What a scumbag, apparently this is not the first firearms related felony on his record. People like that should not be allowed to keep their children.

[–] SpaceNoodle 27 points 9 months ago (3 children)

Or guns.

He wasn't allowed to keep his guns, he's being charged for that also.

So no enforcement until two-year-olds nearly kill themselves, got it.

He wasn't caught until his daughter nearly killed herself.

[–] SpaceNoodle 3 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Yes, that's what I was referring to. Why was he able to acquire firearms?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Your guess is as good as mine, but there aren't exactly hard to get.

Right, so that's the problem. That's why. That's the answer to my question.

Because believe it or not, gun laws don't stop criminals from doing criminal shit. They only affect law abiding citizens. Criminals will do as they please, some word of paper don't stop them.

If only enforcement were a thing.

Also, if there weren't more guns than people in the country, it wouldn't be so easy to get one.

Yeah even as someone who is aggressively pro 2a (don't disarm the workers), why the fuck does he still have them.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

Yeah I am okay with guns! They are our right but also the gun owners have to be people that know they are dangerous on the wrong hands and should be store properly.
