Why, pray tell, would a woman trust her children with a convicted felon? Number one, and well again a loaded gun around children….WTF

Was Rodrick in legal possession of the gun...?

😞 just heartbreaking daddy should have known better and should do some time for that

The entire gun debate boils down to this... Some people can't imagine unintended consequences.

GOP: Is the gun okay? Because we care about our guns more than life.

Guns are dangerous toys

RonDeSantisFL to blame also

1-year-old fatally shot by 8-year-old playing with gun in Florida motelAn 8-year-old who found his father’s gun accidentally shot and killed a 1-year-old and wounded a 2-year-old at a Florida motel over the weekend, officials say. Dads fault Riddle me this. How does a “good guy” with a gun protect his family from the gun that is suppose to protect his family. Guessing another “good guy” with a gun was needed. Tragic but completely preventable if the parent had properly stored their firearm. Even a law does not prevent idiocy
