I don’t think that most 3 year olds are capable of truly being taught the seriousness of handling a firearm. It is the grown-up’s responsibility to ensure that the 3 year old has no reasonable chance of ever getting to their gun before they do.
Blam Blam Rubble?
“The bullet first struck his father in the buttock and then hit the right shoulder of his mother, who is eight months pregnant...”
Apparently, mom’s doctor ordered her to refrain from sex, but her dentist made no such orders.
They should pass a law about toddlers with guns. Maybe give the toddlers longer jail time. If they are old enough to shoot a gun, maybe they should be tried as adults.
The kid was heard muttering, “Yeah, dad? I’m a pain in the ass, huh”?
I’m sorry but anyone who allows a toddler access, especially unsupervised access, to a loaded weapon should be shot.
The boy needs more range time so he can get all three with one shot (well, four since his mother is about to drop another kid).
“I was more worried about my girlfriend than myself...”
Then he would have married her, BEFORE the baby was born.
“America’s Best Value Inn”
Certainly a good deal for that family. Two for the price of one (round).
most people would be better off with a revolver
“Jonathan Hutson, a spokesman for the Washington-based Brady Campaign and Center to Prevent Gun Violence, said the shooting should serve as a reminder to all parents to keep guns locked away securely.”
A rather SANE statement from that bunch. If you have a 3 year old, it’s probably not a good idea to have a loaded gun within reach. The term “locked away” is subjective, in my mind. If the gun is unloaded, it’s highly unlikely that the kid will be both smart enough and strong enough to load it. Maybe one or the other, but not both.
A 3 year and 2 year old and 1 in the oven and unmarried. Somebody needs another hobby besides concealed carry.
There seem to have been quite a few toddler shootings lately.
I wonder if they’re all true?
Imagine the headlines if he was a white toddler adopted by black parents.
Lol
You should be a detective
I'm with you brother; the toddler needs some range time.
Sorry, I'm a good, Christian man, but I'm through trying to grieve for people in news stories dredged up for the explicit purpose of stripping me of my rights and subverting my conservative politics.
There is no excuse for this. The parents are responsible.
How about BEFORE they conceived?
