    The kid was immediately offered a job at ICE and his Mom was to, as a senior firearms safety trainer.

      And if the kid don’t shoot himself he would’ve drove a car over himself.

        Doesn’t matter. It’s like saying most pilots will not crash a plane. All Americans are at risk because they let some irresponsible people own guns

          Genuinely unsure what point you’re making with the plane crash thing… yes, most pilots don’t crash? Sometimes they do, and we accept that risk because of the utility flying provides. It feels like you’re trying to advocate for tighter gun control with an argument against it

        I would probably feel safer around someone who says that they’re not, than someone who doesn’t acknowledge the potential dangerous situations.

          Why engage with the issue and propose solutions when you can jerk yourself off over how much better you are than the victims?

            I’m better than the dipshit that left a loaded gun in an unlocked glovebox with a 4 year old in the car.

            The victim here is a child. Not the negligent “rEsPoNsIbLe GuN oWnEr” that left a loaded gun where a 4 year old could both access and use it.

            Maybe you actually are a responsible gun owner. I doubt that sincerely since you’re acting like the perpetrator is the victim.

      There’s a Waffle House down the road, as well as a McD’s and Bojangles across the street. The Glock being in an unlocked glove box with a 4-year-old in the passenger seat is just one in a series of horrible judgement calls.

        Reminder that the states is the only nation where Firearms discharging in ovens happens. It is like they are allergic to basic firearm safety, In fact the last time I talked to an american they got pissy when I told them I would never have any of my guns loaded unless I was actively using them let alone store them loaded.

        More gun in oven

        Even more gun in oven

        Wow, they are not even treated as big news deals, just guns loaded and left in ovens left and right

        Really why is this not covered more, A literal baby was shot from a loaded pistol in an oven

      If Ronald McDonald had a gun, he could have saved the kid, but McDonalds quietly phased him out after the clowns wandering around neighborhoods thing.

        I once met the ronald mcdonald. He had done it for almost two decades, and was, according to him, the only one that would go around and be introduced as ronald mcdonald (he was apparently listed as a vp in the company, for reasons, but was obviously paid peanuts) in official mcdonald’s promotions. If I remember, he also did some of the voices for the astroworld batman show.

        Anyway. The reason that’s relevant? I met him because he was retired from the mcdonald thing and getting his police officer training, so… ronald mcdonald is probably out there now with a gun.
