I heard about this on the AM a.m. drive rubbish here in Cleveburg.... even the dumbjock gabblers were rather taken aback by such an obvious danger to society. A two-shot .38 made to look like a cell phone/pager/whatever for less than $400? Oh and "Don't forget to check your state's concealed carry/firearms laws"

Despicable

Hope the kids don't answer the wrong one - or selfie suicide

.380 aka " 9mm short ". That's a real gun.

Better than no gun at all, rube.

In 59 + years I've never had a home invasion robbery, assault by brain-eating zombies, attempted carjacking or had any other occasion in which a gun was essential.


Just lucky I guess.

People are getting shot by toddlers on a weekly basis this year

By Christopher Ingraham October 14, 2015 Follow @_cingraham

This week a 2-year-old in South Carolina found a gun in the back seat of the car he was riding in and accidentally shot his grandmother, who was sitting in the passenger seat. This type of thing happens from time to time: A little kid finds a gun, fires it, and hurts or kills himself or someone else. These cases rarely bubble up to the national level except when someone, like a parent, ends up dead.

But cases like this happen a lot more frequently than you might think. After spending a few hours sifting through news reports, I've found at least 43 instances this year of somebody being shot by a toddler 3 or younger. In 31 of those 43 cases, a toddler found a gun and shot himself or herself.

In August, for instance, a 21-month-old in the St. Louis area found a loaded handgun at his grandmother's house and shot himself in the torso. His mother took him to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Earlier in the year a Michigan 3-year-old found a loaded .40-caliber handgun in a closet while his dad and brother were outside. He shot himself in the head and died before rescue workers arrived.

[This is what one year of gun deaths in America looks like]

The stories go on and on like this: Roughly once a week this year, on average, a small child has found a gun, pointed it at himself or someone else, and pulled the trigger. Boys are disproportionately likely to do this: I could find only three cases where a girl under the age of 4 wounded someone with a gun. In 13 of the 43 total incidents, a child's self-inflicted injuries were fatal. In two other cases, another person died after being shot by a toddler: a father in Alabama, and a 1-year-old in Ohio.

In one instance, a 3-year-old managed to wound both of his parents with a single gunshot at an Albuquerque motel.

assault by brain-eating zombies

well of course not...

You don't go to a restaurant that doesn't serve the type of food you like to eat...

[Jarlaxle]

I almost wonder if rube posts that kind of crap on purpose...even HE had to see that hanging curve ball!

I believe the part about never experiencing an attempted car-jacking and not being the victim of a home invasion but I don't believe the part about not having been attacked by brain eating zombies .

[Bicycle Bill]

Isn't a smartphone one of the first things — if not the only thing — a thief will take from you?
Congratulations; you've just given the guy a gun so he can become a better, more efficient thief.

Why? He has nothing they want.

[Lord Jim]

I think Joe is saying it happened a long time ago...

People can have all sorts of legitimate reasons for why they don't care to own a firearm, but rube's "I've never been in a situation where I needed one" is a pretty poor one...

The "reasoning" he's using is like somebody saying, "My house has never caught on fire so I don't need smoke alarms or a fire extinguisher" or, "I've never been in a car accident, so I have no need for a seat-belt"....

Maybe those "cell phone" guns are one reason the TSA idiots ask boarding passengers to turn on their phones, or is it phonies?

Maybe idiot is not the correct term. I personally know two former TSA friskers. One was hired even though he is a certified paranoid schizophrenic. I think he forgot to add that to the information asked for on the application. His mother used to work here, so I know the whole family. The other one got caught pilfering from the stuff going across the line of baskets. He had to know there were cameras on his every move. Yeah, idiot is a good descriptive term for him.
