Here’s the link to the article about a little girl who somehow managed to shoot herself with a loaded handgun and died. Yes, she died.
Of course, the usual questions come to mind: What was she doing with the gun? Why was it loaded? Why wasn’t it put away? The father is a sheriff’s deputy and so you would think that he would know better than to allow a child to somehow manage to get her hands on a gun? I think I touched on the same questions before in my post: Why I Think Some People Should Not Procreate.
I mean, come on! The dad is a sheriff’s deputy and he had a gunsafe. So, what was is doing out? Loaded? I guess some people really have not common sense when they get older. Maybe I’m just being a little silly, but these days, you can load a gun pretty easily so there’s really no need to fuss with loading a gun, right? So what was it doing sitting around, loaded?
Well… I don’t think you can help some people. I feel sorry for the parents of the little girl. But should they be blamed? Should parents be held responsible for these accidents? Shouldn’t the parents have been “hawking” the 3 year old? I know I would… put a leash on her if you have to. Just make sure you know what she’s up to… kids shouldn’t have any kind of privacy until they move out…
