Today yet another saddening story about guns was released in the New York Times. A two-year-old boy lost his mother by accidentally shooting her with the gun he found in her purse. They were shopping at a local Walmart in Idaho when the boy reached over and got a hold of his mother’s gun from her purse. He then discharged it in what appears to have been an accident.
This is yet another case in the frequent ones of this type that occur every few weeks in America. These “accidental” deaths are far from accidental, because clearly there are many people with their own agendas participating in the death. The woman’s ownership of the gun was legal – therefore, there are the people who issued her the permit. Then there’s the people who sell the guns – for profit, of course. The question is, is the American government doing anything about these murders, or are they just casually dismissing them as “accidental deaths”?

Why didn’t she watch her purse more carefully, knowing there was a gun in it?
Here’s my question, because I don’t see the point of this post besides being some very passive aggression to gun ownership: What do YOU thi
