Green Beret, Iraq Vet Father Accidentally Shot And Killed By Four Year Old Son www.mediaite.com/tv/green-beret-iraq-vet-father-accidentally-shot-and-killed-by-four-year-old-son/A man was accidentally shot and killed by his four-year-old son in Prescott Valley, Arizona on Friday afternoon, after the boy found a gun left unattended. Justin Thomas, a former Green Beret and Iraq veteran, and his son were visting from Phoenix. A witness says the son found the gun in a friend’s living room, asked, “Daddy, what’s this?” and accidentally fired. Police say that Thomas was visiting the friend unannounced, which potentially explains why the gun was left unsecured. Thomas died at the hospital, while the son stayed with police officers until his mother arrived. Authorities say Thomas also has a newborn child.

Another sad story of a child accidentally shooting someone. This poor child will have to live with this for the rest of his life. Only careless people leave loaded guns laying around and the homeowner should be charged with negligence.

More guns = the death of more innocent people. Pretty simple.

More guns = the death of more innocent people. Pretty simple. The neighborhood thugs who stole my guns while I was in hospital had a gunfight down the street. I sat on my upstairs porch and laughed as they shot each other. Nobody innocent has a stolen gun in his posession. No paperwork, no waiting period, just give the drug dealer the money and the felon drives off with a gun. For gun grabbers: I once loaded a 9mm semi auto and set it on a bookshelf where it sat for eight years, gathering dust. Nobody ever picked it up and used it. Guns are just tools. Harmless tools until some thug picks one up and uses it. Or some law abiding citizen uses it to resist the criminal attack by thugs. Criminal attacks made easier if all the law abiding citizens have been disarmed. Us real people call 911 knowing we don't need a cop in 20 minutes to an hour, we need help right this goddam minute. Only a gun in the hand of a law abiding citizen provides that immediate life saving help.
