Instant Karma - Gun Rights Advocate Shot by Son

Post by _Some Schmo »

It is impossible to feel sorry for this woman.

The gun advocates always talk about personal responsibility. If this is what they mean, we need more gun control. The gun was on the car floor and the kid wasn't strapped into his car seat. I saw someone make the comment, "let her keep the gun but take away her kid." No matter what, she shouldn't be allowed to keep both.

I wonder what she'll say when she is released from the hospital.
God belief is for people who don't want to live life on the universe's terms.

Freaking insanity. That's where child neglect and irresponsible gun ownership will get you!

Whenever folks say that they have the God-given right to protect themselves, I can't help but think how much safer they would be without guns.
It’s relatively easy to agree that only Homo sapiens can speak about things that don’t really exist, and believe six impossible things before breakfast. You could never convince a monkey to give you a banana by promising him limitless bananas after death in monkey heaven.

Toddlers (of US...) are taught by their environment, that one should shoot others. Even their mothers.

Playmates, neighbours, father's (mother's) friends, passers, anybody.

An ill society, I can say.

- So, when someone get's in a Car Accident..... it's "Karma" and Darwin?
- When someone climbs a tree and falls, it's Karma.
- When someone uses a power tool or knife and cuts off their finger, it's Karma.
- When someone drives a tractor and runs over their young child's head, it's Karma. (happened to my neighbor when I was a kid)

Yes.... you all show how morally and intellectually corrupt you are.
I have no idea why this well educated woman did something so stupid, but as YOU ALL KNOW very well, no matter how much you prepare and try to do what's smart and right, ACCIDENTS STILL HAPPEN. It's called being human.
So, mock all you want about Karma and Darwin, but guess what, it's called LIFE...!

Fools.

See above idiot.... Safety is for the morally, intellectually and physically lazy.
If you want total safety.... then stop living. For every family member shot there's at least 5-10 times more crimes stopped because a gun was used in some form, shown, fired, or otherwise.
I'm sure the some Billions of innocents murdered by Mao, Stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot, and many others had "wished" they had a gun to defend themselves.
For every Construction death, there's hundreds of homes and buildings built.
For every Sports death, there's hundreds of games.
For every Knife death or finger cut off there's hundreds of safe uses.

Come to reality and truth for a change.
