While tragic, not quite the pandemic I had expected. The CDC says 591 accidental firearm-related deaths in 2011, of which 102 were under the age of 18, and roughly half under the age of 13 (PDF). Firearm locks are around $3/ea (and usually distributed with new handguns) while a lockable container is around $20. The National Shooting Sports Foundation distributes free firearm locks. I see no mention of any free locks or cases on EveryTown and MomsDemandAction. If Mr. Bloomberg really cared about protecting lives, wouldn't some of his $50M be better spent purchasing freely distributable firearm locks and/or lockable cases?

That would take the risk of fixing the problem without forcing the social change he wants. Change is important, not lives. Your figures show even less child firearm related accidental deaths than I had thought.

Here my friend is the crap I am talking about... now remember my town is only 30,000 now if you like extrapolate this nation wide... It will give you an idea of the number of stolen guns now killing and robbing people... Can you, like Bama, tell me you think these idiots in my town do not bare some responsibility for leaving their guns unsecured in unlocked vehicles... What would you say to the careless person whose gun was used to kill your child? Butch

Butch I don't know about Bama but I know what I'd tell him: You are a frigging, irresponsible, careless piece of stupidity. I hope you can sleep with yourself for being such a dumbass...but you're NOT the one who shot my kid. That all falls on the shoulders of the murdering bastardized who did.

once upon a time, there was a program for police. they got trigger locks, the bicycle type from an (I think it was ATF program) you could check with the local popo to see if they have any left, I got like 50 when I went there.

kdsub -> RE: Nobody wants to take your guns. (10/30/2015 12:43:45 PM)
That is true... but I sure as hell would like a law that saw to it that the ass never touched another gun the rest of his or her life...at the least. But if I had my way there would also be one hell of a fine... and have the money collected go towards firearm education.... money talks and is a great deterrent of future carelessness. Butch

How many drunk drivers doing time were deferred by their first offense? How many murderers doing time have that murder as their only strike on their rap sheet? You do like so many, butch...you ostensibly recognize that the fault lies on the murderer but since the gun owner himself wasn't responsible, you're going to find a way to make him responsible. Yet...if a young, slightly intoxicated woman walking alone through a rough section of town while wearing a dress up to her as and showing 75% of her boob's gets raped, who are you going to hold responsible? The rapist? Or the young lady dressing provocatively (leaving the gun on the seat) while alone and slightly intoxicated (door left unlocked, leaving the gun unprotected)?

Butch The news article says 10 firearms were stolen from cars in your town, it does not say those firearms were used in any crimes.

kdsub -> RE: Nobody wants to take your guns. (10/30/2015 6:17:49 PM)
They were stolen and not recovered... where do you reasonably think they are now? I believe all guns must be registered and their owners known. When a gun is recovered from a crime scene, which they often are, the police will know where it came from. Now some firearms will be secured properly and still stolen...if this is the case they have no liability... but... If they were lost or stolen unsecured, as these were, then culpability can be assigned.... Especially if a child is injured or killed. Butch

Of course... this has nothing to do with the punishment of the criminal... I hope they rot in hell.

Most pro and anti gun sites I take with a grain of salt... but THIS one I believe is on the up and up... just check out some of the statistics... crime may be going down but the carnage is increasing. Just read the section on suicides...for instance. Butch

Butch I don't know where they are now, nor do you, and apparently nor does law enforcement. You are guessing the stolen firearms were used in crimes and making an impossibly huge leap in assuming the stolen firearms were used to injure a child. Your suggestion of making firearm owners "known" could make them a target for theft which could potentially increase the number of stolen firearms that may or may not be used in crimes. Additionally, a firearm owner has simply expressed his 2nd Amendment right and performed no illegal act. Should everyone expressing their rights be similarly "known"? When a firearm is recovered at the scene of a crime, law enforcement could (potentially) figure out who last "registered" it per ATF-4473 forms. There would be a huge disincentive for people to report stolen firearms if they know they'll be investigated and potentially fined. As per one of your other posts, some police departments refuse to enforce laws for political reasons. It stands to reason there are other police departments who, to advance a political agenda, will go out of their way to identify a firearm owner and victim of theft as negligent, which only increases the disincentive of reporting a firearm stolen. I'm not advocating firearm owners store their weapons insecurely, I'm questioning your panacea of holding a victim responsible for theft because it sounds an awful lot like blaming rape victims because of their attire. You have clearly not thought out the implications of your suggestion. Here's a simple solution that doesn't blame victims, requires no additional laws, requires no government intervention, and is proactive about safety: free lockable handgun containers.

Just read the section on suicides...for instance. Butch Regarding suicides, are you also anti-abortion under all circumstances? Did you support Mr. Bloomberg when he banned high capacity soda containers? Are you a smoker? Drinker? Do you believe one cannot do whatever they want with their own body, assuming it does not physically injure others?

kdsub -> RE: Nobody wants to take your guns. (10/30/2015 7:27:44 PM)
But they do find stolen guns every day... and when they do they should know the circumstances and the owner... and when appropriate assign culpability to the owner whose reasonably unsecured weapon was stolen and used in a crime or accident to a child. As far as the unsecured guns stolen I know this... whoever has them has committed at least ONE crime... and it is reasonable to assume they will commit more...and it is reasonable to assume sometime in the future one of these guns will be recovered in a crime. Butch
