How many more kids need to needlessly die from falling coconuts before we ban coconuts CAMARINES SUR - A two-year-old boy died after a coconut fell on his head in Barangay Vinagre, in Tigaon, Camarines Sur on Tuesday. According to Lory Alina, they had just finished eating lunch when her son, Jeric, asked permission to play outside their house with his friends and older brother. Jayson Alina said Jeric went to a nearby coconut plantation to defecate when a coconut fell and landed on his head. http://news.abs-cbn.com/nation/regions/01/20/16/defecating-kid-dies-after-coconut-falls-on-head
Tragic. I'd like to ban them too, but for now lets just say we are for banning high capacity coconuts.
Much like the right can't tell the difference between consensual sex with adults and someone raping a child or animal, they now are unable to tell the difference between accidental death and purposeful murder.
Yes, a coconut falling out of a tree is a fitting comparison to a death caused by the deliberate aiming and firing of a gun. Gun people, this is not how you defend the 2nd. This is how you make yourselves look foolish.
