Prayers for the children. I hope they get the support they are going to need in this difficult time.

Didn't see that one coming.

This is what happens when gun safety isn't done correctly. You end a life. It could be yours, your spouse or God forbid your kids. Guns are not a laissez-faire thing. Its a responsibility. Like a car only a fuckton more deadly.

Very sad she should had a gun lock on her gun and never allowed her children in her purse now they’re going to feel the guilt of taking their Moms life so sad 😟

Feel bad for those kids. Imagine growing up knowing you killed your mother because she was too dumb to secure her gun. So very sad.

Occurrences like these would be the order of the day if stricter rules aren't implemented

I'm sure the NRA is celebrating. Why couldn't those kids have been Marjorie Taylor Greene's kids?

Just some good kids with a gun

Phoughts and trayers.

Now comes the onerous task of figuring out who the baby daddies are. 5 by 25?

Terrorism in Nigeria are done by fulani tribe, the army fulani officers like Buratai,defense minister Bashir all fulani,they sponsor fulani from sahel to bomb and attack Nigerians while they are looting money. Their agenda is to islamize the whole country which is impossible.

This is a small price to pay for freedumb. Feeling sorry for these people is exhausting. I don't think I have it in me anymore. I've been broken by these fucking assholes.

Well there's some kids that will grow up very not well adjusted.

Thoughts and prayers

Just a small sacrifice that’s made on occasion for our glorious 2nd Amendment rights! Well worth it.

Well she's alot 'safer' now 🙄

Broken

Omg what is wrong with you people? Seriously

Guns don't kill people...kids of people with guns do

RT : A North Carolina mom was 'inadvertently' shot and killed when her children found a gun in her purse, police say. Thoughts and prayers are with this family at this very difficult time. God Bless

More investigation should be made before judge

Hi NRA

Ah, yes the well regulated militia strikes again! No good guy with a gun?

First

And those kids will live with that guilt forever.

Hmmm.... I guess this is responsible gun ownership. She died and her kids have to live with that.

Freedumb ain't free....

NRA

Who carries a gun in their purse?

Here come the anti gun people

And that’s why A) guns have a safety and B) teach your children about the dangers of guns.

'guns make us safer' - says the country with a per-capita gun death rate that isn't even in the same universe as any other developed country

I'm torn between sadness for those poor kids and a sense of 'Darwinism in action.' They didn't deserve to lose their mom, but leaving a a loaded gun in her purse where they could get hold of it was a stupid, stupid, STUPID thing to do. I'm just glad none of the kids was killed.

Why would she a loaded gun in her purse

What is wrong with law enforcement? The 1st rule of peacekeepers no shooting until you are fired upon. Why are so many cowards carrying guns?

If only they had an armed guard there. This would of stopped everything. 🙄 NRA GOP

I remember when the NRA was all about gun safety. Sigh.

More Guns!!! You get a gun and you get a gun!!

Horrible. My deepest sympathies to this family

My sympathy for these types of incidents is exhausted. Get your house in order America. Absolutely madness that a woman has a gun around children. Ffs!

Tragic and unnecessary.

Joe Biden’s America

FALSE FLAG!! The kids are on George Soros payroll.

Good kid with a gun? 'All gun owners are responsible gun owners, until they aren't' - me

I’m sure the NRA loves this !!! A gun in every home !!!! BanTheNRA GunsAreBAD the NRA is a Domestic Terror Organization!!!

I am Canadian but I can't believe the number of Americans who believe they are safe(r) with a gun. May she rest in peace. Very sad that this continues to happen. Less guns=less death.

OMG! 💔

BuT gUnS aRe NeVeR tHe PrObLeM

The oldest kid was in another room? Unless there are step-children here or multiples, he's at best 11 and the youngest is 6 at best (probably younger)? Very tragic for all. Prayers for all those involved, now and the coming years.

Responsible gun owners, amirite?

You must take special precautions around young children. Of course a 25 year old mother of five, most likely doesn’t have the support or training to know these things.

Waiting for a tweet from nut jobs mtgreenee and laurenboebert

The price of freedom

Antifa, you say

Get rid of guns, simple

Fight with your fists, not with guns. Use pepper spray, not guns. Guns r dangerous.

Thoughts and prayers from the NRA . . .

Good thing that gun was used to protect her from a bad guy.

it’s always on february

If only there had been good kids with guns there to stop the bad ones...

Tragic and Avoidable and Preventable and ....

Oh no, guns don’t kill people; only bad people with guns kill people! Lol.....

5 kids by 25. Damn

This happens too often here. And now a child gets to live with that guilt for the rest of their life. Awful!

Yeah, because having 2 incomes and a Dad is terrible.

GMA I was a solo mom *within* a marriage: my (now estranged) partner never cared to be a parent: oh well, whenever it amused him or he needed to show off, but never in the day-to-day. I also would envision those other couples - dads - and grieve for something I/my kids didn’t have.
