In reply to the discussion: Family Of Toddler Shot Dead By 5-Year-Old Brother: ‘It Was God’s Will’ [View all]KT2000
(20,577 posts)28. I wonder if the 5 year old
had killed one of your children - let's say in their own yard and the bullet traversed from the 5 y/o's house - if you would have felt there was definitely someone to blame?
The likelihood of a 5 year old with a rifle unsupervised shooting someone is very high. This was not a random accident. The person responsible for supervising the child is responsible for that child's behavior. If the 5 y/o walked into the street and was killed by a car, wouldn't the one responsible for supervising be responsible? That would be a no-brainer case of neglect.
Unfortunately, the worship of guns in our culture has come with a lack of responsibility for the damage they cause. That is not an act of god but a willful effort on the part of the NRA.

Not giving guns to 5 year olds is very, very different from confiscating all guns.

Yeah, child protective services should have taken any remaining kids out of that nutjob home.

God the Heartless Destroyer...that is how they see it and why they see Trump as His re-incarnation.
