    This man's upset to hear that toddlers are arming themselves. Things won't be quite as...easy.

    Wayne LaPierre will remind you that the 3-year-old would have stopped this had he been armed too. Because the only thing that stops a bad 6-year-old with a gun is a good 3-year-old with a gun.

    Yup. He said that and also to keep guns loaded and where a 6-year-old can easily have access to it.

    Look guys. This is just the price of freedom.
    Go outside. Take a deep breath. You smell that? That's freedom.
    Sure, it's kinda sad that a three-year-old died or whatever but, guys, we have to protect a 230-year sentence here.
    #Freedom.

    You'd think that at some point the NRA would want to position themselves by their actions as the group that truly wants to ensure that everyone who wants a gun can have one but only if they are adequately trained, are not obviously someone who should not be purchasing a gun at this time and have the proper resources and equipment to keep it safely out of the hands of kids.

    You buy a $1 goldfish at the pet store and you spend $100 on a fish tank, filters, cleaners, etc.

    You buy a handgun, and if you don't feel like buying a safe to store it or a trigger lock or whatever, that's cool.

    I think that's an empty liquor bottle in the middle. That means Obama is planning on reinstating Prohibition!

    Duh. That's where he plans to store them once he finally does it.

    Really, guys, we're missing the big question. Where was the father? Shouldn't he have had his gun in his hands ready to shoot the 6-year-old before he could fire upon the 3-year-old? Maybe that will be our next talking point -- parents should be armed at all times.

    I once shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die
