It's a tough week for 4 year-old kids.
It appears that one of them accidentally shot a 6 year-old boy in the head.

If only the 6 year-old was armed, this tragedy may have been prevented.

I think in all of those cases the adult owner of the gun should be charged with manslaughter and have a mandatory jail sentence.
Maybe that would wake some people up before they have to bury a child or someone the child shot.

Maybe there should be a "being irresponsible with a gun" law that, even if it didn't carry any jail time, would give the person a felony conviction if found guilty so at least they couldn't own any more guns.

I agree, but too many think it is that hating freedom thing.
Yeah - that sounds like discrimination against lawful gun owners!

How did the pooches beat you to your "another 4 year old with a gun, tragedy" celebration?....

Thank God the USA is inundated with guns. The libs will never be able to take my gun rights away no matter how many hysterical people come up with sorry stories like these.
The right to keep and bear arms SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED!
