MasterObee , in 3-year-old accidentally shoots, kills 1-year-old sibling after getting ahold of unsecured handgun: SDSO

Trigger locks are not hard to get and are inexpensive.

I’m iffy on more gun control, but if there is something I’d want to do, it’d be requiring businesses to provide a trigger lock with each sale.

…it’d be requiring businesses to provide a trigger lock with each sale.

Pretty much is in the State of California. This is yet another instance of someone not following the basic god damned rules of firearm safety.

BrianTheeBiscuiteer ,

You can only do so much to encourage gun safety, but when you get to this point I think it’s only fitting to charge the gun owner with a felony and forbid them from ever owning a firearm again.

TIEPilot ,

Reputable gun shops provide them free of charge w/ every sale.

The average American is too dumb to own guns and I say this from a household with several guns. Seriously would rather not have them if that means idiots and the mentally unstable don’t either.

Who is smart enough to own guns then? Solely the government?

I’m pretty sure that’s already a law.

pedro ,

With a 3 year old, even just emptying the gun would have been effective. Or putting it in heights

borkcorkedforks ,

Every gun I've bought came with a cable lock. They are a waste though as would be a required trigger lock. I prefer different and more reliable storage methods.

And just because something came in the box doesn't mean it is going to be used correctly. Especially if someone doesn't like that way of securing a firearm. A better way is probably just some PSAs and tax breaks for security/storage devices to encourage proper storage. If there are going to be these things in every box give me a way to return them or something.

I love that they find a slide that dropped out of a plane, then shortly after they find a plane that’s missing its slide, and they say “it appears to be the slide in question.” Yeah, I’d say that’s a pretty good bet.

SheeEttin ,

I’m almost certain that any part large enough to be serialized is, so that it can be traced back to manufacture. They could definitely tell which plane that came from, and the serial number(s) of the missing slide. Bet you $5 they’re the same. (And any parts too small to be serialized are recorded in maintenance logs or something, and can still be traced.)

    Is this a serious reply?

    “Who from society” would be people like the child’s teachers, counselors, friends, relatives, mentors, etc.

    Funny you mention red-herrings and extremes and then go on to talk about how we’ll all be living under a Saudi-like dictatorship if teachers don’t snitch on kids to their parents about something like personal identity.

    PenguinJuice ,

    No. Absolutely fucking not. Full stop. My child, my choices. Period. End of story? Don't like it? Pound sand.

    CmdrShepard ,

    No it’s “absolutely fucking not” a serious reply? I suspected as much.

    When people have conversations involving making decisions concerning my child on my behalf, the actual reply is much more violent.

    Good for you I guess? How many times has that landed you in jail so far?

    This only appears to just be ramping up now. I really do think this is not a policy that any political party should be pushing, lest they find themselves the target of like minded people like myself. People wonder why homeschooling is becoming more prevalent. It's shit like this.

    This only appears to be ramping up now is my response to you saying how many times has it landed you in jail. I admit the nuance of conversation can sometimes not translate to written message very well.

    My response to OP was that I'm not even open to conversation when it comes to my child. No one is invited to deliberate on my child's life or the decisions I make raising them.

    You mean by “outing”, involving parents in the decisions that can permanently alter their lives?

    Yeah, no.

    Wyvven ,

    What permanent decisions can the child make as a minor

    CmdrShepard ,

    What decisions exactly? And if you so desperate to be involved in your child’s life, why do you need to rely on a third party to inform you about your own child?

    Thurgo ,

    Are you trolling? Questioning your sexuality does not make any permanent alterations. They are thoughts. In your mind.

    CmdrShepard ,

    What does this have to do with “parents making decisions about their children?” What decision are they being deprived of if a teacher doesn’t report everything a child expresses at school to the parent?

    For a parallel, what if the law was instead about race rather than gender? “Teachers must report white children expressing interest in talking to black children”

    You: “Well what’s wrong with that? It’s muh right!”

    x3n0s ,

    By your logic, minors wouldn’t be allowed to confide in anyone they trust unless it’s their parents.

    Or nobody at all if they don’t trust their parents.

    Naia ,

    Kids are not property. They are their own people and whether you like it or not they can be gay or trans. You can’t beat them out of being queer.

    If your kid doesn’t feel safe telling you who they are the that’s on you.

    TheQuantumPhysicist ,

    Except that in many circumstances they get influenced to think they’re trans, and then you want your benevolent teachers to authorize cutting their junk and destroying their future just because they like pink.

