Man allegedly shoots girl, six, and her parents after ball rolls into his backyard
William White and his daughter Kinsley were seriously hurt during shooting in North Carolina

Just outlaw guns already! They are of no practical use whatsoever in 2023, and cause far too much pain and suffering.

Tell people "You are in great danger! Guns are the answer!" Tell them over and over and over and over.... This is what happens.

Gun Violence Is Actually Worse in Red States. It’s Not Even Close.
America’s regions are poles apart when it comes to gun deaths and the cultural and ideological forces that drive them.

Morons + guns = deaths.

What?!? You mean it's not those "inner city hell holes" where the liberal media won't tell us the "truth" about the slaughter. I'm aghast!

The stock 2nd amendment mob solution to these events is to make more guns more freely available, and make crime "crimey-er" for even harsher punishments after the fact, and to individualise defense responsibility on the victims, rather than regulation and accountability, because, "FREEDOM!"
Should being a prospective target in a public shooting gallery make one feel "freedom"? About loved ones being exposed to the hazard as "the price of freedom"?
It's likely impossible to prevent all similar threats to real freedom from the prospect of being randomly targeted, but doing nothing to manage the proliferation of availability to all and sundry, regardless of trustworthy responsibility, seems irresponsible in itself.
