When will these gun nuts learn? All the sadness that family must endure from this day forth...and all because they just HAD to prove a point to us "gun grabbers"


Kentucky 5-year-old gets rifle as gift and shoots 2-year-old sister dead



A 5-year-old boy in Kentucky shot and killed his 2-year-old sister on Tuesday while playing with a .22 caliber rifle that he was given as a gift, state police said in a statement.

According to the Lexington Herald-Leader, the shooting happened at the family’s home in Cumberland County around 1 p.m. The 2-year-old girl was later pronounced dead at Cumberland County Hospital.

The girl was identified as Caroline Starks by Cumberland County Coroner Gary White.

White said that the boy had been given the rifle as a gift last year and that the mother had been at home when the shooting occurred. The rifle was normally kept in a corner of the home, but family members did not realize the gun had been loaded.

“It’s a Crickett,” the coroner explained. “It’s a little rifle for a kid… The little boy’s used to shooting the little gun.”

The only one trying to prove a point is you by you giddily dancing on this girls grave in an effort to further your agenda.

Unfortunately they were not responsible gun owners if they left a loaded .22 in a corner whether there were children around or not

Lost on you is the tragedy that this is and that this poor young boy must live with this the rest of his life. You are scum worse than Al Queda.

Here is a question for you dick breath. Would Obamas background checks have prevented this?
 
What point was the family trying to prove?

(FYI, the bold link doesn't work)


Sorry, old newsman's habit...it's not a link, just the headline. The link is at the bottom.

That the "gun grabbers" don't know what they are talking about.
 
Answer you so you can call me some more names?

I don't think so.

GFY.
You are used to having people call you names Zappy, so that excuse will not work here. I am purposely getting involved in one of your posts here again, to help you get responces, like I did with your other weak post that was stalling/foundering. When I answer a post of yours, that post starts gettting action because all my Lib Stalkers will naturally read it and get their two cents in. Maybe one day, you will thank me for heping you out.

we should ban bath tubs, because we have 'responsible' parents who let their kids die...

Oh wait, no... those were IRRESPONSIBLE people... but I guess I can pretend that since they exist, we must punish all bathtub owning parents... prevent them from giving their kids a bath because of the actions of the irresponsible people.


Yep...right on cue here comes the same tired either/or argument from the Right.

Accoridng to them there's no room in the middle whatsoever, it's got to always be one way or the polar opposite.

LMAO... you are simply embarrassed for getting called out on your stupidity. Don't worry, Howey and Maineman tried to do the same stupid thing.
 
so would background checks have prevented this?

would reducing magazine capacity have prevented this?

Would anything that you yourself have advocated for prevented this at all? No, it wouldn't have. Guess you are just as responsible as the rest of us Zappas.

when you figure out a way to legislate away stupidity, come back to us. until then, this shit will happen from time to time (even with your highly trained experts known as cops) and will continue to do so.
