Of course it’s in America.
America. That is all. Every house needs a loaded gun
Education, not legislation.
Wow.. stupid people
Where did the gun come from? Is it an illegal gun that came across the border and is this going to be a story where the parents are shady, like the 7 yr old who was shot by somebody who intended to hit someone in the same house as the 7 yr old?
Rule 1 of gun safety: always assume a gun is loaded until you prove it safe to handle. This story just underlined the importance of teaching kids about gun safety
And now some Canadian news from New York Post:
Guns don't kill... stupid people with guns do!!!
Dear Canadians, it’s yet another terribly slow news day in Canada. We at CTV news Canada decided to purchase this tweet from USA, Eh ? And retweet it to you and our Canadian audience, eh ? There’s nothing happening in Canada. Except hockey & Tim Hortons.
More CNN TRASH ..
The babysitter was taking selfies, with a gun......? What kind of sick & twisted new technology is that now
So lock up your weapons for safety but then you can't defend against intruders. Or accidents like this happen. It's a lose-lose scenario.
‘Merica
Use a camera instead
So sad...why was there a loaded gun in the house?.....Someone was NOT a responsible adult...😢😢🙏❤️🇨🇦
I support people being allowed to have guns. But not if they’re so irresponsible that something like this could happen. Seriously, how’d the babysitter access the gun?
Guns are SO awesome...sarcasm intended
Going hard against the guns once again I see, 275 people shot in Chicago alone vial ILLEGAL gun violence - ILLEGAL GUNS
The writer of the article seems to think the babysitter is negligent. Sure but what about the idiot that leaves a loaded gun lying around his house WITH a TEN YEAR OLD BOY. He is the one who should be charged.
Stupid people and guns seem to have an affinity for one another.
Every conservative that read the headline was praying it happened in Toronto and they were black. There would be 50 thousand comments from them. But it's Florida....carry on...That's con country
It would be great if you could add the fact that this was in Texas in the headline.
Idiot!
Guns don’t kill pe...
