One parent learns the cost of not looking after their guns or their children: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-68223118 Also there is an attempt to blame others for their own lax attitude - a rather sick attempt at a defence.

Isn't that murder with intent? That's up to the Grand Jury to decide: The homeowner, who was “fearing for his safety,” fired off “several” rounds toward the suspect because he thought his counterpart was reaching for a firearm, Gonzalez said. |

Well, having a gun to protect you doesn't work, indeed it can hurt you: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-68578734 Bob Smith Member of Seti PIPPS (Pluto is a Planet Protest Society) Somewhere in the (un)known Universe? |

It'll be interesting to see why this privileged U.S. gun nut thinks that she's innocent. A colourful US traveller will stand trial over allegations she tried to smuggle a 24-karat gold firearm into Australia in her hand luggage. Liliana Goodson was arrested at Sydney Airport on the afternoon of April 23 last year after Australian Border Force allegedly found a golden weapon hidden in her hand luggage. |

Obviously lax security by TSA screening, if the article is correct "... in her hand luggage". TSA website says there is a proper way to pack, declare and travel with a firearm |

Liliana Goodson was arrested at Sydney Airport on the afternoon of April 23 last year after Australian Border Force allegedly found a golden weapon hidden in her hand luggage.How could this woman enter the plane in Los Angeles carrying this gun? It is just possible that the X-Ray operator sneezed just as her bag was on the screen. https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2024-04-11/tsa-found-more-than-1-500-firearms-on-passengers-in-the-first-3-months-of-the-year April 11, 2024 Updated 12:04 PM PT Much more likely she declared the gun which is legal in USA, they informed Sydney who arrested her as it now was criminal on landing. I note it says "hand luggage" not "carry on luggage" Now I don't know if that is a difference in English or just click bait. |

Not really, different airports, airlines, and even staff use the two terms interchangeably; even for or on the same flight.
