Gun rights activists accidentally shot by her 4 year old son

 
 
 
Yeah, I saw it yesterday. Wanted to make a thread then thought, why bother, it's not the first time this happened.
 
The story reminded me of the video where the chimpanzee is given an AK-47.
 
Naw, the gun instructor who's last words were "put it on auto" to a seven year old.

The 4 yr old could have as easily killed himself. There will be charges. Anything, anything I put in the back seat, I ask myself, will my daughter be able to reach it and mess it up. ANYTHING! I can't imagine just tossing a gun in the back with a 4 year old.
 
I don't know what's worse - that I'm laughing at someone getting shot or that I don't feel even slightly bad about laughing at someone getting shot.

I am just glad that the bullet went into her instead of into the kid. This is a stupid bitch who deserved to get herself shot.

[h=1]People are getting shot by toddlers on a weekly basis this year[/h]




By Christopher Ingraham October 14, 2015
This week a 2-year-old in South Carolina found a gun in the back seat of the car he was riding in and accidentally shot his grandmother, who was sitting in the passenger seat. This type of thing happens from time to time: A little kid finds a gun, fires it, and hurts or kills himself or someone else. These cases rarely bubble up to the national level except when someone, like a parent, ends up dead.
But cases like this happen a lot more frequently than you might think. After spending a few hours sifting through news reports, I've found at least 43 instances this year of somebody being shot by a toddler 3 or younger. In 31 of those 43 cases, a toddler found a gun and shot himself or herself.
 
I think the only real is to give more guns to eight year olds so that they can protect their family against their younger brother.
 
The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun. Too bad she didn't have another gun so that she could stop her kid from shooting her.

Maybe the NRA needs to create a poster to enstill gun safety that says, "Treat your gun like porn". You wouldn't leave porn in the back seat of your car. Or laying out on a table top in the living room, would you? You wouldn't give your porn to your 6 year old child to use, right?

It probably would help a little bit, but the odds of the NRA actually doing something helpful is about as likely as Nugent apologizing to Pres. Obama...
 
Both my grandparents came at me with Glocks when I was ten. The issue seems silly now but it was over would I or would I not help the neighbor lady (whose husband was in the hospital) rake her lawn. I said no, because it wasn't my idea and they were pushing me into an inauthentic bit of philanthropy. Words were exhanged -- not so heated, or so I thought. Luckily they both came at me from the dining room -- narrow hallway, they got in each other's way and held fire for a second. I managed to get behind the sofa, which I knew my grandmother would not want damaged, and got off a couple of shots with a .38. (Fired blindly and hit his set of Time-Life WWII books.) At this point they split up and came at me from two different angles -- he from the hallway and she from the other side of the room (the hallway leading to the bedroom, which gave her an angle behind the sofa.) I tried to get around to the side so I could fire over the sofa's armrest but I realized I was right in the line of his gun. I ducked down and heard both of them step into the room and realized that at best I could only bring one of them down. Suddenly there was a big BOOM and a shirt button plunked down on the floor a few inches from my hand. I will never forget that button. My aunt (she was one of those cool aunts who smoked weed with me and let me drive her convertible) had gotten him from behind with a 12 gauge. She told my grandma to back off and that's what happened. I never did rake that lady's lawn. She was a bitch, too.

If you try to tell kids today this kind of thing, they don't believe you.
 
Florida law makes it a misdemeanor for a person to store or leave a loaded firearm in such a way that a child could gain access to it.

Authorities said they won't make a decision on charges until they can speak with the woman.

Gee, a misdemeanor. That'll sure deter such reckless behavior. And what could this woman say that would make her not in violation of the law? Someone is guilty of leaving the gun so a child could and did gain access to it. The only other possibility is that some other adult gained access to her gun and left it in the back seat.

“There was a booster seat in the back of the vehicle, but however the boy was not strapped in when the deputy got to them,” Wells said.
He said investigators are trying to determine whether the child was fastened to the booster seat at the time of the shooting.

The answer is not to get rid of guns, nor is it to keep guns out of the hands of children. Kids need more guns. Just think of how Sandy Hook would have turned out if just one courageous kindergartner with a .38 had been there. Here's the answer: bullet proof vests not just for mom and dad, but for the kids too! If you're wearing body armor during all your waking hours, but your child is not, you're only doing half the job.
