Re: Tragedy and idiocy
I can't wait to hear the NRA's comment:
"This would not have happened if his two-year old sister had had a gun herself."
I guess there are more guns in the USA than braincells.

A step up the ladder of a civilised society
In this discussion it might help to realise that the US has one of the stricktest policies on what is arguably one of the most lethal of mankind's inventions. Yes, anyone can own one or more of them, but in federal law almost any eventuality with regard to the safety issues involved has been dealt with in extensive, one might even say exhaustive regulations. That's probably why in the US the death rate of people falling from ladders has seen a dramatic decrease eversince these regulations were put in place.
O, but wait... this is about guns, isn't it? Sorry, wrong thread. No regulations worth mentioning about guns, I believe.
But anyway, remember: ladders don't kill people, people fall off of them. (Very rarely.)
