Don't these gunlocks make having a gun in your home in case someone breaks in a bit pointless? Especially when you've obviously got to get it out your safe first.

This is a normal post No mention on whether the owners of the firearms possessed them legally or not.
It is clear from the incendiary links at the bottom that the "news" outlet is trying to imply that this is typical of gun owners.

This is a normal post I've seen a lot of news stories about kids living with parents that use and sell drugs and keep illegal firearms (or as the dems call it "soon to be legal firearms") and because they're also having babies, it puts them in close quarters
Also, because people who buy weapons to protect their illicit trade rarely get them through legal means, they are less likely to learn or teach gun safety.

This is a normal post All of their parents were drug dealers then?

This is a normal post All of whose parents? The kids in the story or those in my account?
If the latter, they were either dealers or living with someone who dealt. The guns were for protection against police or those interested in robbing the drugs and cash.

This is a normal post You've stated that if these guns were held legally this may not have happened.
It only takes one careless moment, a lapse of judgement on a persons behalf and a kid could get hold of a gun and shoot themselves, a parent or a friend, whether the gun is legally held or not.

You're now going on about kids who live with parents who deal drugs, there's no mention of that in this story so i don't know why you're talking about drugs and dealers like that's to blame, you're talking hypothetically....yet again, as you always do in threads relating to guns.

If you mention immigrants, drugs, dealers, the gays (add what you choose) in every thread about guns it isn't justification for something like this by association.

You read The Gateway Pundit and often post links here to justify your paranoid, twisted reasoning, you refer to the news source Happy Toast has posted as a "news" site, therefore seemingly questioning how reputable it is.

Enjoy your gun-fun.

This is a normal post Certainly accidents happen, but firearm deaths are not even close to the leading cause of death for children.
And yes, people who don't anticipate using the firearm in a criminal manner tend to treat the weapons with much more respect. Are there exceptions? Of course.

And you're right, there was not mention in the story, which begged the question. I think this doubly so when the website had a pictograph at the bottom that stated, "Which politicians want guns in schools". That was an attempt to imply how horrible such politicians are (BTW the school Obama's children attend has armed guards).

And I don't view drug dealers in the same light as gays or immigrants - that's your personal hang up.

"And you're right, there was not mention in the story, which begged the question."

I read this story and didn't think "There was no mention that the parents were drug dealers, i wonder if they were?", that's very twisted and gives an insight in how your mind instantly looks for something to blame this on so you can justify it happening to someone who isn't a well liked member of society.

The website implied certain politicians were horrible? You implied the parents were probably drug dealers.

"And I don't view drug dealers in the same light as gays or immigrants - that's your personal hang up." = I know you are, you said you are, but what am i? Which is your usual tact. In that case i'm going to play you at your own tedious game and suggest YOU view gays and immigrants as being worse than drug dealers.

This is a normal post But why mention gays or immigrants at all when I didn't mention it, unless "that's very twisted and gives an insight in how your mind instantly looks for something to blame this on ..."
The article seemed more of an abstract than an article, so those questions came up. I did wonder, were the children not trained? were the firearms easily accessible? With those questions, my brain hearkened back to previous news reports of instances in which children were shot. I then gave some "surmises".

Sometimes one has to get beyond the political slant of "news" and look at the facts. Where there are no facts, one naturally questions.

This is a normal post Much bad law has been created in illogical, feel-good "If we can only save one child" terms
The firearm is highly regulated. Regulations don't stop misuse or accidents with firearms any more than they do with cars or food. For a constitutionally protected right, on equal par with free speech, religion and voting, it is hyper regulated.

Look at the bad effect alcohol has on society: there are rules and regulations attempting to control its manufacture, sale and distribution, but few speak anymore of an outright ban.

This is a normal post I do like guns, but that's not my only reason to own them. I've seen the psychological trauma associated with violent crimes. I choose not to expose myself or family to that if possible.
With a large, unsecured southern border and tens of thousands of people pouring across the border unchallenged, disarming the populace only serves the cartels and criminals.

That includes drug cartels, terrorists, criminals and people seeking to flout immigration laws. All of these have created economic, safety and public health issues.
