Yuppers. By the way, I saw an interesting Canadian article (yes, good old liberal Canaduh) stating quite bluntly that more kids are killed playing football than are killed by guns.
Why is no one clamoring to outlaw football?
Just looking for some perspective on a really shitty situation...

That's probably true in Canada where they have very few gun deaths. In the US, it's quite the opposite. Think drive-bys and gangs.
On a cyncial note: could this be a Darwin Award by proxy ?

Nope - kid would've had to shoot the dad for that to work.

Arizona nine-year old in Uzi gun lesson accident
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-28948946
"A nine year-old girl in the US has killed her shooting instructor by
accident while being shown how to use a high-powered submachine gun."
My best guess: We ain't ever gonna learn better about this.

Why revive a thread nearly 6 years old????
Original post October, 2006.
What, real world CURRENT events not interesting enough for ya?
The narrative of the day, that being the REALITY of national and global politics got ya down, so you have to revert back to " better days " ?
I guess we should outlaw swimming pools and lakes too, while we're at it.
Overview
Every day, about ten people die from unintentional drowning. Of these, two are children aged 14 or younger. Drowning ranks fifth among the leading causes of unintentional injury death in the United States.1
How big is the problem?
From 2005-2009, there were an average of 3,533 fatal unintentional drownings (non-boating related) annually in the United States — about ten deaths per day. An additional 347 people died each year from drowning in boating-related incidents.2
About one in five people who die from drowning are children 14 and younger.2 For every child who dies from drowning, another five receive emergency department care for nonfatal submersion injuries.1
More than 50% of drowning victims treated in emergency departments (EDs) require hospitalization or transfer for further care (compared with a hospitalization rate of about 6% for all unintentional injuries).1,2 These nonfatal drowning injuries can cause severe brain damage that may result in long-term disabilities such as memory problems, learning disabilities, and permanent loss of basic functioning (e.g., permanent vegetative state).3,4

She can drag up any damn threads she wants to, are you the thread monitor???
On the subject at hand...There are things people who care about their kids do, and people who only care about their bragging rights do.
Things to NOT do:
Have a pool and a toddler
Have weapons openly in reach of anything under 12
Have a pit or a rottie for a babysitter
Leave your small child unattended anywhere near a car
These four things will get them dead faster than all the other things combined.
There was one line from Judging Amy that has always stuck with me
"You must be this tall---- to ride"
If you cannot abide by these principles, your priority isn't your child- it's your own vanity.
