Yes, we don't have to eat a gun here in Oregon.
You can go to Georgia for that.

It seems that killings are just fine when suits YOUR purpose, only instead of enabling armed citizens to kill in the name of security, you enable doctors to kill in the name of convenience! Barbarian, hypocrite, and as an Oregonian ... ACCOMPLICE!

Trayvon Martin didn't ask to be "secured".

Perhaps if he had, he'd still be alive just like the person who claims to have secured himself from him. Duh.

3-year-old kills self with gun in car in Washington

Anytime you want an update, just search Google News for "child killed gun"

And then today, there is this...

In light of recent child gun accidents, awareness raised
for need of Eddie Eagle Gun Safety Program

Quote:
In the past few weeks, three children in Washington state have been shot
— two of them killed — because the owners of guns didn't lock them up tight.
So, who does the politicians call for help
... none other than ......(wait for it)............ the NRA !
Quote:
The National Rifle Association, education professionals,
urban housing safety officials, clinical psychologists, and law enforcement
developed the Eddie Eagle Gun Safety Program to teach children
in prekindergarten through third grade how to stay safe if they encounter a gun.

Since the Gun Safety program began in 1988, it has reached
more than twenty-one million children, in all fifty states.
<snip>
WOW ! 21,000,000 children in all 50 states
- somehow Eddy Eagle is not working for 3 year olds.

Ouch ! such name-calling

Call me when you, or someone close to you, is terminallly ill.
Oh wait, I probably won't be around then.

Take a few minutes to read our law (ORS 127.865 (2)).
You just might want to come to Oregon or Washington.
... and until, then as Reagan said, I won't hold your youth against you.

Stop. Don't Touch. Get an adult.

Pretty straightforward, even for the average 3 year old.

Eddie Eagle is a very basic firearms safety program.

Locking up a gun doesn't make it safer. Learning to respect one does.

Around 75 children under 5 die in firearms related incidents.

350 children under 5 drowned in bathtubs, pools, hottubs, and other water sources in the home.

How's that campaign to ban water going?

You old people are so funny!

Actually, my Spec. Ops. medical training included euthanasia. When operating in denied areas, situations can occur in which someone becomes mortally wounded; but, can neither be taken with the rest nor left behind without risking compromising the mission (that many other lives may depend on) if the mortally wounded lives long enough to be captured and interrogated.

You've probably heard the saying: "People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones." If you've forgotten what it means, that's OK, I won't hold your advanced years against you.

Were any of the owners of the guns that killed these kids members of the NRA?

What's with all these diversions... abortions, assisted suicides, drownings ?

Dwellars are bright enough to know none of these have anything to do with guns killing people.
Abortions might be brought to zero
Assisted suicides might be brought to zero
Drownings might be brought to zero
... and guns would still be killing people just the same

If you know this is happening, what do you propose ?

One was the daughter of a police officer.
I don't know if he was a member of the NRA.

ETA: He was one of two gun owners that had CCL's

A reasonable extension of your rhetoric would have been:

Abortions might be brought to zero
Assisted suicides might be brought to zero
Drownings might be brought to zero
Shootings might be brought to zero

Then you could have asked for proposals on how to accomplish it; but, you didn't. Instead you went off with language that irrationally attributes actions to man made objects that aren't capable of acting on their own.

Where others see analogies, you see diversions: that's because you're set on one course of action that you see as a panacea while others see it as a placebo. You can't get rid of all guns any more than you can get rid of everything people can drown in, that people can use to commit suicide; or, ways people can perform an abortion.

You exhibit the same kind of mindset that causes me to think of some people as gun fanatics, in your case an antigun fanatic. There's no real room for discussion with those in either group. You've convinced me that your question was rhetorical.
