Again, it is common sense. Had she had it properly secured, her son would not have been able to get it, thus nothing happens. Or is that to simple for you to understand. Maybe you do not know what properly secured means? If her sons were able to get thier hands on it without her knowledge and get the ammo also, then it was not PROPERLY SECURED.

Or even better, taught her sons gun safety. Properly trained, they wouldn't have treated it like a toy.

gun safety and education will do more to save lives.

I thought the same thing about the conspiracy nuts that tried to insinuate that the Sandy Hook massacre was a "conspiracy" and all those grieving parents were "actors"...(Right before I put the offending $#*% on IGNORE.) I didn't see any comments from the right about "tasteless political points" then....

Why don't you explain to me again how that is acceptable and this is not?

And 3 million firearms have been sold since Newtown because people thought they had to buy them before they were banned. How much more blood does Obama have on his hands for encouraging the biggest gun buying period in US history? Unintended consequences possibly, but he should have realized what his words would do.

:faint:

Yeah, Obama probably thought the right wingers were a whole lot smarter than they turned out to be.....his bad.

He should have known that all the panic-buying by the Bubba-constituency would make the manufacturers and store-owners richer...(While not making anybody any safer.)

You didn't read that thread very closely then.

I went back and re-read it...I saw one comment from you on Page-3...I saw nothing else from the rest of the ********-crowd but acceptance that it was probably a hoax.

My comment stands. The ol' "Well, *I* never said that" doesn't carry any weight with me when the rest of the teabaggers are piling on.

Not all conservatives are tea partiers LadyJazzer.
