I bet that was an illegally obtained gun... no amount of gun control would have prevented this.

Too many cars too killing people too. Should we outlaw cars? Renaissance November 5, 2012 2:21 p.m. Report abuse

That's a false equivalency. Cars certainly serve a purpose other than hurting/injuring/killing someone. Guns are tool used specifically for that reason.

I am praying for you Mom and your family. I had one son in my Sunday School class whom was the perfect example of a well behaved child. Emily will be missed by all. Love you.

Yeap, and stupidity. We need to ban that too. And people who do idiotic things for no rational reason.

Let's see, what else?

Folks, the car analogy is not valid for the 100th time! A cars purpose is to transport. Accidents and deaths do occur as an ancillary risk to the use of cars. Guns are designed to kill humans and animals (and shoot at stuff for fun, yeehaa). They have NO NO NO other purpose. It is whay they are called lethal weapons-to kill. A car could be used lethally, but, it is not defined as a weapon. Alcohol, fat foods, smoking etc are all choices of things that have other uses. Their INTENDED use is not to KILL!!! Sheesh...

You may be shock to know how many homes have loaded guns, pistols, shot guns laying around their homes and not locked or lock up. That is indeed sad waiting for tragedy to happen.

Alcohol. Don't forget alcohol. We need to ban that to.

CARS AND ALCOHOL IS NOT THE CAUSE. ITS THE "PEOPLE" OR "PERSON" THAT IS DRIVING THE CARS AND ABUSING THE ALCOHOL. ANY MORE EXCUSES?

Just wondering how the 15 year old feels now that he has been told that she died? Now he know he should not have had that loaded gun in his hand pulling the trigger.
