Machine gun shoot

A horrible tragedy occurred at that show. There were people there who were responsible for range safety. They failed.

But the discussion here intrestes me.

Had the boy been at the county fair, checking out the new chainsaws with Dad, and had a kickback it would have made the papers for a day or two. People would read the obits. and shake their heads at this terrible .

There would be no, or little, finger pointing, I think.

There would be no national organizations trying to enact new laws mandating minimum age limits for chainsaw usage.

There would be no "chainsaw safety course" license to obtain.

For sure (sorry Skip) the lawyers would show up. But asside of that the same tragedy, other other cercumstances, would fade into obscurity after a short time.

Is the issue a tragic , control, or both?
