Here’s What Happened While The NRA Told Parents Not To Lock Up Their Guns

The most recent round of ricin letters has pushed gun control back into the national news, but the past month has offered ample gun news that the national media has ignored. May was the deadliest month for children since Newtown, and in a continuation of a horrific trend, there were shootings by children as young as two years old, of children as young as two. Despite the mounting body count, no one has asked the National Rifle Association why they tell parents not to lock up their guns, or even reported that the NRA tells parents not to lock up their guns.

1. Oh, yes, but as posters here keep on reassuring us,

those children killed are only a tiny percentage of our children/

God Damn them all too Hell. Even one child is too many. I am so sick of the gun apologists saying it's all okay. Let's just go out and kill all of them, and maybe all of their children, too. Then will they say this is okay?

4. That's basically what the gun apologists say.

They keep on saying that those killed by gun violence are only a trivial percentage of the population. While they don't say so directly, one can only infer that it's okay if their own loved ones are in that trivial percentage.

I am yet to see a gun supporter be swayed by the gun death of a loved one, so I can only conclude for that those people, the are perfectly okay with their own children or mothers, or sisters, or brothers being killed by gun violence.

Personally, I think that all gun deaths are preventable, but apparently I have no idea what I'm talking about.

2. They just don't want to infringe on the rights of those toddlers to bear arms
