man cleaning a handgun in York shot his 3-year-old

[son of the revolution]

I may get smacked for this, but it's worth it.

This guy needs to lose his guns and go to jail. There is NO excuse or circumstance that would have me handling a loaded weapon with kids around, especially toddlers. Holstered or locked or some other SAFE situation - but handling it????? NFW!!!!!

I've said it before and say it again - CLEANING has become an excepted PC excuse for ND's and WE are allowing it to happen. Even thinking about handling that gun for a minute and this would not have happened. I don't know what he was doing but "dicking" with it, or showing off, or CUTTING CORNERS by not making the area safe, come to mind. This is WRONG and should be punished, period.

Rant off.

Uh yea, your painting with an awfully big brush there. My now almost 6 year old has been shooting my Ruger 10/22 with my help since age 4 and she now can properly identify all the parts and re assemble my Ruger .45 pistol by her self.
