Stupid firearm accident thread

[gowlerk 2,249]

There are so many. I'm starting a place to put them. No need to pin it because it will probably always be near the top.

Three days ago. 6 year old girl killed by 4 year old brother. And in GA, not FL.

Why is the fact that its GA a surprise?

[obelixtim 150]

Nothing accidental in either case. Sheer carelessness. Stupid adults leaving loaded guns with a bullet in the chamber in places where they can be fired, or where kids can access them. Tragic, but unnecessary deaths in both cases.

A fresh one for today.

I looked at my state, South Dakota, pretty sure out number is inflated because of the Indian Reservations. They are literally like 3rd world countries and the crime rate is worse on Pine Ridge Indian Reservation than Compton, CA. In fact just from the 9 reservations alone it actually doubles our crime rate stats.

That's not really helpful tho in a practical sense, because while some states might appear lower on the list, they are home to some of the most dangerous areas in the country.

If you are moving or traveling, you might want to look at crime within a specific county, zip code or neighborhood to more accurately gauge your level of risk.

They arrested the guy.

Just like they would arrest a drunk driver.

Just like they would arrest someone that was stoned and driving.

Just like they would arrest a criminal for stabbing his wife.

Completely missed the point. If you did not have so many killing machines in so many hands you would not need weapons for protection .

Have you ever seen a government overreach and abuse its citizens after they have been disarmed?

Looks kinda like this:

Lol, that's great. You post a video about how society is so violent you need to be armed to make it through, as a reason firearms are so great.

In all fairness, it isn't the tools, Americans have clearly shown they are unable to deal with the responsibility. It would appear that Americans are pre-disposed to be murderous criminals. That is the only other option considering the firearms have nothing to do with it.

Or vastly increase the number of immigrants we let in; they are less disposed to be murderous criminals.  A win-win!

You put a LOT of faith in our justice system! You do understand the corruption with politicians and them funding the jail systems, right??? Tip of the iceberg as far as corruption go's, but you get the gist...
