The problem is there are not enough 2yo’s with guns!
If only there had been a ‘good’ 2yo with a gun nearby to stop him…

Exactly, why should this guy be out? He’s already violating order to stay away from that house, he’s a felon in possession…

If there’s anyone I can think of who should not be out, it’s this guy.

The more guns there are around, the more gun accidents there will be. I think of this every time someone says teachers should be allowed to bring guns to school “for the children.”

Don’t forget arguing that no gun control law could ever work, since this guy was still able to get a handgun when he shouldn’t have had one. Anything to avoid admitting that guns might be the problem.

Thankfully they’re too young to remember it. I’ve read too many accounts of older kids accidentally shooting siblings and… I can’t even finish the thought it’s so horrifying.
