I'm always conflicted on these. It's a new phenomenon, going after the parents. For a third grader like this it might make sense, since the parents are clearly (ir)responsible, but I'm still deeply suspicious because this is obviously also antigun nonsense.
The framing is also antigun nonsense. As someone else mentioned, this gun didn't "go off." Guns (almost) never do that...*stares suspiciously at Sig P320*
Guns do "go off" - and are supposed to - when the trigger is pulled, like in this instance.
After the Orlando nightclub shooting, the Leftists tried going after the guy's ex-wife. She hadn't spoken with him in 3 years, but the Rainbow Brigade wanted revenge and the DA really tried to pin it all on her. That case was utter and complete bullshit, and I'm glad it was tossed almost immediately.
In this case, the parent's should be held responsible, if only for not securing their firearm properly. I don't find that to be anywhere near "anti-gun." If you're too much of a shithead to secure your firearms and they end up being used to cause harm, there should be consequences.
Plot twist: What if the kid bought it on his own with his money from slangin'?
I suppose that is a possibility, yes. 🤣
