You think of a way to take the guns away from about 200 million people spread out over more than 3 million square miles, tell it to the President.Flying Dagger said:

Then a few years down the line you introduce more and more red tape surrounding the ownership of a gun, before in a few years making it a felony, claiming that the age old views of the amendments are no longer feasible in todays society. Proclaim that you have made the country a safer place, and secure your place in the history books.
Can't wait to start studying politics with policy studies later this year
Of course a President won't do this, and the hits to employment and tax revenue are even more then usually damaging at this point in time... But if you were to do it, that's how it could be done.
I sit here trying to think of something witty, but I just can't, this is too tragic for words. Wait, here we go, how about... nope... got nothing.
....I know humans are notoriously stupid, but that art takes time to develop. Time a three-year-old wouldn't have had, considering she's f***ing three.
And really, unless the girl was unsupervised for an extensive period, how the hell would she have noticed the gun when her mom didn't???

OT: Gun control lunatics are gonna go apeshit over this. Its the parents' fault for not knowing WTF gun safety is. I say charge em with manslaughter
I don't see anywhere that videogames are actually being blamed for this. Merely that a three year old mistook one thing for another. I think we're starting to get all defensive whenever videogames are mentioned at all, and that is probably just as bad as the knee-jerk reaction that blames them in the first place.
I remember I was in year ten in Maths when I worked that our with another history student.Quaxar said:

Of course, Ol' Gavrillo was in the middle of 'ssassinatin' ol' Ferdy anyway, but I wonder whether it was pickle&Cheese or a Good Ol' BLT that got him readyQuaxar said:
i just don't understand the usefulness of guns. I've always been told that when you're not using them they should be unloaded, safety on, and locked in a box hidden in your closet. safe and out of reach of anyone you don't want using them, so 3 year old's don't end up shooting themselves. but if you're ever in the position where you need to use a gun, i doubt you'll have the time to get it out of your closet, find the keys the safe, get the gun, take the safety off and load it. it just seems impracticable to me. I'm just saying, you can't accidentally stab someone to death.
Thats the parents fault 100% I don't care what anyone says. You don't leave loaded guns laying around anytime much less when you have children around.
Guns weren't created to scare intruders or act tough with, they were desinged to kill and they will do it effeciently.
