If the 5-year-old boy had a gun he could have defended himself from… Oh wait

Wait, I think you’re on to something. This situation could have definitely used more guns, less gun laws and less gun safety measures.

Wow! I love that they gave them a voice last night to directly address the man who still won’t admit they were innocent.

People need to be reminded that Kamala Harris is running against a man who hates her for her skin color.

I’ve said this before: There are a lot of racists in this country who would absolutely deny being racists- People who will talk about how MLK’s dream of black and white kids living together (the only part of that speech they know) is good, but who will also cross the street if a black man is coming toward them. Those people will not be into voting for someone who is overtly racist.

And the evidence of non-citizens voting in U.S. elections in any sort of sizable number is still nil.

Viking_Hippie ,

Yeah, in person voter fraud has happened perhaps a dozen times in the last 50 years and afair it was Republicans trying to vote twice all but two of those times and people knowingly ineligible trying to vote exactly 0 times.

It’s entirely about suppressing POC voters.

Accuse? They need to fucking sue them into oblivion and arrest some of these corrupt immoral assholes. They better have an antitrust & RICO lawsuit ready to go.

God I wish I had a magic baseball bat that would let me bash an understanding of what an “ALGORITHM” actually is into people’s heads. Of course it was algorithmic. It would have been algorithmic if they’d done it using styluses and stone tablets. fucking. Not the point but christ is this the one thing that drives me nuts above all others.

dhork ,

In this case, “algorithmic” really means “shifting responsibility to a computer”.

I had an experience like this earlier this year, when I went to buy a car. There was part of the financing regarding the state Sales Tax that I didn’t understand. When I asked their “finance manager” about it, he said that the computer spit out all the numbers and they pay a lot of money for that software so the numbers must be correct.

I almost stopped the deal right there, but I went home and googled the answer, and they were doing it correctly after all. The deal was pretty good so I still bought the car. Still, it amazes me that businesses don’t feel the need to promote managers who actually understand finance because “the computer does all the hard math”.

dinckelman , in 5-year-old Utah boy dies from accidental, self-inflicted gunshot wound

Would love to hear about how this could have been prevented, by having more guns, and less guns restrictions

Ioughttamow ,

With more guns, the staggering weight of choice paralysis would have stopped this

ASDraptor ,

Easy: if the kid had a gun, he could have threatened the kid with a gun with his gun so the kid with a gun wouldn’t have shot the kid with a gun.

I mean, isn’t it obvious?

Kecessa , in 5-year-old Utah boy dies from accidental, self-inflicted gunshot wound

But it’s ok because people kill people, guns don’t kill people!

It’s a real shame there’s literally nothing else to be done to curb gun deaths in this country. Oh well, guess we tried.

/s not needed, I hope.

We’re locking up those parents, right? At the very least we’re locking up the one who was registered to own and safeguard that firearm, right?

Authorities do not suspect foul play, and investigators are trying to determine how the boy got ahold of the gun.

If you leave a gun you own unsecured such that a child gets it and kills themselves or others, it should be mandatory jail time. How much investigation is really needed here? Did a 5 year old spin the combination lock on a gun safe? Nope.

Hellinabucket ,

I saw people in a thread for a similar case this week arguing that the person who left a gun on a couch with a bunch of kids shouldn’t be held responsible.

This country is fucked.

The sad part is that I believe you saw that. People argue the most garbage positions imaginable and they do it boldly and shamelessly online.
