So far this year, 13 toddlers in the U.S. have killed themselves with a gun. Someone is shot by a toddler here once a week on average.

Proof of bad parenting.
Far less incidents than other house dangers nobody asks to be banned.

Proof of very bad choices made by adults, and in most cases the parents, however they now have to live with the fact that this has happened along with any civil or criminal consequences.

We will NEVER be able to stop all accidents or incidents that will take a life and the more people that are in our population, the more the numbers can and will rise. We will always have people that will make bad choices with any items out there be it a firearm, motor vehicle, edged tool, drugs or common sense decisions. None of us have been given a guarantee of how long we will live or how short that will be. I suggest we do the best to make life the best we can for all people, both us and others around us but do that without infringing on their freedoms. It was what the United States was founded on.

I may disagree with what you have to say, but I shall defend to the death your right to say it. Voltaire.

If the information is correct, I think she should get more than 90 days in jail. She could have easily killed someone.

"Duva-Rodriguez was arraigned in the early afternoon in Rochester Hills on the single charge of reckless use, handling or discharge of a firearm, a misdemeanor punishable by up to 90 days in jail and/or a fine."

They should give her a medal. Maybe she could have killed the shoplifter or some robber who gets coddled and protected until they kill somebody. The crimninals have all the rights and sympathy and the law has to watch every word and step or is attacked. Start shooting shoplifters and carjackers and I bet they will start finding some other way to support their drug habits. A job would be one way?

No guns here, http://www.foxnews.com/world/2014/12/31/homemade-bomb-kills-4-wounds-at-least-30-at-southern-philippine-market/

I don't own a rifle or pistol.

Are you being facetious? I find it hard to believe you think death is an apt punishment for shoplifting or that you don't see that her actions were far more dangerous to the people there that day than shoplifting.

You might want to check out the Fleeing Felon Rule, theft of over $1000 would be a felony and if you actually read the article, they have mentioned it there as well.

In any case, the bad guys were caught and no one else hurt.

If you go into "What Ifs" then they bad guys could of killed someone in their get away if she had not stopped them. None of us can say for sure other than what has happened with no one being hurt or killed.

None of us should play arm chair quarterback on a Monday with this, let her local/state laws deal with it and go from there.

this is iStock/Getty's site and they make the rules.

I guess we should now charge more when people contact us directly for this kind of images.

At least it won't sell for .75 cents on a subscription.

I got over 300 deactivated.
They are apparently getting read of anything sensual

BTW notice one of the reasons they mention "or represents gender roles in a sexist manner"

As far as I heard, there are complains from big clients that their employees are using corporate accounts to download this kind of images for "personal use".

Then it sounds like to me that the big clients need to police their own employees in what is downloaded on their accounts rather than complain to iStock/Getty to have some of our work taken down.

But based on the reason mentioned above, it seems that the PC Police have come out to force iStock/Getty to censor our photos, but as was said before, this is iStock/Getty's site and they make the rules.

You can always search by the deactivated files option, use the file number from the e-mail sent to find out which files have been taken off, that was what I had to do. They only got 3 of mine so far.

I guess they need something for the inspectors to do now that they pretty much accept any file.
