“How many of your kids have access to guns in your own home? A bunch of you, including mine. I think it’s a mistake and I think that you pointing fingers at him for doing something like this is wrong,” a parent said to the crowd.
Wait, does Texas have no laws covering the storage of guns when children are present? No… of course they don’t. (Adults are just liable if something happens.) I was thinking this guy shouldn’t just resign, but be charged - but it seems like there might not be an applicable law. Shit, even so, the idea that it’s wrong to be mad at a superintendent because he left a loaded weapon where random small children would find it…
“There was never a danger other than the obvious,” Stuteville claimed.
The absolute fuckery on display here. The obvious danger is that a child would hurt or kill themselves and/or another person. Or multiple people. That’s a pretty fucking big obvious danger to just dismiss - there’s really nothing bigger. But the added absurdity of claiming that non-obvious dangers didn’t exist? That’s not even true. There’s lots of conceivable less-obvious dangers (e.g. that a child would find the gun, take it home and it would end up in the hands of criminals) that are by no means excluded from this situation. That asshole just really, really wanted to say “there was never a danger,” when obviously there was.
