Reports: Father accidentally shoots, kills 10-month-old son in front of family

26. Yup, one of my buds...

who waves their guns in front of their children. Because I associate with those people all the time. Yup... You'd have us believe I shot the child by proxy.

Actually, I don't hang out with gun owners, except my sister who votes Socialist and works direct care at the Arc; and my mom, who's a Democrat and works for the county Office for the Aging. My sister likes muzzle-loader rifles and mom has a bolt-action .22 for the coyotes attacking her neighbor's Chihuahuas.

I don't support dumb gun laws like complete confiscation (You ever lose your remote? That's how big some handguns are... short of tearing up everyone's floorboard, you aren't going to get them all.) and New York's "You can own a 10-round, but you can only put 7 in it" bullcrap. I also think an AWB is pretty pointless (Just get a wood stock for your Mini-14 and you're fine), but I understand the argument for it and I won't stand in the way. However, I'm fully on board with universal background checks and strict training for pistol permits (I have to prove I can drive a car before I go anywhere, and I had to take a live-fire class to get a hunting license, why not a handgun?).

But no, I own a gun, so I must be on this fucktard's side. The world is black and white.
