That would have been tragic.

So you take the young now, who have obviously been born-

They are smart enough to say- Okay, no more reproduction for YOU!

makes Gaza seem like heaven. This is a dark ignorant place.

Pfc Jessica Lynch was from Palestine WV. None of my family IN West Virginia had ever heard of it or had any idea where it was.

I say it every time. People who let little kids get their hands on guns need to lose their kids, and their guns, and go to jail.

Just more freedumb. Gun nutters have some excuse.

Where was the good 8 year old with a gun in this case?

and the places where they congregate! C'mon, Cruz, this is your state! We need to wall off those day care centers,nurseries and elementary schools, and listen in to baby monitors. Let's get to it - if you can persuade Trump to support you in this important effort we might even get Mexico to pay!

Think about the odds that an accidental discharge like this would hit another person, much less hit them in the head. Maybe 1 in 10? 1 in 50? Makes you wonder how many accidental discharges occur every day that are never reported because nobody is injured or injuries are minor.

How many times does this happen where we DON'T hear about it because the victim survives? We desperately need an "Australian solution" to our gun violence/gun accident plague in the USA.

1 dead, 1 scarred for life. And this applies only to Palestine, Texas. How many others died needlessly on Sunday because of guns?

"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State..." is keeping us secure.

Otherwise you might miss a golden opportunity to "accidentally" shoot someone.

I'm not any gun expert, but one cleans a rifle with live rounds in the chamber?

four Yeager's in the bag.......

Cleaning guns while intoxicated should be a felony.

That is certainly a probable cause.

Darwin wins again!

There are no accidents with firearms. Only stupidity on someones part.

Yes. There are fire-arm related accidents-- unless the NRA is attempting to rewrite language.

Accident: an undesirable or unfortunate happening that occurs unintentionally and usually results in harm, injury, damage, or loss;

which is criminal. I'd charge the gun owner with Man 2, but I'm obviously not a prosecuting attorney.

sad to hear

Otherwise, how else will this cycle of violece last?

Ever notice they steer completely clear of stupid people using guns stupidly posts? And pretty much any other gun post that is indefensible? That is what the NRA teaches them at "Be a Gun Humper Protection Star on the Internet" class. I think it is like.....Rule #6 - Never try to defend our stupid ass brethren who do murderous, stupid and/or reckless as fuck stupid shit, avoid dialogue at all costs.

or propose any specific policy to curb the frequency of these "accidents".

Our band of Ted DUgents need their talking points first.

Proving once again that guns do kill people!

It is a reckless act of neglect to allow a child to gain possession of a weapon.

The NRA breathes another sigh of relief.

I'm probably just being stupid, but I always get suspicious of any of these stories. Always convenient to blame the kid for an "accidental" shooting that ends up killing someone. I'm sure the police do a thorough investigation of everyone involved in these cases, right?

Oh yeah. Cops are the best. We all know that.

... but most of those don't get reported, either to the police or to the press.

or scared. or all 3.

also drunk.

It appears that God doesn't give a shit. How about getting congress off it's dead ass and making it DO something.

Fuck the dead adults. The kid has to grow up with this on his mind.

I hope the gun nut-fucks will pay for therapy for the little guy.

'fore cleanin' 'em, ya hear?

it happens so often.

While standing next to the adult. Who was cleaning his guns.

Uh huh.

though. Unless Mr. Clean just blamed the kid and wanted to get rid of Wifey.

the victim a "nitwit"?

... what the hell is it about "unloading the weapons before you clean them" that the rubes don't understand? ...
