Read some history. There are lots of people who have done this, and would do this sort of thing.

What else do you think we're going to learn here?

How to be sensitive and non-judgmental?

So how was this resolved? Did you retrieve the pistol and secure it? Sure did, it's in my truck right now. Can always use another .45! Sometimes two wrongs does make a right. In reality I kept an eye out for the parents kids since they were unwilling to do so while I was there. They actually tried ...

Tragedy gnome or expletive excuse for a father murdered his son. I don't think a majority would agree with you, given the choices available. Who exactly are you judging, board members who have posted in this thread, or the board members who have not posted? If you have something to add, go ahead an...

Sounds like the story was completely butchered by the news sources you're referencing: The unnamed owner of the gun has left the valuable artifact at the police station for safe keeping. “We did not take the gun in for the gun buy-back program,” Crabtree said. “If we took it as part of the buy-back,...

From what I've been able to ascertain there are two main schools of thought: A) The Judge Not Lest Ye Be Judged! sort of folks... The tragedy gnome caused the firearm to blow away the child. Our sympathies should go out to the family and the poor father who happened to be holding the gun. Human bein...

If anyone needs locks for their firearms I have plenty available if your unable to afford or find an adequate one. The frontiersman and the police also said they'll provide free locks.

Too bad it didn't turn out like this:

This is a parent's worst nightmare and any parent can tell you that you don't get a manual to care for your children. You are correct the firearm should have been better secured maybe if they had it in a safe or maybe if they had it unloaded or maybe if they didn't have a firearm in the home but ma...

No one is saying that you should not take reasonable measures to prevent such tragedies. The problem is, an oversight was made, and that sort of mistake can happen to anyone! Yes, there are consequences for our actions or inaction, but at the same time I believe this family has suffered the worst p...

Guess what you **** piece of ****. You don't know me and you don't know what kind of parent I am. You also don't know what kind of firearms owner I am. There are a lot of similarities between raising kids and firearms. Then again I'm a bad parent that doesn't know as much as you so I'll shut up. Gu...

Seriously, being a jackass behind a keyboard is not volunteering. Oh and teach away, a childless person always knows more about raising kids then someone that has kids. Seriously, you're not a good parent just because you have kids. Oh, and if your can't differentiate between being a responsible fi...
