From Tampa Bay Times:
We have to start making that cognitive connection - having a gun around the house increases the likelihood of something really shitty happening just because you have a gun around the house. And we have to make that connection beyond the obvious bit about "well, it's the uncle's fault" or "the parents shoulda taught their kid better".
Warning labels are required on 5-gallon buckets for fuck sake. We can't figure out something to do about guns?
hat tip = Democratic Underground
TAMPA — A 3-year-old boy who found a gun in a backpack and shot himself died Tuesday night, authorities said, a local addition to this month's spate of child shootings nationwide.The kid found the gun in a backpack - in his bedroom. Would this be a different story if he'd not had access to the gun? Would it be a story at all?
