“Gun Death” Hobby Horse Eddition

This is a terrible one, but let’s project a bit:

A Florida mental health counselor has been arrested for allegedly murdering her lesbian lover’s two-year-old daughter after the girl’s mother, also a mental health counselor, broke up with her.

…Officers were called to REDACTED Jupiter, Florida, home Monday for a reported drowning. There, they found Elliana Lucas-Jamason, 2, dead.

Now this is yet another “Gun Death”, and yet another one by a Mother (tho not in the traditional sense) drowning a small child. I will often quip that we don’t call for banning bathtubs etc when we read stories like this. Still the antis call for banning guns when somebody gets shot by the horrible actions of another person.

Still in this case we can drag out all the odd political hobby horses. I mean these were homosexuals! Did the fact that she’s gay have anything to do with this child’s death? In the pictures we see a family photo around an Obama Sign! OBVIOUSLY a McCain or Romney voter wouldn’t kill their kids! The children appear to be of different or mixed races, is this all due to the lack of ethnic purity? Not to cast a broad brush, but most counselors I know got into it from seeing counselors themselves and have their own mental demons, and obviously she was mentally ill to do this. But they were BOTH Councillors, so this is obviously a failure of our mental health system!

I’m sure we could go on for ages, but in the end, it’s the person who’s the problem.
