The Land Of The Gun

Another tragedy involving a gun and a 8 year old child happened yesterday at a Gun Fair in Westfield, MA. You know what's completely messed up about this is that there are people out there who, on one hand, are morning and saying it so sad, so tragic, this boy had to die in such a horrible accident. And then you can ask these same people who are morning the loss of this boy if there should be some kind of control on gun fairs and guns in general....well they would probably tell you "you can't take my 20 guns away, my right to bare arms is in the Constitution".

3,012 children and teens killed by gunfire in the United States per year (that is one every 3 hours). If an infant toy is found to cause death or injuries to infants, the company issues a recall and pulls the toy from the shelf. We blame the toy. But in the case of guns, the gun is never to blame. That's messed up.
