Just exercising an inalienable right...

I'll bet that's the most action that gun has ever seen.

I know this could have easily been prevented if the parents had had the damn thing locked up in a cabinet the way they're meant to, but seriously... enough with the guns, guys.

Just stop it, it's embarrassing.

that makes me angry. not only will the parents have to live with that for their lives, that poor girl will probably grow up tormented by something she isnt able to comprehend.

Will people ever learn?

QFT

Keeping a gun LOADED, NOT locked up, and not even out of reach of young childeren.... in fact in a place they are most likely to search.

I mean. TBH my sympathetic heart tells me that the parents are probably just idiots who overlooked this matter and will be suffering enough as it is and probably blaming themselves.

From a psychological point of view, I would be very interested to follow this girl for the next few decades of her life to see how it has affected her. As she is around the age where you basically can't remember anything (I have no idea of a single thing that happened when I was three) But more than capable of comprehending emotions, actions/consequences etc.

Damn you psychology, turn me heartless.
