The Republican-controlled Arizona House of Representatives has voted to repeal the state's gun-free school zone laws, setting up a potential battle that only Gov. Jan Brewer (R) may be able to stop.
Just a few stories on gun accidents.
Just some random headlines of tragic accidents. They are called accidents because they are not "planned". How many kids will die before people stop thinking they need to carry guns everywhere...like schools...and bars...
A 12-year-old boy accidently shot and killed another 12-year-old boy in a Wilton home on Wednesday, the Saratoga County Sheriff’s Office announced.
This week, an 8-year-old boy accidentally shot and killed his 2-year-old sister in California.
Gun Accidents Kill 500 Kids Each Year.
Boy, 10, accidentally kills brother with father's gun.
8 year old boy accidentally shoots and kills himself.
A Placer County Deputy Sheriff's is dead after being shot with her father's gun. 3- year-old Kalli Skogen died Tuesday from a gunshot to the head.
Royersford boy, 4, killed self with father's gun, coroner says.
Boy, 8, accidentally kills self at gun show.
A four-year-old boy was playing with his father's gun and killed a young woman.
Child Kills Father.
I tried to find some stories about how a person with a gun saved a person’s life or prevented a death. I tried but failed. I know that they must exist but how often does a gun prevent a death? I honestly don’t know.
It seems ludicrous to me not to equate gun deaths and gun violence, in America, with the number of guns we have. If school children are in danger than we need to pay for an officer to be on patrol in our schools. There is no need to allow the untrained average person to carry a weapon to a school, school function, or a sporting event. My niece had to testify in a murder case that happened in a Cleveland parking lot. Two men were arguing over a parking space and retrieved guns from their car. One man shot and killed the attendant. My niece had her 12 yr. old son in the car. Do we really want to live in a country that allows people to carry dangerous weapons wherever they go?
