A 2 year old boy who lives in South Carolina shot his grandmother.
He was riding with his grandmother and found a gun in the car. His grandmother was driving her sister’s car. The police still are investigating. They may press charges to the woman’s sister. Luckily the grandmother is still alive. The police didn’t mention any names.
The grandmother’s sister said this “I own a gun, I live alone, travel alone, I am vulnerable; that’s why I have my weapon in an accessible position. I have a two-door car — I don’t carry children in my car, ever”.
This problem related to guns is affecting our country daily. In this democratic republic that values life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness we live daily in danger from guns. Guns shouldn’t be allow to be carried so freely bu our citizens. Freedom is beautiful but some people take this to another level. More guns = more deaths by gun but some people act as if more guns = more security and freedom.
All this daily death by guns would be easy to avoid if guns were not legal or at least if they were more closely regulated like the way we regulate other things such as automobiles. When children freely get their hands on guns that is due to the irresponsibility of their owners and too much freedom on the regulation of these deadly tools. If only the police would have guns for the reason that they are the only ones who need them to work then society would be safer but those who disagree are scared of the power of police and the government. Guns are just taking life away.

I agree with you on the fact that guns should be regulated, but i disagree with you when it comes to making it illegal and that only cops and certain authority should. There are crazy people in the world. It for protection. Its the regulation of the guns that is the problem.

I agree that gun regulation would be a great contribution to the evolution and well being of the country as a whole. Protection is necessary for some, but in my opinion, there should be laws that require gun owners to secure their weapons so that they don’t pose a threat to others.

I also agree that there should should be better gun regulations. There are way to many people who abuse there rights when it comes to guns. Just like people who do mass shootings kill innocent people. There is to many deaths due to people abusing there rights of owning a gun and there should really be something done about it.

I think that the parents or guardians of the child should of been more cautious and aware. A gun is very dangerous and should have been put away in a locked box away from the child’s reach. I think the grandmothers sister should be charged with criminal negligence of a child because if the grandmother or the child was killed it would have been her fault for not putting away her weapon. With a lot of the killing and gun related deaths that our countries I think people should be more responsible with there weapons because they could hurt innocent people
