Thinking Canadians end government waste<\/strong><\/a>
\nBy ending long-gun registration. From John Lott,<\/p>\n

Despite spending a whopping $2.7 billion on creating and running a long-gun registry, Canadians never reaped any benefits from the project. … Even though the country started registering long guns in 1998, the registry never solved a single murder. Instead it has been an enormous waste of police officers\u2019 time, diverting their efforts from patrolling Canadian streets and doing traditional policing activities.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Non-thinking gun-control advocate San Francisco Sheriff arrested for domestic violence<\/strong><\/a>
\nAND he surrenders over 3 of his handguns. From David Codrea,<\/p>\n

\u201cAlthough San Francisco Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi was a strong advocate of gun control while on the Board of Supervisors, he surrendered 3 handguns when police recently booked him on misdemeanor domestic violence charges,\u201d KCBS reports.<\/p>\n

No! 4 year-old shoots his 3 year-old brother to death<\/strong><\/a>
\nGun Safety. Gun Safety. Gun Safety. From KDFW,<\/p>\n

\n

Police say the woman had put the handgun on top of a chest of drawers, thinking the weapon was out of the children’s reach.<\/p>\n

Police say the 4-year-old boy managed to get the gun and shoot his little brother.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Have a firearm and have kids? Then you make sure that the firearm is secured at ALL times (which either means locked away or secured on your person). Kids WILL find a way to the firearm. Also, you teach children about firearms – especially the kid’s rules of gun safety if they happen across an unattended firearm:\u00a0 STOP! Don’t touch! Leave the room! Tell an adult!\n<\/p>\n

ND = Negligent Discharge. In this case, deadly.<\/strong><\/a>
\nFrom FoxNews,<\/p>\n

Authorities say a Florida pastor’s daughter who was accidentally shot in the head in a church died Saturday at a hospital.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The round came from a gun owned by a CCW carrier in the church. From the article (emphasis added),<\/p>\n

Investigators have said Moises Zambrana was showing his gun in a small closet to another church member interested in buying a firearm. The St. Petersburg Times reports that the other church member, Dustin Bueller, was Hannah Kelley’s fiancee.<\/p>\n

Zambrana reportedly removed the magazine from the Ruger 9mm weapon but did not know that a round was still in the chamber. The gun went off<\/strong>, firing a bullet through a wall. Kelley was struck in the head.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Guns don’t just go off. The firing pin or hammer of the handgun must strike the chambered cartridge and that happens when the trigger is pressed, either by one’s finger or by any object that is situated inside the trigger guard.\n<\/p>\n
