    Clearly the solution is more guns!!!!

    Boy, 4, shoots babysitter for stepping on his foot

    JACKSON, Ohio ? Police say a 4-year-old boy in southern Ohio shot his babysitter because the sitter accidentally stepped on his foot. Police said 18-year-old Nathan Beavers and several other teenagers were babysitting several young children in a mobile home in Jackson on Sunday when the shooting occurred.

    Witnesses told police the 4-year-old retrieved the shotgun from a bedroom closet and shot Beavers. Police said the child was angry because Beavers accidentally stepped on his foot.

    Beavers was hospitalized with minor pellet wounds to his arm and side.

    Police say another teen was also injured with shotgun pellets.

    Jackson County Sheriff John Shashteen said authorities are investigating the shooting. The child has not been charged.

    Why try to even make this into an anti gun argument?
    Obviously it was just non responsible gun owners and if anything an argument for more responsible ownership and the use of trigger locks - especially if you have kids.

        clearly, the answer is more target practice, that 4 year old should have gotten a headshot, geez. what's this world coming to.

          Guns should be kept in secure locked cabinets, while kids are around at least


          Happy new year Richard and please send my love to Donna.

            Yea, nobody talks about the people who were all killed when guys pushed their way into their house, or some poor schmuck who has his kid stolen at knife point. Nobody talks about the fact that gun crimes are much much lower in states that do not have licensing restrictions...But some complete asshole leaves a gun laying around and all guns are bad.

            If the kid set the house on fire should we outlaw fire?

              No but they have found a way to make lighters ridiculously difficult to light especially with damp fingers.

                  well if you remember when BEavis and Butthead first came out,

                  fire fire fire is good

                  some little kid burnt his house down with a bic lighter

                  then later on all disposable lighters require a safety, fucking pain in the ass

                    Kids in a trailer park in Southern Ohio? The only tragedy here is that the kid didn't get a clean shot and then turn the rifle on himself...

                      I rarely see a disposable lighter with a safety.

                              You said all disposable lighters in you're statement, i know what bic is, had no idea the brand now has a safety feature in all it's lighters

                              if i need a lighter i dont give a shit what brand it is as long as it works, and like i said earlier i have not seen a safety disposable lighter in a long time.


                              for the record: I think all lighters should have safety on them.

                                    What's the law in Ohio for something like this? Isn't the gun owner responsible for the safety of his firearm?

                                      Bic has a metal spring tab on top of the roller that makes it harder to press down to turn the roller

                                      The cheaper ones the roller is spring loaded so you have to press down on it

                                      You just never realized that they were safety's, because that's why they designed them like that.

                                      Like I said, you have seen them, just you really didn't know what it was.

                                      No big deal, just stating facts.

                                      BTW: It's a federal law, so yes they ALL HAVE THEM

                                            actually people should not have guns - but i know that i will always be a minority with this opinion on here

                                              The small penis gun theory is old, played out and not accurate.

                                              Guns save lives.
                                              Guns put food on the table.
                                              Guns protect women from thugs.

                                              Guns are fine and guns are good.

                                                    The cheaper ones the roller is spring loaded so you have to press down on it

                                                    You just never realized that they were safety's, because that's why they designed them like that.

                                                    Like I said, you have seen them, just you really didn't know what it was.

                                                    No big deal, just stating facts.

                                                    BTW: It's a federal law, so yes they ALL HAVE THEM

                                                    Got ya, they need to do better though.

                                                    kids come in all shapes and sizes and it does not take too much pressure to get a disposable to work, infact i would think a kid would see it as a challenge.

                                                        yes both of those have safetys, CA has nothing to do with it. Those are the same ones here on this side :-)

                                                            i think it has something to do with a baby or young toddler age child that doesn't know better, or might not even know what a lighter is.

                                                            a baby will have a hard time

                                                            a 7 year old will light them no problem

                                                                  They used to have those levers you had to push in in order to engage the valve. Not sure what happened to those.

