Give it a rest milemarker. Go watch Ellen….

The discussion is that there are too many damn guns in this country for everyone to keep track of. There should be an intelligence test before buying.

The obvious point is that a 4-year-old child shot an adult. It is my understanding that when a child is involved in a gun incident, they’re almost certainly a gun in the child’s hands. And responsible adults get curious how it is that a four year old child managed to have the gun. We must ask these difficult questions since the NRA champions a theme of guns for all. They mean ALL, and let’s consider that the genius to allowed the gun to fall into this child’s hands would probably pass a background check with flying colors. There’s plenty of information to gauge. 1) Carless gun owner meets, 2) 4-year-old child. There probably won’t be any charges filed since the child is unable to make a moral judgement.

For those that are really interested in seriously promoting gun safety with our nations children, I suggest you visit the NRA Eddie Eagle Gunsafe program at the following link.

Those of you who are more interested in practicing Saul Alinskys “Rules for Radicals” and continuing to polarize this country, I suggest you visit this website.

We must ask why you insist on being a liar.

mm, I just watched the news clip. I suspect, based on the people interviewed, that the owner of the gun did not obtain it legally. So I’ll tell you what. I’m gonna go play golf tomorrow, and you surf the various news sites, since you are a news junky, and find out when, where, and how the “owner” obtained the gun. Post that information, and I’ll comment regarding responsibility and accountability of gun ownership in the afternoon. If you don’t, I won’t be surprised. I know your kind.

“We must ask these difficult questions since the NRA champions a theme of guns for all. They mean ALL, and let’s consider that the genius to allowed the gun to fall into this child’s hands would probably pass a background check with flying colors.”

MM,even though you said ALL, I’m pretty sure you did not mean to include 4 year olds. But even eliminating them, your charge is inaccurate. The NRA does not want guns in the hands of “the genius who allowed the gun to fall into this child’s hands”. Here is a quote from Wayne Lapierre:

“We have a mental health system in this country that has completely and totally collapsed. We have no national database of these lunatics. … 23 states are still putting only a small number of records into the system and a lot of states are putting none. So when they go through the National Instant Check System and they go to try to screen out one of those lunatics, the records are not even in the system. [...]
We have backed the National Instant Check system, we have backed putting anyone adjudicated mentally incompetent into the system.”

He and the NRA do not believe everyone should be allowed to have a gun. We may not agree with everything he stands for, but give credit where credit is due.
