Too bad I'm not able to be so cool with only my iPad mini at hand. technically, I could go all pic crazy and report this as sexual innuendo, but I know I'd be laughed at, I'm just a fossil.

HA. HA.

Say what?

Sonny and Cher didn't know the trees from the forest.

Bush league.

Poster Ckildren for the new age of reason.

My point is we shouldn't allow politicians to play with dangerous weapons like governments without responsible supervision and legal liability for ignoring laws, courts, voters, and citizen's rights.

"Statistically, Utahns are more likely to die from a bullet than a car crash — and the gap between the two causes of death has grown in recent years."

Ok.

Ok.

Maybe because of more driving restrictions like the seat belt law.
So restrictions are not always bad?
:^O

If she's not suicidal at a moment like this she is a sad excuse for a mother. GF is correct that her actions should be considered criminal. Saying that you didn't know what you were shooting at should never be a legitimate defense. If you make the decision to use deadly force you must take full responsibility for whatever/whoever you happen to kill. If they weren't presenting a mortal threat then it's murder.

Unless of course you're a law enforcement officer, then feel free to blaze away without worry, unless of course you're captured on video doing it, but even then there's a very good chance you'll escape any responsibility for it.

There is no requirement to defend your home with a gun, no matter what your age. If you are too frail to handle one, it is probably not a good choice to have one. GFs rules seemed reasonable to me. The same is true with 80 year old ladies driving cars. At some point most of them have their licenses revoked because they cannot safely operate a vehicle.

Taking away my mother's car keys was gut wrenching. She protested and cried--to her, it represented the loss of her independence. But, she was a public risk and we could not live with ourselves if, as was likely, she ended up hurting herself or someone else because she could not longer operate a car safely.

We have courses and tests to pass before driving.

Why shouldn't guns be any different?

the second part of the second amendment talks about REGULATION. The NRA and idiotic conservative Supreme Court doesn't want you to know this inconvenient detail.

Well, one reason they are different is that driving a car is not a widely-recognized Constitutional Right, whereas gun ownership is.
