Gun owners everywhere need to be more responsible because stupid shit like this happens and lawmakers get a hard on for more gun control and use shit like this to push the agenda

Tragic incident either way

I'm not a big fan of safe storage laws as I have no children in my home, but when I do everything's unloaded and under lock and key.

I don't understand why you wouldnt.

That abuse and neglect likely wouldn't be on mom's part, but on the care taker.
