A 3-year-old accidentally shot and killed their 1-year-old sibling Monday in Fallbrook after getting ahold of an unsecured handgun, San Diego County Sheriff’s Deputies said.
the 2 common culprits in all these horrible stories are: 1) human stupidity 2) gun proliferation. solving the first would require eugenism. solving the second is a big american no-no. So don’t call it horrible, just live with it. It’s just a normal by-product of american culture.
IMHO solving 1 needed educations, but that’s also a big American no-no
No it’s not. For all of their ills, stupidity, nonsense, fraud, and extremely questionable decisions the NRA does run education campaigns with their “Eddie Eagle” program. A big problem is that it has been kicked out of schools, especially schools in Blue States, so they’re unable to reach one of the audiences that need it the most.
It’s like Red States kicking Sex Education out of schools and being shocked at teen pregnancies. Education works far better than restriction. Always.
I hadn’t thought of it quite that way but I suppose so. American’s do seem to have a nasty habit of not wanting to teach our children about things we don’t like.

Yeah, I’m not sure eugenics is ever the answer
Wtf?

So, as @Ichi_matsu@ttrpg.network said, it’s a big no-no for Americans.

Solving the first would require the end of human existence. You can’t breed out stupidity, eugenics doesn’t solve anything.
