I want to personally thank O-Big Ears for doing something Right during his Leadership.

According to several Gun Stores I have visited Gun Buying and Gun Ownership, CCW Permits are at the HIGHEST Levels in the past 15 Years !!!

Thanks Big Ears

I don't know about SC but in NC we have a law that would have address this and under the law the grandmother or her sister would have been guilty of leaving an unsecured firearm out for a minor.

I was responding to backwater. He/she questioned Chicago because of current laws.

Guns don't shoot people toddlers do.

Hangs, honey. We have laws currently on the books. You aren't supposed to shoot someone in cold blood anyway. You know that, right? As for the toddler, you have to WATCH a toddler. When you have a toddler in the house, you have to do things differently or the toddler isn't safe. You can't leave medicine laying around. You can't leave guns laying around. You can't let them stomp the dog. You can't let them climb out a two story window. I could go on......

Toddler takes car on joy ride, nope never heard of a 2 year old attempting that one.


So, because you believe the laws don't work we shouldn't have them?


So speed limits, just do away with them because people are going to speed anyway right?


Heck, why have laws against breaking and entering because well people are still going to do it.


Makes sense, right?

It would be nice if other states didn't smuggle in so many guns .

The gun laws are working great in Chicago. Only 4 killed and 16 wounded this past weekend. I did not look at Stats for Baltimore.

Have you ever read a headline --- Two year old accidentally overdoses grandmother---?

How about ---Toddler accidentally gives medicine to sibling and it kills them---?

Nope me either. But I've read about toddlers shooting their siblings.

funny how car accidents and guns aren't even remotely similar.

I'm glad Ben Carson would know just what to do. Ha.

Accidents do happen, daily. That's unfortunate. Car accidents happen. I'm curious how many deaths we have from accidental prescription medication overdose, etc. I'd say that's fairly high.

I think it was in a car. Just from what I've seen.

But hey guns don't kill people "stuff happens". Like a two year old growing up with the knowledge that he shot his grandmother. I don't believe she died.

Grandma failed to adhere to the concept of baby proofing the home. Probably a bottle of Drano laying around and beside it a bottle of kid vitamins that look like candy.


However to be objective.... she was irresponsible, and IF the gun was hers AND she knew it was there. Then she is the type of person who should not have a gun. Some people are just NOT responsible!

2 year old shoots grandmother in the back.

Guns don't kill people 2 year olds do.

Maybe the real blame should be upon those institutions/places that do not provide adequate security!??

SRO;s started in the 1960s in Florida. Thats school resource officerd , for the rest of you. FYI they are on duty sheriffs deputies and they are armed

They truth is the school was too cheap to pay for armed security.
