A 3-year-old accidentally shot and killed their 1-year-old sibling Monday in Fallbrook after getting ahold of an unsecured handgun, San Diego County Sheriff’s Deputies said.
As a hunter I own quite a few, but guess what? They are all fucking locked up in a safe and I don’t have any children, just my wife and I. How anyone could have children and think it’s ok to leave a firearm around is asinine.
As an Italian surrounded by guns who has them and hates them but might need to ruin my life by defending myself against a crazed neighbor… They’re abhorrent. There’s no good that comes from a gun.
Agreed, as terrible a thing as it is to happen to a parent it needs to be punished when this occurs. Someone was obviously negligent with a gun around a child. If it was put away properly this wouldn’t have happened.
If the owners didn’t know that keeping unlocked, loaded, and (I’m willing to bet) chambered firearms in a household with kids was dangerous then the only way they’ll learn is in jail.
lock the parents up and get that kid some lifelong counseling.
as a gun owner… I find not locking up your weapons abhorrent.
as a non American I find owning guns abhorrent but to each their own

I took away my son’s bb and pellet guns because I caught him waving his rifle around like a toy.
“But it wasn’t loaded!”
“Then you obviously forgot or ignored the very first thing I taught you.”

Responsible firearm owners are doing both of those.
