A 3-year-old accidentally shot and killed their 1-year-old sibling Monday in Fallbrook after getting ahold of an unsecured handgun, San Diego County Sheriff’s Deputies said.
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.
You can only do so much to encourage gun safety, but when you get to this point I think it’s only fitting to charge the gun owner with a felony and forbid them from ever owning a firearm again.
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.

Such a rare opinion to see today.
Spot on. Pretty much the only reason I carry. Never know when some d bag is going to start blasting the local grocery store.

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.

With a 3 year old, even just emptying the gun would have been effective. Or putting it in heights
