Sad for sure but this guy hit it on the head

From the comment section of the article, one of the best ways I’ve seen it put…

“That’s a pretty weak argument to claim 2A is outdated, lol. We do not restrict the First Amendment because a certain percentage of speech is harmful, hateful, or used to defraud people. We do not abolish the Fourth Amendment protection against unreasonable searches just because letting the police search every house without a warrant would statistically lower the crime rate. A right exists to protect individual liberty, not to guarantee a statistically perfect safety outcome for the population.”

We unfortunately do have a group of people out to eliminate the above mentioned amendments. Given time, this country will be unrecognizable and that quote a faded memory.

The comment section of that story was insane. No detail other than a child died by gunshot, and the hyperbole on punishing the parents was through the roof.

Ill-informed folk’s today are usually the most opinionated! (My Opinion! :laughing: ). Sadly the Left (and all their diseased Brethren–the Socialist/Communist/Liberal waste products who stand on the bodies of the Innocent proclaiming their agenda is the only way have blood on their hands. The Michael Bloomberg’s, the Bill Gates who have done this country great harm with their Social Justice platforms have been the WORST SERIAL KILLERS. The sad fact is that all these people are Liar’s and hypocrites, Preaching DEFUNDING THE POLICE, (when they have 24/7 security and High walls in Gated communities. Abolishing the Second Amendment just makes aware folk’s understand that these phonies have NO IDEA what the Second Amendment IS (just like they don’t know what to do with a Woman—so sad) is scary that because they have MONEY their policies are believed to be reasonable (and sane).

You CAN’T abolish the 2nd—it was given to us by GOD! Not a rich person who BOUGHT his/her way into an elected office. IT’S NOT FOR THEM TO DECIDE WHAT IS GOOD FOR US OR WE ARE INCAPABLE OF MAKING OUR LIFE’S DECISIONS WITHOUT THEIR HELP!. They are playing GOD and no one should listen to them.

As for this poor kid? If you can’t tell us the facts and treat us like a grown up I have no comment on this either way. If you are going to tell a story (a Tragedy no less) Give us the complete picture so we know what the hell happened. 'A 5 year old girl was shot but otherwise we can’t tell you what happened…] Whatever dude then, don’t post an article like this. As for folk’s commenting (on 1/2 a story) they are idiots. Anti-Gunners will always blame the Parents, (or the Guns!) Their TDS is so complete you couldn’t get them to believe in a fact if you slapped them in the face with it. Poor Reporting is a simple way to spin yer Narrative.

“We were able to determine that this was a tragic accident involving young children,” said Sandy Police Sgt. Michael Olsen.

Police declined to release further details on Monday about the shooting, including the age of the alleged shooter or how that person obtained a gun.

Presumably, given the wording, the shot was fired by another child.

Seems like a fairly straightforward case of an unsecured firearm and curious hands.

Everyone’s situation is different, there may well be good reason the gun was NOT secure.

So I’m not gonna jump right on the bandwagon of blaming the parents, and I’m damned sure not gonna blame the gun.

Yes, that is what the story is leading one to believe, and yet, if that was so, why not state that? Additionally, was the firearm legally owned? Many of these cases are felon in possession of a firearm, wherein all the laws on the books about safe storage, etc., are rendered null and void.

but what if it was a sig? :rofl:

I had some trouble comprehending this for awhile as I’m not particularly religious (though that has changed a bit after my sons passing/follow up dreams and visit, and our move to West by God Virginia). Someone told me to think “natural law”, the right and quest for survival, inherent in probably all living beings. Suddenly it made sense.

Believe it or not my Brotherman I am not particularly religious either. But GOD is in my life always. Not a Church goer or fan of some ‘orginized’ religions but looking at the world after what I have been through (I’m sure you can relate easily @mattm ) for ME alone I know who’s running things. I just don’t need a building to go to or someone telling me what their idea of religion is. I am so cool with anybody who decides to seek God (or not) N.o.m.b ! Live and Let Live but I seriously have a prob with folk’s telling me their God can beat up my God! Seriously? :laughing: Their God doesn’t have ‘Peck’s for men’ like mine does! Muahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha !:rofl:
