De to the negligence of this 3 year olds parents, the toddler found a gun in his mothers purse, picked it up and shot his dad in the hip, and the bullet continued to his mother and hit her as well. The mother is 8 months pregnant. They went to the hospital, the dad is cleared, and the mother is hospitalized in stable condition.
While carrying a gun is permitted due to the second amendment, shouldn't the parents have been smarter than to leave it in an obvious place their child could get ahold of? Its crazy how blindsided people are when it come to proper use and possession of guns. They are dangerous and by no means should be accessible to a small child.http://www.cnn.com/2015/02/01/us/new-mexico-toddler-shoots-parents/index.html
I don't know why she carries a gun in the first place. I think the safest spot in my opinion is at home just in case you need it and hidden where the child can't find it. I hope everyone is okay though!
ReplyDeleteI think this is just another reason why we should review the second amendment, and possibly update it. There are too many lives being taken, and too many children who are now having to face the consequences of a mishap with a gun. It's not necessarily like Prohibition where we have to dismiss all guns, but I believe that we should tighten up our gun control laws. Elizabeth Muscari 6thpd
ReplyDeleteWhy would they keep a gun where a child could reach it in the first place? maybe now people will began to rethink the gun laws because this clearly shows that if it can get into the hands of anybody, bad things could happen.
