5-year-old shoots, kills self after mother locks her in home | theGrio


I'm sure that this 5-year old is the normal and expected target for weapons being stored in the home for self-defense. For every 1 you find a story about a random burglary turned back, we have 5 children who's home has been successfully defended against their presence.

You are just spewing BS. The total number of children under 14 is less than 100 a year while self-defense is in the hundreds of thousands to millions. In fact, swimming pools murder far more children than firearms.

This is same as that careless parents left their children in locked cars and they died due to exposure to high heat.

I am of the opinion that the parents of the death children should be charged with manslaughter due to negligence at least regardless it's firearm related or not.

Say, did any of you happen to see one of your brethren concede last night on this very forum that the Constitution does not guarantee you the right to use a firearm to defend yourself?

No, but so what? He would be wrong, just like liberals are every time they open their mouths.

Remember, you cannot enforce a totalitarian police state when people are armed. It is imperative for the collectivist predators to disarm their prey before moving forward.

Do not shy away from using any argument, motherhood, "it's for the children!" or pity to trick the people into surrendering their firearms.

Armed people can not be compelled to comply with collectivism "for their own good." Only a disarmed people will be compliant.

Demand disarmament NOW !

If gun owners ever do lose their right to bear arms, it will be due to their own stupidity, not any efforts by us "libruls".

At least an arrest was made in this incident. That doesn't always seem to be the case. I get the feeling the prevailing sentiment in Gun Country is that the occasional loss of a child by firearms negligence is just part of the price of freedom

If only we could clone people like you with no agendas. People with no agendas make the world go round. I love people with no agendas. I once tried to marry a woman with no agenda, but she didn't like my agenda. Or maybe it was my gender, I'm not entirely sure.

Sad the child died, what is more sad is that, just as the OP, they (the left) are using this to push an agenda.

First, this was not a responsible gun owner, do not lump all gun owners in this catagory, she was not responsible and she is getting everything she deserves.

Second, what kind of mother leaves her 5 year old alone anywhere. Are you going to lump all mothers into this catagory, because she left her child, so all mothers are going to do this?

And some think the right to bear arms, just means a gun.