Even in countries with gun-control and in proposed American gun-control laws, shotguns are legal and fine to have. The problem in this incident was the weapon was not properly stored... no law would have prevented that. That is just stupidity.

But they'll have to spend a year getting the license (which includes joining a shooting club for courses and such), and if there's any indication whatsoever that they might not be responsible weapon owners, they still won't get a license.

Here in Canada the minimum requirements for storage of a shotgun or rifle is a trigger lock, with the ammo stored separately. If you don't have a trigger lock on it, then it has to be in a locked cabinet. I personally have a gun safe.

                                                                                Guns are great, but they need to be kept out of little kid's hands until they can be taught how to use them safely.

                                                                                  Hell, even here in The Netherlands, people can legally own guns. But they'll have to spend a year getting the license (which includes joining a shooting club for courses and such), and if there's any indication whatsoever that they might not be responsible weapon owners, they still won't get a license.
                                                                                  Even shotguns?

Here in Canada the minimum requirements for storage of a shotgun or rifle is a trigger lock, with the ammo stored separately. If you don't have a trigger lock on it, then it has to be in a locked cabinet. I personally have a gun safe.

                                                                                    Guns are great, but they need to be kept out of little kid's hands until they can be taught how to use them safely.
                                                                                    that's a stupid law

                                                                                    that not only keeps them out of little kids hands but also out of your hands in case you need it quickly

                                                                                    i'm not saying leave them laying around on the coffee table or anything but keeping every gun you own locked up and unloaded is stupid

                                                                                    unless of course the next home invasion they call ahead and let you know they are coming

                                                                                    that's a great idea

                                                                                    they should just make 2257 laws for criminals,
                                                                                    all robbers must first keep a record of every house they break in to.

                                                                                    that will stop all robberies and then no one would need any firearms to protect themselves :-}

                                                                                        I highly doubt all Canadians meet those minimum requirements. There is no way to enforce such a law. That is why gun control laws would not have done anything to prevent this incident. The parents should have had the weapon out of the child's reach, period. This is an "idiot incident", we don't need another 10 laws trying to prevent something like this happening again when common sense can't even prevent it.

                                                                                          There's nothing stopping you from keeping your shotgun under your bed with your ammo in your nightstand right beside you. Just keep the key in the bedroom with you where a kid can't get at it.

                                                                                          If you don't have time to grab a key in your bedroom chances are your going to get killed before you even know what's going on anyway.

                                                                                              There's nothing stopping you from keeping your shotgun under your bed with your ammo in your nightstand right beside you. Just keep the key in the bedroom with you where a kid can't get at it.

                                                                                              If you don't have time to grab a key in your bedroom chances are your going to get killed before you even know what's going on anyway.

Or is it based on the trust system and if you get caught shooting someone then you also get hit with that charge as well?

                                                                                                I highly doubt all Canadians meet those minimum requirements. There is no way to enforce such a law. That is why gun control laws would not have done anything to prevent this incident. The parents should have had the weapon out of the child's reach, period. This is an "idiot incident", we don't need another 10 laws trying to prevent something like this happening again when common sense can't even prevent it.

                                                                                                Stupid people... that's all it was.
                                                                                                They enforce it when they see it happen. For instance, this family in Ohio would lose all their guns and be charged. Nothing will happen in this case, since there is no law on the books.

                                                                                                And yes, if police are called to your house for an incident involving a firearm then they are going to inspect your storage methods. If you are not following the rules then you get charged, possibly losing your firearms.

                                                                                                Seeing people charged with stuff like that acts as a deterrent for most people, even though it should be common sense already.

                                                                                                But I agree, they were stupid and stupid people probably aren't going to care anyway.

Here in Canada the minimum requirements for storage of a shotgun or rifle is a trigger lock, with the ammo stored separately. If you don't have a trigger lock on it, then it has to be in a locked cabinet. I personally have a gun safe.

                                                                                                  Guns are great, but they need to be kept out of little kid's hands until they can be taught how to use them safely.

If I had small kids in the house then I wouldn't have it laying around either. It's just a knife. Do you have steak knives in your kitchen?
