A toddler somehow got his hands on a pistol and fatally shot himself in the head in a tragic accident in Fresno, California, on Saturday.

It's the price we have to pay for the freedom to carry.

This was an interesting discussion, not sure how I missed it.

I agree, common sense gun laws are all I want. Better background checks (maybe a law saying if you've been involuntarily committed to a mental facility you can't own a gun), raise the minimum age for assault rifle ownership to 21+, and if you want to regulate guns like you regulate cars (have to pass a test to get a license) I'm all for it. That's the part of the argument "people kill people with cars too" that people forget. Cars are heavily regulated, even more so for people under 18. Why should guns be any different?

That has always been my argument as well , no one is coming for the guns but things like this should make people scream for smarter gun laws.The NRA should be leading the pack on smart gun control.
