That wasn't a joke any more than the rest of the firearm accidents here are jokes.

Some come along with the face palm of stupidity, others with the angst of gross malfeasance.

What is the plan there for restitution, and compensation?

That is not uppermost in mind right now.

Always protect your children by always having your killing machine strapped to your body. No matter what!

So, a search of the world news brought you two incidents one over a year old and one over a month old. And that's fine, but I do want you to note that I never post one that is more than a week old and usually only a couple days. America provides me with a very generous supply of this stuff.

I have no doubt - but I haven't once seen you stray from only the US.  The rest of the world never has any incidents, if you judge by your posting.

I'm just bringing awareness to the reality that there are still places out there that are worse.

I have a US based source for these things. I don't search for them, they are collected for me. Shhhh, don't tell anyone.

A lot of them are, yes.

Its unfortunate that a few have the ability to try to ruin things for the rest of the population.

Damn right. And all because a few serial killers are, well never mind. Back to Turtle News where we ask hard questions about our own hard questions about why you ask hard questions.

6 YO misses, no one hurt. Praise the lord!

But this 2 YO was not as lucky.

It would just get ridiculed - 

It would be along the lines of a "Trump Cured Cancer" thread - No matter how good it is . . . it would never be admitted to be good.

Be careful when you are bringing your killing machine to church to be a "good guy with a gun".

Absolutely great advice.

In fact everyone should be much more careful, like you say, when they are driving.

No much detail here. Just 'Bama, dead child under 12 yo, and firearm accident. Whatever....

4 yo, fatal, self inflicted.         I'm going to call this one a probable accident. No real details, could be a suicide I suppose.

Some details now. An unsecured firearm at the home of a Navy Petty Officer. Apparently training isn't always good enough.
