Blame the father, not the gun.
There is one gun death per every 35,000 guns.
350 million guns in America
349,999,999 other guns did not kill these children.
you don't know any of the facts as to how this subject acquired that particular gun.

Blame the father, not the gun.**Tell me, PRECISELY where I blamed the gun.
I will spell it out to you once more:
US gun laws are the problem. They are inadequate, weak and haphazardly applied. And, the reason they are so hopeless and you are very happy to
see 10,000 of your fellow Americans murdered each year via bullets, is
due to the fact that the NRA controls the Republican Party.
you don't know any of the facts as to how this subject acquired that particular gun.**Indeed. However, it seems clear that he should not have access to
firearms.

**As has been proven by the Australian experience, strong gun control

By all means prosecute criminals, but also toughen gun control laws.
BTW: The US locks up more criminals than any other nation:
https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/incarceration-rates-by-country
AND, that is not a per capita figure!
Here's the thing:
Gun loons, the NRA and the Republican Party claim that more guns make
the US safer. By that measure, the US should be the safest, least deadly place on the planet. It isn't.
You claim that locking people up makes the US safer. The US has, by a
very wide margin, the largest prison population, per capita. That fact
is not making the US safer.
