Trigger locks are not hard to get and are inexpensive.
I’m iffy on more gun control, but if there is something I’d want to do, it’d be requiring businesses to provide a trigger lock with each sale.
The average American is too dumb to own guns and I say this from a household with several guns. Seriously would rather not have them if that means idiots and the mentally unstable don’t either.
…it’d be requiring businesses to provide a trigger lock with each sale.
Pretty much is in the State of California. This is yet another instance of someone not following the basic god damned rules of firearm safety.
Every gun I’ve bought came with a cable lock. They are a waste though as would be a required trigger lock. I prefer different and more reliable storage methods.
And just because something came in the box doesn’t mean it is going to be used correctly. Especially if someone doesn’t like that way of securing a firearm. A better way is probably just some PSAs and tax breaks for security/storage devices to encourage proper storage. If there are going to be these things in every box give me a way to return them or something.
That wouldn’t have happened if the 1-year-old had a gun 🤔
You saying this in this scenario is the reason why we’re so divided. You try to pervert fair arguments and make them seem absurd.
These are not the issues the democrats are targeting in wanting to solve when they want to ban semi-autos, and you know it.
If the 3 yo instead stabbed the 1 year old, would that make a difference? Should we start banning household knives?

I say F the 2nd. And it was gun rights advocates who radicalized me, not Democrats.
Okay, well until we as a country determine that the constitution needs amending and we want to repeal the 2nd amendment, it’s the constitution that is the most important part of the law that every state must abide by.
I like that you didn’t respond to the rest of my comment that showed how stupid yours was. What do you think of the criticism I had for your comment, do you just want to ignore my points of
- You’re strawmanning the argument
- This isn’t the scenario’s the democrats are targeting when they want to ban AR’s.
- If a different weapon was used, do you think it’s a good argument to ban said weapon?
Whats the “fair argument”? You need more guns to prevent more shootings? Do you realise how dumb this is?
I don’t hear a lot about 3-year-olds stabbing 1-year-olds. I do hear a lot about toddlers getting guns and shooting other kids…

American solution: put the 3yo in prison for forced labour and arm all 1 year olds so they can defend themselves.
the 2 common culprits in all these horrible stories are: 1) human stupidity 2) gun proliferation. solving the first would require eugenism. solving the second is a big american no-no. So don’t call it horrible, just live with it. It’s just a normal by-product of american culture.
IMHO solving 1 needed educations, but that’s also a big American no-no, so we’re back to square one.

No it’s not. For all of their ills, stupidity, nonsense, fraud, and extremely questionable decisions the NRA does run education campaigns with their “Eddie Eagle” program. A big problem is that it has been kicked out of schools, especially schools in Blue States, so they’re unable to reach one of the audiences that need it the most.
It’s like Red States kicking Sex Education out of schools and being shocked at teen pregnancies. Education works far better than restriction. Always.
it has been kicked out of schools
So, as @Ichi_matsu@ttrpg.network said, it’s a big no-no for Americans.
Why would the gun be loaded? At the very least the gun and the ammo should be separated.
The better question is why was a handgun needed? People shouldn’t buy deadly weapons for fun.
Not if your concerned about personal safety. I don’t live in the best neighborhood. So the time to slide in 12ga rounds might cost me my life.

All my others are in safes and the ammo is not easily accessible.
Clearly we need to arm 1 year olds so they can defend themselves
