I dont get the hostility when it comes to firearms... I don't own a gun, nor am I a member of the NRA.

I am saddened that a child died... It doesnt matter what gun the child was holding, accident this could have ocurred with a pistol.

This child died due to a SERIOUS lapse in judgement on the part of the childs father... no doubt a horror he will live with for the rest of his life.

I am am a FIRM believer in the Constitution, and the 2nd Amendment is a key provision! The right to bear arms was important enough to our founding fathers as to be listed #2, right behind life, liberty & the pursuit of happiness! The 2nd Amendment prevents an oppressive tyrannical government, allows people to defend thier homes and themselves from criminals. I have no problem with the Brady Bill or backround checks. People who buy guns legally are not the problem...

On a completely different note...

Did you guys check out the current pricing of these automatic weapons? YIKES! $19K for an M-16, MP-5 etc! Its not the poor folk who own these weapons...
