to have a handgun, but he would most
likely have done the same if he had a shotgun.
So are you gun grabbers going after all guns,
just handguns, or what. Mebbie crossbows, too?

I was about to suggest that we ban grandchildren, but then I remembered that if did that, only criminals would have grandchildren.

Owning a gun means that much to you? What is it about guns that are so awesome?

All I see them cause is misery.

Have them fill out a government form that gets mailed into a government bureaucrat to be verified. You know, the type of screening that right-wingers usually approve of and find to be effective.

He isn't concerned with "freedoms," he's concerned with guns. If he and the others were truly concerned about "freedoms," they'd support drug decriminalization and same-sex marriage and the privacy rights of women and euthanasia. They usually don't.

Is that why there are cases of children unintentionally killing each other with a gun???

Get real.

I've heard many adults ask "Why didn't they just shoot the guy in the leg instead of killing him" Obviously these people don't understand the purpose of shooting someone.

Again, leave the handguns to the guys with badges.

Right, because utensils make people fat...and...pencils mis-spell words. So leave the guns to the sycophants who kill innocent people everyday and get away with it, all under the guise of law ! To just disregard your inalienable right because of some old motards inadvertent blunder. That's just insane !
