    Not quite. I attended a number of schools at different times, including UC. Both my kids went to UC Berkley. The School became an entirely different place in the 25 - 28 years between us.

    Cops: S.C. toddler finds gun; shoots grandmother in back

    October 12, 2015

    ROCK HILL, S.C. -- Police say a 2-year-old South Carolina boy found a gun in the car he was riding in and shot his grandmother in the back.

    Authorities were trying to determine Monday whether to file charges against the woman's sister, who owns the gun. The sister was driving the car with her great-nephew in the backseat and the child's grandmother in the passenger seat when the shooting happened, reports CBS affiliate WBTV.

    The boy found a .357 revolver in the pouch on the back of the front seat and fired the weapon accidentally, striking his grandmother through the passenger seat while the car was traveling through a stop light, reports the station.

    Rock Hill police Capt. Mark Bollinger said the 40-year-old woman is expected to survive.

    Investigators are trying to determine whether the child was in a car seat or if any gun laws were violated.

    Police didn't release the names of the child or the women.

    I don't buy this as a gun story. More like infantcide of the kids they forgot to abort.

    First off a toddler can't get a revolver to discharge unless someone set it up for him, cocked the hammer back and lay it down for the kid to find.

    Same with and auto which you don't normally have a round chambered so how did the kid get one in there?

    These yarns are not accidents.

    I wish people would educate their kids early about firearms. Take your kids favorite toy to the range and shoot it. Let him/her cry. And explain to them that that could be someone they loved if they ever fuck with a gun.

    Now quit being an ass hole and buy them a new one. Sure it's traumatic, that's why it works.

    That said natural selection is a good thing. If you are dumb enough to let a toddler touch a gun let a lone a loaded gun you deserve to be shot by them.

    There was a local dude here a while ago, bought himself a gun for his 21st birthday. Started taking selfies and shit for facebook. Sets gun down and parties for a while. Comes back to show gun to friends, puts it to head and pulls trigger forgetting it was loaded. Kills self. Why should someone take my gun because he is a moron? He took himself from the gene pool, if anything the gun should be given a reward for not jamming.

    Well this thread was fun to read. People arguing against each other with words or beliefs they didn't say..

    Anyway, I agree with Nate here. People don't respect guns. We (the nation as a whole) have glorified guns in the last 15-20 years, and don't seem to understand that guns are serious shit.

    This in no way was meant to be a sly or barfo type sarcastic response. I'm 100% serious. I had a friend of mine who grew up with a gun safe in his house. And one day I was over at his house, and he (my friend) wanted to show me one of them so I said sure. Not realizing that it wasn't OK with his dad, he got the gun out. When his dad found out, he laid into him (and me) about how guns aren't for fun or "show n tell".

    I think now guns are being made into show n tell AND people are just buying more and more of them (because certain groups are telling them they need to, for a variety of reasons).

    I mean wait..NATE BISHOP WHY DO YOU HATE GUNS! YOU ARE AN ANTI-GUN NUT!

    You keep saying one of the main points the anti gun people use to take guns is that we don't need them to survive. Then you say that we don't.

    Not sure what your point is.

    That they are right?

    Never before have we seen the level of customization and training available to the general public. Magpul went from a relatively unknown company to an industry standard for AR parts and accessories. They also released videos that provided training that the general public was never really able to get their hands on. Cool optic, cool lasers, cool vests/chest rigs/etc. You can buy suppressors (with the right federal stamp), you can make your AR into a short barreled rifle (with the right federal stamp.) There's so much you can do to your gun now, and then take it out and show it off. They've become almost like cars or motorcycles to an extent, in that people like to make them their own and then show them off to their friends. The gun industry is definitely evolving.

    The ultimate irony is when your future baby shoots you with it.

    The .270 is nice weapon. Perhaps not right for Brown Bear, but I never wanted to shoot one of those anyway.
