Parents must be half wits. I bet they are Republicans. I bet they're hill billies that don't even vote. I'm posting the text of the story for those that haven't read it: ========= May 4 / 2012 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. |

Should we outlaw cars too harry? Can consumers sue gun companies for product liability / defective product reasons like they can for cars or other consumer products? If an old lady can sue McDonalds because she burned herself when she spilled a hot coffee, then why can't a home owner sue Smith & Wesson or Colt because their product did not have enough built-in safety mechanisms to prevent accidental injury or death? If normal consumer product tort and liability laws applied to gun companies as they do to all other consumer product companies, there would be a much different gun situation in the US. Guns would be more expensive and much safer to handle when exposed to children for example. And anyone injured or killed by a stolen or lost gun (a gun that was not reported to the police as being lost or stolen) should be able to sue the last registered owner for negligence and wrongful death. Insurance companies would or could include additional premiums for homeowners that have or maintain dangerous products in their house that can kill or injure others or be stolen and used to injure or kill others - most specifically firearms. If you want to make it so that it's your right to own a gun - fine. If you want to own a company that makes or sells guns - fine. If your gun injures or kills someone (regardless who pulled the trigger) then some degree of responsibility should be aimed at you, and your ass should be able to be sued for (at least) monentary damages. You have to carry liability and property damage insurance to own/operate a car. The same should also apply to firearms. |

Motor vehicles are not designed to kill. Perce I beg to differ with you. My guns have never killed anything. Bullets do the kilin' when and if essential. So impose an enormous tax on ammunition. The late Senator Patrick Moynihan proposed just that. Of course there is reloading... BTW, the Second Amendment states right up front why people should have the right to bear arms. Have you signed up with your local militia? Does your local militia commander know how to get in touch with you to summon you for duty and what weapons you have and how well skilled you are in their use? Do you report for training as required? You demonstrate your ignorance. In the 18th century, "militia" was defined as the totality of all free men available for military service. One did not "sign up" to be in the militia, one WAS in the militia simply by existing. If, by training, you refer to the "well regulated" part of the 2nd Amendment, you again demonstrate ignorance. Remember, in the 18th century, there were no "regulations" as we know them nor any group, such as taxi cabs, to be "regulated." The word "regulated" at that time (and still does today in some small measure) meant "a functionally acceptable mechanical device, meeting usage requirements" as in a "well-regulated timepiece." You are correct about one of the reasons for firearms being stated up front in the 2nd Amendment. Of course the ability to defend the country is not the only reason as the money part of the amendment makes clear: "... the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." |

If an old lady can sue McDonalds because she burned herself when she spilled a hot coffee, then why can't a home owner sue Smith & Wesson or Colt because their product did not have enough built-in safety mechanisms to prevent accidental injury or death? If normal consumer product tort and liability laws applied to gun companies as they do to all other consumer product companies, there would be a much different gun situation in the US. Guns would be more expensive and much safer to handle when exposed to children for example. Civil suits arising from damages caused by firearms are specifically prohibited by "The Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act," (2005), and became Public Law 109-02 (15 USC 7901 et seq. ).

We already have enough gun laws. Don't you get it? BTW, the Second Amendment states right up front why people should have the right to bear arms. Have you signed up with your local militia? Does your local militia commander know how to get in touch with you to summon you for duty and what weapons you have and how well skilled you are in their use? Do you report for training as required? Perce In summary, I am 911. |
