Shooting Death Of 4-Year-Old Brings Guns Safety To The Forefront
http://www2.wjbf.com/news/2011/jun/03/four-year-old-shoots-himself-find-out-more-gun-saf-ar-1925152/

Aiken County, SC --A gunshot has ended the life of an 4-year-old Aiken County boy, identified as Kavionne Brabham.

Aiken County Coroner Tim Carlton says the boy grabbed an unsecured 38-caliber revolver under a bed in his house and shot himself in the head.

A lot of people are talking about this unfortunate and sad case.

I spoke with a captain at the Aiken Public Safety Department who says this case just shows why gun safety is so important, especially for parents.

This is why pediatricians ask about guns in the home - and tragedies like this are what the GOP/NRA in Florida is promoting with their stupid unconstitutional doctor-muzzling law.

yup

1. Not clear on something
If a pediatrition asks if there is a gun in the house and the parent replies that there is, what happens?

2. Child gun accidents are the bread and butter of anti gun groups

That's why anti gun groups promote the way pediatricians ask about guns. Most parents will lie and say they don't have guns and the issue is not discussed. If child gun accidents went down to zero what would anti gun people do???
