See you are being disingenuous and bad faith here. As if kids are the only drowning.
Quote them pls.
Do road ragers who brandish guns deserve them too? You are defending them as well. I've been threaten with fire arms over parking spaces. You really trying to tell me irresponsible gun owners are a minor inconvenient?
Crazy. The way I see it you are the one not understanding stats in their broader context to justify mediocrity and bad behavior. And in the above thread I've pointed out why I think you are a bad faith libertarian.
Also from your own link:
Which is what I've been saying. I rest my case. Please be mature about the issues.
How so? A dead kid is a dead kid. Why are you wanting to put laws in place for something that rarely happens?
You literally have multiple comments about safe storage. If you're suggesting that there should be laws in place to force people to put their firearms in a locked safe then that's a stupid draconian law because it cannot be enforced without the police having the ability to randomly come into your home and check...it also requires a registry.
If you're not suggesting that, then this discussion is pointless.
Deserve what? Brandishing a firearm is illegal. What else do you want it to be?
300+ a year in pools vs 25+ a year with firearm accidents...is it the kids dying or guns that bother you?
Also from your own link:
Yes common sense things...you can also teach your child about proper gun safety as well...
I have been. I'm trying to figure out why you seem to think I'm some libertarian... I'm assuming it's because I'm very pro2a.
I did not. I am simple saying that people that cannot be responsible with their guns should not have them. Your insistence on defending those who are irresponsible make me feel you should be disarmed as well perhaps.
Yeah, your shit takes justifying others shitty behavior.
Interesting you don't denouce that behavior.
I see all kinds of bad gun ownership and fuckwads like you defending it is appaling. People leave their guns in plain view in cars in public parking lots, forget them out in a yard, or drunk and shooting them.
Gun problems also go beyond kids being harmed, so you simply pulling those stats and ignoring the rest is very disingenuous of you.
Seriously tho, read the start of the thread again. I took a reasonable position on the matter. Its you and that other person that went out of their way to be unreasonable and defend irresponsible gun owners. And you are the one who made it about kids to begin with. Then half way you try some "not every house has kids BS" backing out of your original point.
I simply said that leaving guns around for a just in case is not very responsible.
So yeah, I am calling you a disingenuous person. And one that is emotionally unready for this conversation, so I will be stopping here.
