3 things:

[AndyS]

1; New Study Shows no safety Benefit for Guns in the Home

There is no difference in stranger homicides in homes with guns vs homes without.
The likelihood of a woman being shot in a home with a gun is 2x that of a home without.

2; Advertising by gun makers and organizations:







3; Federal truth in advertising
The federal Lanham Act allows civil lawsuits for false advertising that “misrepresents the nature, characteristics, qualities, or geographic origin” of goods or services. 15 U.S.C. § 1125(a). The FTC also enforces false advertising laws on behalf of consumers.Oct 18, 2021

When do we start suing the gun industry and it's supporters for false advertising?

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

1. There need to be counter ads showing photos

of children who found a gun and then killed someone with them.

[Ferrets are Cool]

4. Or themselves.

[liberalla]

8. I think you've hit upon an effective and powerful response. TRULY.

All those avoidable deaths and injuries that are ignored or minimized, and put down as just a "tragic accident", (as though they were UNavoidable)... People accept this excuse far too often. Dismissing it as a "tragic accident" is the equivalent of believing "thoughts and prayers" are the solution to gun violence.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

10. Yes, you nailed it.

Those horrific deaths are NOT "tragic accidents" but foreseeable outcomes.

Something else. All too often when a child kills him or herself or a sibling with a gun, the parents are not prosecuted because "They've suffered enough already." NO. They should be made examples and sent to prison for a very long time, lose any remaining children they have, and perhaps be required to do community service speaking to groups on such topics as "Why it's a good idea to keep guns secure."

2. The S&W Ladysmith features a lighter trigger pull. Great for households with kids!

[AndyS]

9. (Not so)Fun fact:

Many toddlers shoot themselves in the chest or face because they use their thumb to pull the trigger because they are too little to have the strength in the fingers.

[multigraincracker]

3. These are great times

to be a lawyer.

[ancianita]

6. Seriously.

Law schools can't crank them out fast enough to keep up with the rate we'll suing for wrongful deaths and all the other loss, harm and damage that manufacturers of assault and automatic weapons inflict on society by the tools' very purpose.

[Lonestarblue]

5. And how about the ads for guns with pink stocks for little girls?

Your little girl doesn’t need a Barbie doll, she needs a girl especially made for her. This is just so wrong that the NRA markets guns for young children.

[usonian]

7. People don't seem to respond to warnings until they sadly hit home (Kavanaugh?)

Repost.
Someone captured this before Daniel Defense took it down.


Oh, and who remembers "Alfred Hitchcock Presents"... we warned you!
