Second Amendment rights exercised in Sarasota

[Dick Whitman]

Father accidentally shoots and kills 14-year-old son at gun range.

Sarasota father who accidentally shot his son: 'The gun didn't kill my boy. I did.’

Owning a gun is a Second Amendment right. Killing someone with a gun is not.

Thx.

 

[TheSportsPredictor]

Thx.

You're welcome.

You should start a thread with this same headline about a person who owns a gun. Not a person who shoots another. It's disingenuous. Of course, that's your thing, being a lawyer and all.

Lock up the shooter.

What if the kid had been killed in a car accident on the way to the shooting range. Would we have had the same thread (and title)?

Well, no, because then the guy would have actually been exercising his Second Amendment rights.

Will Dickie's Second Amendment rights threads exceed his Hall Of Fame threads?

I like when you guys call me "Dickie" as if that's my real name and it's going to hurt my feelings.

Lots of sick burns on this thread.

Sorry Richard.

If this guy had been distracted and rear-ended someone on the highway and killed that person, he could have been charged with a crime and/or forced to pay a civil settlement.

But we see people every day mishandling firearms or shooting someone who seemed threatening and no charges! Sorry. Don't see the reverance for firearms misuse.

It's real to us, dammit.

And cars, unlike guns, are not designed for the sole purpose of killing.

It's more upsetting when people mishandle email.

Just as would have been the case had this guy been involved in an accident with a handgun.

This. was. an. accident.

Doesn't seem different than what Omar Mateen did, to me. He pointed the gun at someone, shot him, and killed him.

Well, you don't have my deep insights into the matter.

Just saying that people don't seem to be held legally responsible for gun accidents that lead to death or injury like they do other types of accidents.

Saw recently where a semi driver was distracted by his phone and ran into a car in front of him killing two people. I think he was sentencted to 30 years.

That was a straight-up accident as well.

If the kid had been armed, this might have been prevented.

More guns, not fewer.