    And this is absolutely not an exaggeration. Don’t bullshit a bullshitter. Your issue is that you defend an ideal principle to do something extreme. Plausible deniability. Never gonna happen. People will never trust you until you stop treating trans as a protected class and more treat them like responsible adults. I’ve seen enough.

    DrPop ,

    I don’t understand how you have reached this conclusion. As someone who is a member of the trans community none of these decisions you talked about are made lightly. I understand as a parent wanting to know what is going on with your child but the child’s mental state should be priority above anytime else. No one in the trans community wants convince anyone they are trans. That is something they must find on their own.

    TheQuantumPhysicist ,

    “No one in the trans community wants to convince anyone they’re trans”.

    That’s the part where you’re either lying or simply wrong. This is so prevalent it’s nuts. Want examples? See Lauren Southern videos about Sarah and the teacher. Links below. Tim Pool also gives examples on grooming all the time.

    This might surprise you, but we’re not stupid. We know what’s going on, and plausible deniability isn’t gonna cut it anymore. I’d die before anything bad touches my children.

    DrPop ,

    I’m sorry, but I gave that video am honest listen and still can’t understand how this relates to what I’m saying. There may be instances of these incidents happening and they should be dealt with on a case by case basis. But this is an overreach of the child’s privacy which is why we’re here. One of the first thing young women victims of sexual assault say is “don’t tell me dad,” for fear of what that would mean for them at home. If a child says they’ve been having feelings that they don’t understand themselves yet and they don’t want to have their parents know, they have a reason. Not every home is safe and something like this will lead to children killing themselves. Not every parent can be trusted to make that decision to do what’s best in these situations, so we must create institutions that can at least recognize when that is necessary for the safety of the child. We are not advocating for parents to not be a part of the discussion. We want the safety of every child to be considered in this decision.

    We have the same goal here of safety for children. Let’s tackle grooming wherever it is, but this won’t make the situation any better for the children who need this safety. This won’t work the way you believe it will, and we have evidence. I have way too much going on in my life at the moment to do a real deep dive to get the information you need. But I’m hopeful we can make this country better for everyone.

    That is very valid. And I understand why you’d want to know anytime you can do to help your child. A hardline approach isn’t the way though. Coming out is a very personal experience and as long as your doing your job as a parent they should be willing to do that when they are ready. Another part of being a parent is allowing your child to grow no matter what that means. Instead of a beautiful tree that can provide happiness and joy for themselves and everyone around them as well, they may end up as a sad houseplant in a pot that’s too small. At the end of the day I think we have two different philosophies on life and being parents but we can find something that is more beneficial than harmful, and from a personal place this is going to have terrible consequences.

    dan1101 , in AAA pulls back from offering insurance in Florida, following Farmers

    Even CBS does clickbait now. First sentence in article:

    <pre style="background-color:#ffffff;">
    <span style="color:#323232;">AAA will not renew the auto and home insurance policies for some customers in Florida, joining a growing list of insurers dialing back their presence in the Sunshine State amid a growing risk of natural disasters.
    </span>
    

    Some customers. Will that be dozens, thousands, millions?

    Corran1138 ,

    I bet even they don’t know the specific number. But certain conditions like being in a hurricane-prone area or zones not performing the maintenance on structures that help deal with natural disasters would probably cause those people to no longer be insurable as it predictable that they would pay out more money to more people when things go sideways. This is information for their stockholders, so they don’t get sued for not maximizing profit.

    givesomefucks ,

    People call landlords parasites, and they are.

    But the entire bonds industry is bullshit.

    If someone is going to skip, they pay the 10% to a bondsman. So overtime bonds increased to 10x what they should be. Except now you don’t get anything back.

    For most Americans it’s a flat fee to get out of jail.

    Especially with how long cases go, not many can afford to wait a year for that money to come back after trial. Or to spend the year in jail waiting.

    Insurance companies are about the purest form of capitalism around. If they aren’t making money, they aren’t going to participate. This is going to be a problem for California, Florida, Louisiana, and places in the Mountain West.

    Cash bail does not work. My dad has a friend who got caught for raping kids. His bail was $2 million. The parents paid the 10% up front. The guy was put u set house arrest. He always needed to be watched. No kids anywhere near him. During the sentencing of the trial this child rapist ran off out of the country.

    jennwiththesea ,

    The options are not cash bail or nothing. If someone is considered a flight risk or a danger to society, they can be held until trial. Sounds like the judge made the wrong choice in this case.

    QHC ,

    Do you think that before this ruling, someone that could successfully bribe a judge wasn’t getting special treatment?
