You want to prosecute the dad?
It should be possible to prosecute him. Some states require weapons to be secured. That is one of those "common sense " gun laws that could save lives, violate no ones rights, but that are opposed by the ammosexuals who fear and worship the NRA god. To live the gun laying around is stupid and irresponsible, especially on the part of a cop.
You know what else is stupid and irresponsible? Leaping to conclusions and making self-righteous pronouncements like that before the body's even cold, let alone the investigation by people with actual access to pertinent information is done.
You don't know what the circumstances are, and you're too pig-stupid and arrogant to know how much you don't know.
Holy shit ! Seriously? Calm down and wipe the spit off of your chin. Kid picked up the gun. Kid should not have had access to the gun. What do you think might have happened? Did the 4 year old wrestle the gun away from his father? Did he break into a lock box where the gun should have been? There is no excuse for this? Can you come up with any scenario where the father did not act carelessly?
Interesting how you have nothing to say about my contention that the law should require weapons to be secured. Afraid of the NRA Gods also?
Holy shit! Seriously? You're rushing to pass judgement on an incident we know very little about, and you think you're qualified to tell someone ELSE to calm down?
I don't have any idea what happened. And neither do you. Which is my point. Perhaps judgemental, sanctimonious asswipes like YOU feel it necessary to get on a soapbox about what you "think" happened, but save your invitations for me to join you. Please notice in the linked article that there are two investigations into what happened and how being conducted at this time. I'm perfectly fine with letting THEM determine the circumstances and appropriate consequences; but then, I'm a rational grown-up.
By the way, I DID have something to say about your contention. It was the same thing I had to say about everything that spewed from your face anus: spare me the psychic act, and you're a disgusting piece of shit for politicizing personal tragedy.
Next time you don't see the type of answer you want, please just assume it's because this is the answer. No "afraid of the NRA gods" necessary to think you're used chewing gum on my shoe sole.
