Boy, 3, kills himself with gun found in family's car

27. They are supposed to be the law abiding responsible ones.

I don't know what you mean by "What if it was a cop?" Now we're hypothesizing that there may have been a "No Guns" sign? Please. I don't think we want to go there.
I don't blame gun owners in general for anything. I blame gun freaks for encouraging the sort of behavior that led to this tragedy. I blame the NRA and all who support the irresponsible carrying of handguns in public and encourage more people to do it, in the name of safety. I blame those who jeopardize the lives of innocent children in order to compensate for their own shortcomings and assuage their irrational fears. I blame those who call instruments of death safety tools. I blame those who when they read of such tragedies, hang their heads in shame, knowing that their voices and their actions helped cause this tragedy. I blame everyone who cheers when public safety takes a back seat to yet another redefining of RKBA and legislators let themselves be bullied, by lobbyists for the gun industry and the NRA, into loosening gun laws in the name of "civil rights".
And I blame them all for fucking it up for regular folk who keep guns for legitimate purposes, yet get smeared by the fallout from incidents like this.
