It should be the father who's getting charged with manslaughter, not an 11 year old. So what if the kid stole the gun and intentionally shot a toddler with it. The responsibility should fall to the parent. Shitty father for leaving a gun around a kid.
the fucks i really give...about zero.
They actually look more like this in my fantasy but I guess your image is what most of them look like in real life...
Because the gun lobby ran out money and didn't pay us.
Im not even kidding when i say every single idiot who is advocating their precious right to bear arms is at least a little bit guilty...
Three hours ago, I might have agreed with you. This is a link to the Wired article I mentioned earlier. I've held the opinion for some time now that rational gun control in this country is a lost cause, something I find both frustrating, and sad. This thread exists as a monument to the idolatry/mental illness that masquerades as "a second amendment issue" here in the US. I tend to (I think) for the most part stay fairly quiet on the subject, because quite frankly, I have no idea how one even goes about addressing it. The aforementioned article only serves to convince me further that there is nothing to be done about it. It's Pandora's box, no matter how hard you try, no matter how many kids die, you'll never be able to cram all that shit back in, and we only have ourselves to blame.
You just need to embrace the cold steely feel of freedumb. Don't you have any irrational fears or need to compensate for your insecurities?
So three people equal a "mass shooting?" You should be posting that every day for Chicago
I think it's generally 4 or more, he shot himself too - that's 4.
you had it right the first time.
There's more gun suicides than homicides. Suicide isn't a trivial problem especially with a tool designed to kill people. Infantile gun owners and their associations/clubs can't ignore the reality in America and their fallacies they tout will never change that. They're the clearly problem as the rest of the developed world has already figured out.
The US ranks 108 in murder rates. Surpassed by wonderful peaceful utopias such as India, Iran, Niger, Chile, Liberia, Bangladesh, Turkey, Lebanon, China, Algeria, Viet Nam and Slovakia. The closest long standing first world country, Norway, has a murder rate half that of the US. We are marginally better than the world average, part of American exceptional ism I guess.
oh that's precious.
