Again with the someone who no one knows expert nonsense. Again it means nothing. In fact I can honestly say if this is a real person, he is an idiot. If you and your invisible appearing out of nowhere LEO friend think open carrying is arrogant, then so be it. It is a silly blanket statement with no validity at all. Enjoy.
Well knowing him and knowing he's a great guy, a great husband/father, and a great and rational LEO, and comparing that to the person you present here, I'm more than happy to be siding with him, and look forward to many LEOs just like him, and open carry becoming illegal across the land.
The problem no one see's here is that these shootings are labeled as "accidental". Primarily because the acceptance gun ownership has gained in our society, we would rather call these incidents accidents instead of a crime. Because once we start calling these incidents crimes, we actually have to pass laws that might make it more difficult for people to own firearms. The NRA and its useful idiots will never allow that.
If the shoe fits. I'm a very slight woman, and no one ever saw my weapon. It's not that hard to accomplish.

Ah - the price we pay.
Why don't you explain this. I know what you mean-you are trying to say that having a right to keep and bear arms costs "innocents" their lives. It is like your attempt to argue for a monument to "second amendment martyrs" claiming that our rights cause others to die
You would have made a great post if it weren't for the partisan baiting.The problem no one see's here is that these shootings are labeled as "accidental".

useful idiocy is blaming the NRA for the actions of someone who was most likely not an NRA members.
A society which has almost as many weapons as people is going to have an amount of collateral damage. Some innocent people will pay for that reality.
It is an accident crime or not because of no intent to harm or kill anyone. It's like the difference between criminal trespass and burglary or Murder 1 or 2 and negligent homicide. Intent is as important as the actions involved under thew law.
that might be a good bet Turtle. Only about 1/4 of Americans are gun owners and the NRA has between 4 and 4.5 million members so 90% or more of gun owners don't join up.

As a life NRA member I fully support safe storage laws for all states. Leaving your gun accessable to to any "prohibited person" (which includes 5 year-olds) is not an accident, it's negligence, and negligence IS a crime.
That the gun owner is not facing a felony child endangerment charge for this demonstrates a Law Enforcement deficiency. Passing more gun control doesn't adress problems of deraliction of duty with the District Attorney's office.

Do you consider fatal automobile accidents intentional crimes too?
How about the far more common case of kids drowning in swimming pools.
Do people like you celebrate infant deaths as something you can use to bash legal gun ownership?
It sure seems so And what sort of background screening checks against ACCIDENTS?
If only we didn't have to fight off gun control nutters, there would be time and money to do that.Then as an NRA member, you and your NRA buddies should get together and ask lawmakers to prosecute those who's unattended weapon has "accidentally" killed someone.

This child is dead because you wanted an assult weapon ban. How many more children will the Left sacrifice for their anti-American agenda?
You just unknowingly proved my point. I did not say anywhere in my post that the owner of the weapon should be charged with murder, but they should be charged with negligent homicide, or something along those lines.
The civil war has nothing to do with the issue of gun ownership, and I've never lived in a southern state anyway. Nice try but your hyperbolic bull**** is weak.When the gun nuts start being part of the solution rather then the problem, the "gun control nutters" will stop fighting you. It is a fight you will loose in the long run. As I have said many times before, you can either come to the bargaining table and be part of the solution, or be left out and let us "gun control nutters" solve the issue without you. The country has been on a liberal track for a few hundred years. It is about time you come to terms with that. The south lost the war, slavery was abolished, women were allowed to vote and gay marriage is now becoming legal in most states. How many more wars do you want to lose? I highly suggest to you "gun nuts" out there that you come meet the "gun control nutters" half way on some issues to take some of the heat off, or else you will be handed a deafening defeat.
I think the assault weapon bad is stupid. Any ban on firearms is stupid. Would I like to live in a world without firearms, YES!!! But the reality is that is impossible. In an idealistic world, I would like all firearms banned. Unfortunately we do not live in such a world, so any bad would be ineffective.
The owner knew unauthorized use could occure if they didn't secure the gun, so this wasn't an accident. The owner failed to properly secure the gun, so it's negligence.No? I was agreeing and explaining why. I think they should be charged as well. I was pointing out it is also still an accident.
Police are still investigating. There is a good chance that the owner would be charged with something if possible.You just unknowingly proved my point. I did not say anywhere in my post that the owner of the weapon should be charged with murder, but they should be charged with negligent homicide, or something along those lines.

You obviously missed my point. I was not saying that gun owners wish the south had won, or that slavery should return, or that gays should not be able to marry each other... Although I do believe that if you looked at the statistics, you will find that more gun owners hold those views then people who do not own guns, it was not my point. My point is that our country has always moved in a liberal direction. If you go back 50 years, no one could have imagined two men getting married. Today it is more acceptable and less controversial. Today many would never imagine an America with strict gun laws, but following other examples, 30-40-50 years from now, there will be because that is the direction our country is headed in. Like it or not....
Actually gun control has been moving more "libertarian" over the past 30 years.
30 years ago, only Florida had "shall issue" concealed carry permits... now almost 40 states have them, or no permit required.
Assault weapons ban sunset, not renewed.
Heller decision.
