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.

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.
Yes, that's what I was referring to. Why was he able to acquire firearms?
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.
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.
Just once, I’d like there to be safety laws that people follow before they’re written in blood.
Nah, conservatives love their ignorant freedom.
It's in the constitution, we have to allow dipshits to possess guns, didn't you know!?
Not even political - just everyone, you know? I’ve met a liberal (true liberal, not American liberal) forklift operator that sped through the warehouse all day until they ran someone over. I’ve met a conservative site manager who walked around without a hard hat all the time, I came to find out after I left that they died when a piece of our stock fell on their head. I’ve met a guy who described himself as “apolitical” who kept his gun unsecured in case he needed it - didn’t check his target and ended up shooting his wife.
Human fucking stupidity is the problem, not what politics they have. If American-style conservatives were able to make absolutely certain that human stupidity would not end up getting people killed, I would vote them every day of the week. Same with America’s center-right party, same with the most extreme of the left in the most left-wing country in the world.
I’m just fucking tired of seeing people die because they refuse to use their brains. I’m tired of people letting their ego or their politics or their greed get in the way of survival, let alone progress.
Yes, human stupidity, but only one side seems to glorify a lack of education...
As you say, stupidity is a human problem: We should probably stop enabling the particularly stupid... In fact, I would say the fact conservatism is treated with ANY respect is a PERFECT example of how stupid humans are in general. ... and enlightened centrism for that matter. There is no enlightenment when triangulating from morons.
There’s a reason they say “Regulations are written in blood”
Read the article. This guy was breaking far more laws than just the storage one.
