Toddler shoots 2 other children at Michigan day care

<----- frugal shooter
I prefer to use a bullet on a deer to one on a target
however
Investing a bullet on a target assures that the weapon is still capable of putting the bullet where I want it.
The weapon is zeroed to the kz which is 40 to 60 yards out.
I do not like wounding the prey. I do like it when the deer falls where he/she was standing when I shot.

If you do not know the difference between a rifle and a gun, perhaps it is better if you do not shoot/fire either.

In 2015, Christopher Ingraham of the Washington Post brought us the headline that, "American toddlers are still shooting people on a weekly basis this year"↱, and ... oh, shit, sorry; that's the 2017 headline, from yesterday. The 2015 headline reads, "People are getting shot by toddlers on a weekly basis this year"↱.

How many people do you think would disagree about idiots and incompetency?

That doesn't answer the question of what to do about it any more than the rise in mass killings over the years has also seen a lot more people willing to acknowledge that one has to be sick to do that in the first place. For some reason, the sickness got close enough to people who had previously refused its existence as some manner of liberal excuse for criminals to have more rights than victims, and all that political bullshit. Great. So, now we recognize that homicide is kind of grotesque in this way, but what are we going to do about it?

Meanwhile—

—just what liberties do you so fear for that you would engage in such self-denigrating fallacy?

Really, you're not helping. Then again, that seems to be the thing about firearm safety: It's a nice thought and all, but no, not even the so-called "responsible gun owners" are actually willing to be helpful. These people want the problem of firearm violence in society. The whole point isn't about the right to bear arms, it's about the right to kill people. And if this is the price everyone else must pay so that some people can feel their right to arbitrarily kill other human beings isn't somehow abrogated, well, it's not surprising.

I mean, really, we might all hope for appropriate resolutions, but—

IMHO Using examples of the actions of the mentally challenged or mentally ill as a means of abrogating other's rights is disingenuous on a good day. And simply dishonest on any other day.​

—priorities sometimes have a way of making even simple statements about licenses and criminal charges disingenuous on a good day and simply dishonest any other. It shouldn't be a matter of hoping, but settling that question might abrogate someone else's right to arbitrarily kill, so we don't.

And it's why blustery sarcasm is pretty much all such bloodlusting self-interest has left. Because we do need to figure something out. And we do need to charge more of these incidents as crimes. But the big obstacle there are people like you rushing to raise straw men in order to remind us who the real victims are.

From what I can tell, the number of guns and cars in the USA is similar.

 

^^^
The numbers of people being hurt & killed. And the property damage.

It's called "false equivalence". Look it up.

 

Nobody got the rifle out of Heston's hands yet? Surely he's been dead long enough for them to be cold?

So cars, which have a thousand uses, kill more people than guns, which are only useful for killing.

 

I looked it up. It doesn't seem to be relevant. Please explain.

 

Go back and read it now that you've looked it up. Sorry I wasn't more explicit earlier.

 

That's completely insane that a company like that is allowed to exist.

 

Seems grandmother lacks sanity with such a mindset

I'm thinking would I be surprised if she told the child's mother to have another child as a replacement as you know god loves children

Nope. I'm still not seeing any connection. Why not just try to explain yourself?

 

A contrary argument could be made hinging on the prefatory clause.
