MOTHER'S DAY SCARRED BY CHILDREN GUN DEATHS

We can thank the National Rifle Assn. for bloodying an otherwise joyous Mother's Day for some who have either lost or had their kids maimed by guns. Yes, the NRA refuses to allow simple methods to stop this violence like background checks and the banning of assault weapons that have been used in many of the massacres on children. Another primary reason is irresponsible parents who don't secure their guns so the children can't play with them and kill themselves. The problem of unsecured guns is significant and was highlighted recently when a child found a loaded gun in House Speaker John Boehner's office. Everytown for Gun Safety and Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America announced "there have been at least 80 unintentional shootings involving children, resulting in 57 injuries and 24 deaths since January 1, 2015. In many cases the parents are not charged and they very well should be. It's useless to say there are too many guns out there in the wrong hands because the American public continues to allow the NRA and Congress to proliferate more on the streets. Until you realize what you are doing, there will just be more bloody Mother's Days.

They'll be here to tell you that child death due to guns are down and so nothing to see here. Any number of child deaths is acceptable to a gunner. Their motto is, "Your dead kids don't trump my rights!!!!" And they laugh in threads on stories of dead children. They don't give a damn.

Even called the poster on it and he did not take the opportunity to edit.

So, there you go. Dead kids & smilies.

Which isn't true at all, but you're not honest enough to clarify, so there you have it.

There is no fucking excuse for it. He thought he was being quite arch, but instead he was being disgusting. You might think it's appropriate, but most people with compassion and a conscience don't. IT'S NOT APPROPRIATE. Get it?

not about a little girl killed due to negligence.
Your trying to make it sound like he was laughing about the death of a little girl IS NOT APPROPRIATE.
Get it?

...DU doesn't offer a 'pointing and laughing' smiley.
That would have made it more obvious that I was laughing at your choice of a 20 year old discredited study.
