There is no logic to your post.

Just because it is possible to use another implement to kill doesn't mean that guns are not far too easily obtained.

Did you have to Google this article to find an example that fit your parameters?

I wonder, if given the chance would the family of the dead 2 year old child in Kentucky rather he have played with a knife rather than the gun?

I have a 22 month old boy and I would guess that he'd be far more likely to seriously injure/kill himself with a knife than a gun. He's rather clumsy and would probably be 10 times more likely to fall and stab himself with a knife then shooting himself or someone else.

Now iirc the story from Kentucky involved a 5 year old accidently shooting his 2 year old sister with a .22 he for his birthday? I also have a 6 year old to go along with the 22 month old. She isn't interested in guns and has never fired one. They scare her and that's fine I would never force it on her. I do, however have guns in the house (they're all in safes that neither child has access to but still in the house nonetheless) and have taught her basic gun safety for that reason. She knows to assume any gun she comes in contact with is loaded. She knows to always know where the barrel of any gun is pointed and to never point a gun (loaded or not) at another person. She also knows that under no circumstances should a gun ever be touched (her or a friend) without an adult being present. As opposed to trading a gun for a knife, I'm guessing the parents of the dead 2 year old are wishing they would have done the same. Her brother broke all 3 of those rules. If he had followed just one, that whole situation would have been avoided.

Also (according to the CDC) Drowning is leading cause of unintentional death among children 1-4. Then motor vehicle accident, fire, suffocation, accidental poisoning, ect... Accidental shooting wasn't even in the top 10. So I assume that people with children in that age group who have pools, cars, fireplaces, and Drano should trade them for a gun. Their children would be safer if they did.

Really liking what you had going there until that point. Good post regardless though.

I was being facetious. Basically just trying to point out how asinine his post was. In that age group the list of things that are dangerous to them if left unattended is five times longer than the list of things that aren't.

Although I do think if you have young children and have a pool you're taking a huge risk. Drowning is the second leading cause of death in that age group behind congenital heart disease. My wife and I are currently looking for houses since we have a third on the way and we're outgrowing the one we have. We've told our realtor to not even bother showing us houses with a pool.

I will say with sincerity that (I feel) if you have children under 5 that a pool is more dangerous then having guns that aren't kept in a safe.

Pools are really dangerous, I agree.


Sorry, it is hard to tell who is being facetious in this forum. There are a lot of times I want to give folks the benefit of the doubt only to be shocked.

A Volunteer is a man armed with a rifle that is master of his coon hound.....UGA is an asthmatic drooler that cannot even lick his own balls....there is no comparison to be made here

So you think licking your own balls is an attribute? And a master of a coon hound..........really? :crazy: (cause there's not an icon of an inbred ball-licker)

Ban water.....

Seriously, we had a pool in FL the entire time our kids were growing up. Taught them to swim when they were toddlers. Pools aren't dangerous, inattentive parents are.

For a dog.....I'd say the answer is yes.....but UGA's to facked up to manage this...he's too busy laying on a bag of ice to keep his fat ass from overheating.....face it...he's good for nothing. At least you can take a blue tick hunting
