I do not know how one lives with themselves after this.

I am sure this Mother probably bought into the NRA propaganda that by carrying around a concealed weapon - Wild West style - she was actually protecting her daughter.

Mom accidentally shoots, kills 2-year-old daughter

Police say a 2-year-old girl has been accidentally shot and killed by her mother at a hotel outside of Cleveland.

Police say an initial investigation indicates the woman was handling a firearm when it fired and struck the girl in the chest.
Police say the mother legally possessed the handgun and had a concealed carry permit.

I would rather be robbed and lose all my money, than shoot my son or daughter through the chest.

That's just my priorities, maybe not yours.

I have a lot of empathy for what this lady in Cleveland is going through. I would never be able to recover from something like that, and she is going to live with nightmares the rest of her life.

I cannot even imagine.

If only we treated gun ownership the same way we do car drivership. You have to qualify for a drivers license and demonstrate that you can safely handle and parallel park a 2000-lb death mobile. But a gun? Not so much.

Our priorities are fucked up.

Good points.

I can see keeping a shotgun or pistol safely stored at home, or in a retail store if there is a need for self-defense.

Walking around like it is the Wild West with a concealed weapon just seems over the top and just increases exponentially the chance for mishap.
And I really don't think having 2 year old children anywhere near a loaded gun is a particularly good idea.

And allowing untrained ppl, no matter how fearful they might be, to own a deadly device is just asking for tragedy like this.

My father would never even let us put bullets in the gun until we were actually on the firing range. Wild West and Rambo fantasies are just not something that he would have considered.

Walking around like it is the Wild West, with loaded guns and small children in tow is not something that was in my father's gun repertoire.

just curious, but would you be like the idiot teenage girl i saw in a walkout video over the weekend and prefer to be raped a hundred times than ever have a gun in your house?

But the leg humping rape apologist is just fine killing kids as long as its done in an abortion clinic.

Just his 'priorities'... gun bad, metal spike through head good.
