Unsecured gun=dead 2 year old

For longer than I can remember every gun my Dad owned was kept in my bedroom (later on I realized it was long guns only).
And from the time I was old enough to understand what they were, I was told that if I wanted to look at, or handle any of them, all I had to do was ask. There was no mystery, or stigma attached, I just had to ask.
As I got older, the same thing applied to other "dangerous " things.
Times are very different now, and from the looks of it, so are parents.

Same thing in my house growing up. These days parents are " To Busy" to raise their children properly.

Agree to a certain point. Not sure that many two year olds, thrn or today, have the cognitive ability to be trusted around a loaded firearm.
 
My parents were also like USMC6094's, I raised my kids the same way. In my youth the firearms were in my closet unloaded. My childrens youth they were in a gun safe. My only loaded firearm was on my person or in my bolted down handgun safe. All they needed to do was ask, there was no mystery. On some weekends we went shooting.

The two year old is a tragedy.
 
well for me growing up, there simply wasn't any gun in the house...when my kids were growing up, there were no guns in my house. now even with no kids (living here, only visiting or doing an over-nighter), they are locked up.

but i still have to ask a question...

why is it that so many stories about guns, good, bad or ugly......show Glock guns..??

why not a revolver..?? or any other brand of gun..????

in the end, the boyfriend and mother will face the music now, as well as they should.
 
"Guns remain the leading cause of death for children in the US."
Cowpies! It is actually automobiles, but that doesn't fit the narrative. Sad story may God hold and protect this child. I would be interested in what Mommy was doing that was so important that she could watch her child. Head stuck up her phone? Looking for "likes"? Watching the idiot box? The only reason they are being prosecuted is because a gun was involved. Had the child drowned in a mop bucket not one word would be said.:mad:

According to the anti-gun fascists, guns are the leading cause of death among children. Despicable how they lie and expect to go unchallenged.

Personally, when I see a "news report" that deliberately mis-states a fact in the lead, I will conclude that the balance of the story is unreliable and should be summarily dismissed.
 
Children have poor impulse control and all the training in the World won't change that.

Research indicates the human brain, specifically the prefrontal cortex, the part of the brain that processes rational thought, doesn't fully develop until approximately 25 years of age.

Granted, some develop earlier some later but in general a juvenile's world is ruled by their amygdala. That's the part of the brain that tells the kid (against all better judgement and training) that it's OK to sneak out of the house and steal dad's car.

Train the kid but lock up the guns.
