Quote: Because an unloaded firearm is just a club.
Point!
I suppose being a Brit, (not that gun crime does not exist) it just seems odd that someone would carry a firearm as part of their 'every day carry', when I have been to the US everywhere has metal detectors to ensure you don't carry guns, knives, metal cased pens around. I once made the mistake of carrying my mini-swiss army knife and almost got stripped searched because of it!

I avoid places that don't allow me to carry a weapon. Problem solved. Everyone feels safe, and life goes on.

You make it sound like America is the most dangerous place in the world. I've never carried a weapon for protection and I live in one of the most dangerous areas in America (St. Louis, Missouri). I've never once felt the need to carry a gun. Some will say I'm lucky/stupid for not having a gun.
Carrying a gun is a right in America. It makes about as much sense as two people on welfare having a kid, but its their right too.
I won't try to take your gun away from you, but also please keep it away from me. Gun owners all claim to be responsible, until they have an accident.

Not possible...She basically thinks that guns are toys, and it was only an accident, like falling from the carousel...so why think different?

Hold on to that thought, it explains a lot.
Especially if you're a parent that has tried to take away a toy from a child that was meant for older children.

You can't fix stupid. Don't they teach anything about gun safety in (certain parts of) the U.S.? 
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Unfortunately she still hasn't found the "everyone else for Common Sense" page. But she is not alone in that.

For the vast majority of gun owners, gun safety is instinctual, or even considered by them to be "common sense".
If I had children, I don't think I'd even show them a gun until they were old enough to comprehend the inherent dangers with regards to handling them. I certainly wouldn't allow one to be within immediate/easy reach of a child, and would keep them in a locked safe. IMHO, that's simply common sense, and I certainly didn't need (or take) special training to come to these conclusions.
Normal people don't need the government to tell them how to keep their children safe.

0) Luckily, the child was not injured.
1) If nothing else, hopefully, she learned a lesson about how to properly store her firearms.
2) I'm betting the state tries to come up with some trumped up bullshit legal challenge, but I personally think a bullet in the back should be punishment enough.
3) Her being an idiot does not automatically mean the government can infringe on her rights (or mine, or yours).
4) Maybe she'll become a famous advocate for properly securing firearms in the presence of children.

I'd be happy if she started by advocating securing children in the presence of a deadly weapon, cars! If the kid hadn't shot her he could just as easily have been flung forward in an emergency stop and cracked her skull open. Safety does not appear to be a high priority issue!

Looks like a Lincoln Town Car. If that is the case, there should be plenty of room under the hood to plant a tree. I'd guess that the radiator and attached hoses and belts were severed, but if that has a cast iron block and heads, it should last a good 15 to 20 minutes without cooling.

His English homework this week was to answer the following questions about the last book he had read.
"Who do you know that would like to read it and why?"
"Who do you know who wouldn't like to read it and why?"
He said to me this is really hard Daddy, it's easy to say who would like it because all my friends like Diary of the Wimpy Kid, but I don't know anyone who wouldn't want to read it. I agreed it was hard and somewhat a negative way of thinking about one of your favourite books but I told him to go away and have a think about it and I'm sure you'll come back with something. Ten minutes later he came back and proudly showed me his homework book where he had wrote
"Freddie Kruegar would not like to read Diary of the Wimpy Kid because every time he tried to turn the page his razor hands will shred it to pieces"
That's my boy, no need for a DNA test there. Can't wait till see how his Teacher marks it.

Shouldn't that be "Whom" ?

The first sentence doesn't use a relative personal pronoun, either, so I vote we take up a petition to sack this moron who's pretending to be an English teacher.

Nope. Sorry. Oxford Dictionaries has declared the use of 'whom' in this context unnecessarily exaggerated formality (as close as they will ever come to saying 'incorrect'!) The simple interrogative is properly treated differently to the relative pronoun. It is one of many examples where the rules (which you will remember were arbitrarily imposed by an intellectual elite anyway) have never truly reflected actual use.
