Possibly the most retarded anti-gun ad I've ever seen...

But you can not punish the masses because of a few dumb asses. Laws are already in place about child endangerment. But, Darwinism is in effect at times. You can't protect everybody from everything all the time. Can any punishmnt make up for the loss of your child? Those parents have to live with it every day until they die. I'm sure that's punishment enough, wouldn't you think?

The surviving brother has to live with what he did for the rest of his life. He was just being a kid and got the worst possible outcome for his mistake. How is that an acceptable price for "freedom"?

At some point you have to consider when one person's rights invade another person's rights. In this instance, gun rights trampled on both kids rights.

How did gun rights violate the kids rights? Your rights and my rights to gun ownership did not cause that trigger to get pulled.

I agree it's a sad situation for all involved, especially for the parents and the brother. Those parents will be held accountable and have to live with it for the rest of their lives.

But this notion that you can regulate society in to a safe haven is rediculous. You want all Americans to give up their rights and freedoms over one person's dumb ass mistake? I know I don't.

Should we outlaw bath tubs because a child can accidentally drown in them?
Should we outlaw bicycles because a child can accidentally fall and break an arm?
Should we outlaw dirt bikes because a tree might get in the way and cause a crash?
Should we outlaw stoves because a child could touch a hot surface and get burned?

Ands so on?

Are building codes, electrical codes, driving laws, ect all infringements on our freedom? Should I be able to build a piece of shit house and sell it to the next guy and be protected by "freedom" when it falls on the next owner?

Your logic is comparing everyday items with firearms. Firearm are not everyday items laying around the house.

Straw man argument.

Regulating how something is built is not the same as outlawing said item.
Making sure a gun doesn't blow up in your hands is pretty smart don't you think.

And I guess it depends on who's house we're talking about with guns just lying around. To some people, firearms are everyday items.
