SHOULD YOUNG CHILDREN HANDLE FIREARMS LIKE UZIS?
According to the article above, the State of Connecticut adopted a new
gun regulation because of the "dumbass" death of Christopher Bizilj.
Good on Conn ... What about the rest of us? Are we learning yet?
... oooOO}{OOooo ...
Part of being smart is knowing what you're dumb at.
Has Connecticut outlawed driving a lethal weapon while talking or texting on phone? They had the worst drivers last year that I saw, everybody texting. How many more homicides while texting will they allow before protecting the citizenry?

The NRA decided to keep it classy, as always. After the shooting, their "NRA Women" group tweeted out "7 Ways Children Can Have Fun at the Shooting Range."
Keep it classy, NRA.

Are you suggesting that guns should be every bit as regulated as automobiles?
I agree with that. When do you suggest we should start implementing this plan? Licenses, registration, insurance, heavy fines and/or imprisonment for operating a firearm while intoxicated, loss of license/rights to firearms for certain acts, no operating firearms until you turn 16, complete a firearms-education course, etc.
That actually sounds like a really good plan. Can I credit you with that when I send it to my legislator? (He's a dem, so I'm pretty sure he'll go for it!)

Gun Rights Advocates Please explain ... Kid + Uzi = Bad Accident.
So my reply here is fully off topic. But if Gun Rights Advocates do explain
it, as Anthony did above, they should not text while driving to do so.
In my personal opinion, Yes! guns should be every bit as regulated as
automobiles.
Gun violence in the United States
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_violence_in_the_United_States
In 2009, according to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, 67% of all homicides in the U.S. were conducted using a firearm. According to the FBI, in 2012, there were 8,855 total firearm-related homicides in the US, with 6,371 of those attributed to handguns. 61% of all gun-related deaths in the U.S. are suicides.

ear
In 2010, there were an estimated 5,419,000 crashes (30,296 fatal crashes), killing 32,999 and injuring 2,239,000.
CDC - Distracted Driving
http://www.cdc.gov/motorvehiclesafety/distracted_driving/
In 2011, 3,331 people were killed in crashes involving a distracted driver, compared to 3,267 in 2010. An additional, 387,000 people were injured in motor vehicle crashes involving a distracted driver in 2011, compared to 416,000 people injured in 2010.1
In 2010, nearly one in five crashes (18%) in which someone was injured involved distracted driving
[Note: Distracted Driving includes visual, manual & mental distractions.
And apparently, the talking-texting-emailing danger is world wide.]

Those facts are from 4 years ago, when the roads were far safer, and these dangerous practices were far less prevalent.
Yes, the danger is worldwide, but the places which have outlawed it have made attempts to remove that hazard from the public roadways.

NRA President Wayne LaPierre says that Hollywood violence in movies and video games is really to blame.
I wonder if anyone has told him that Japan plays more violent video games than the U.S. does.

Looks like Jewel forgot to use the [sarcasm][/sarcasm]tags so you wouldn't be confused.
the response should actually look like this:
