Child Must Have Thought a Gun Was a Wii Remote, Mother Says

I'm not in the mood for a total anti-gun rant right now so I'll just say two points. For either side of the argument.
1) Regardless of how we feel, we can't deny that had the gun not been there this wouldn't have happened.
2) Why do only gun related infant deaths get blamed on video games? Surely there must be cases of kids drinking a ton of bleach (although as a toddler I drank a bottle of oven cleaner and lived to tell the tale) or getting cut by knives? Are guns deaths just more common?

Depends, on an automatic, if there's a chambered round and the hammer is cocked? Then yes. On a revovler, you can basically ignore the "if there's a chambered round" part.Flour said:
Most firearms use a heavy first trigger pull as a safty feature. Once it's cocked though, the idea is to limit the amount of strain needed with each subsiquent pull of the trigger. If whoever'd taken the gun out the night before had simply decocked it, we might not be having this discussion now. Litterally, one light mussle movement to flick a switch or push a button could have saved this girl's life (not by safing it), but by making the trigger too heavy for her to pull.
From what I've gathered from most Americans I know that own guns and don't also believe in stricter limits/bans on guns, yes that's how they think.Tiamat666 said:
And they get surprised when the rest of us go "what the fuck?"
Anyways, I hope the girl is in a better place now, away from those stupid, stupid parents. I hope they rot in prison, but I know they probably won't.
wouldn't the father be the true idiot for leaving the gun out, and isn't the mother is either calmly evaluating the situation (since it was her fault and granted this would be some erie scary calm thought process of her), or doesn't want to admit a worse scenario that could have happened happened?Onyx Oblivion said:

One wonders how you leave an unsecured weapon in the grasp of a fucking child. America, you should not be allowed to have guns unless you can keep them properly. Your 'right' to have guns is stupid, and this just proves it.
she doesn't, she really doesn't, and to even make that sick of a joke man your a ___________(you guys fill in the word or words yourself)anthony87 said:
there are so many things wrong with this story:
if you leave a gun out where children can reach it your a bad parent
if you fail to notice your child playing with said gun you are a bad parent
if you blame video games for your child shooting him/herself when said gun is left on said table you are quite simply a idiot.
the mother along with the step father should be sent to jail for manslaughter. and, if they have anymore children they should be taken away.

In all fairness, this is a three year old were talking about, so i geuss i could understand her perhpas mistakeing a gun for a wii-mote, however, the fact that the mother wasen't watching her daughter, and the fact that there was a LOADED GUN IN THE ROOM WITH A TODDLER is inexcusable.
It's a shame, being take so young from this world.
