    A 2-year-old boy accidentally shot himself in the head Saturday, and died, police said. The toddler's parents were not home during the shooting in Fresno, California.https://usat.ly/2J7sdzk

        A tragic accident could happen to anyone but I think that charging parents for incidents like this would do wonders for some preventative gun safety in homes. Ugh

        but, this can't really "happen to anyone" if the guns were safely stored

        Ah... those precious guns. Surely the 2nd Amendment for you Originalists wasn’t meant for this, was it?

        Carelessness on a parents part has nothing to do with the second amendment. Not sure how you are equating the two. Kids dye from drinking house cleaners too do you want them banned? They die in car accidents everyday, do you want cars banned? You are reaching here.

        A two year old doesn’t know gun safety.. I’m a 2A supporter who is opposed to letting 2 year olds own or hold a gun. 😉

        did you know that house hold cleaning product go through safety measures? many have childproof caps and some are even labeled about how dangerous they are to children. ALSO, most 2 year olds cant buy household cleaners either 😉

        The household item is purely innocent until left open and unattended correct? In that case, is it still the cleaners fault or the parents? Ehhhhh

        Oh I don’t disagree. I’m asking, do you blame the 2A or do you blame the parents? You want individual responsibility or do you want group responsibility and a loss of your rights? Because remember, once you agree to one loss of your rights, others can and probably will follow.

        Why were the two adults in the home not watching the two year old? Why the hell weren't the guns locked up? Poor child...

        "The toddler's parents were not home during the shooting, but 2 adults were at the house at the time (the father's fiancee and a friend). Father's "fiancee"? So, the child (from a previous union?) shot himself, while in the care of the biological father's...fiancee? 🤔-Hm.
