A family are dealing with unbearable grief this morning after their
16-month-old daughter was shot dead by her two-year-old brother – just
days after a similar tragedy.

Police are investigating the circumstances surrounding the death on
Tuesday, but it is believed that Calvuna Reese's unnamed brother
accidentally pulled the trigger of a loaded gun.

The news has sent shock waves around the community in Memphis,
Tennessee, U.S., with one neighbour, Randy Lark, telling the local TV
station: "Oh it tears me up. It really, really hurts. I'm so shocked and
hurt by what happened to this child."

Randy added: "Everyone should learn from that lesson, not to leave a
loaded gun around a kid."

The shooting comes just two days after a similar incident in Kentucky
when 15-month-old Bella San Martin was shot dead by her three-year-old
brother in their family's Kentucky home on Sunday.

Police involved said it was a tragic accident and that the parents were
home at the time.

In the landscape of consumer products, firearms stand alone as being
inately dangerous while serving no useful purpose in the hands of
consumers. Firearms makers enjoy conspicuous freedom from law suits and
regulators by consumers when their products cause injury or death.

The idea that the right to bear arms was intended so that citizens can
protect themselves from unconstitutional acts performed by their own
gov't is hogwash if not impractical.

The only thing that the right to bear arms has given the citizens of the
United States is pain, misery and suffering.
