Everyone thinks they’re an above average driver, too. How many careless gun owners are out there, convinced that they’re one of the more responsible ones?

Antennas are less than $50. Do it! Cut that cord! :)

That’s the thing. You’d think rigorous, scrupulous safety training would be the cornerstone of a society that favors guns. If you’re a hunting family, shouldn’t you be teaching your five year olds that all guns are loaded and can kill somebody?

The “visitation every other weekend” is also extra tragic for the mom- clearly she had figured out how much of a shitstain this dad was, but had no chance to protect her kids.

Yes, exactly. And all the other “responsible gun owners” reading this story will just shake their heads and say, “Well, it would NEVER happen to me!” Until it does. And then they’ll weep and wonder how, and all the others reading their story will keep saying, “Well, it would NEVER happen to me!” And that’s why nothing…

Even when white, rural children are shot it’s kept on the down low to “protect the family” in their time of grieving .

Especially since the majority of children being shot are poor minorities in urban centers. They do not exist as victims. Only as criminals.

No this is America. Obviously the answer is to arm the children. This wouldnt have happened if the other kids were armed.

Police officers killed in the line of duty get a hell of a lot more media coverage than a child being shot.

They’re all responsible gun owners, until they’re not.

The thing that kills me about these (all too frequent) occurrences is that I am sure before this incident he considered himself “a responsible gun owner.” I know way to many people like him, who don’t separate their weapons from their bullets, don’t keep either in a safe, don’t keep the door to the room with the…

This. “Usually” is one of those words that just doesn’t belong around guns, kids, or nuclear launch codes.

You fucking, stupid, careless asshole. Usually? Usually?

No charges?!? God I hope his ex-wife sues for total custody and wrongful death. Fuck that idiot leaving a loaded gun out. Fuck him.

Yeah, i see that sign all the time driving on the belt parkway. I can’t tell you how proud it makes me to be half Italian.

And this right here is why I don’t have the type of relationship with my parents that allows me to be open and honest with them about something being seriously wrong in my life. It took me a few years of counseling to figure it out, but that’s it in a nutshell. They don’t know about the counseling, or the depression,…

This is why I did not have any kids. “Get away from it all?” Really? If I was her mother, I would grab her by the collar and drag her ass right back to school so she “get away from it all” in a book. And yes, I pulled the same shit with my parents so I know what I speak.
