  1. I do not believe a two year old could apply enough pressure to pull a trigger.

  2. Kids duty is to Taking out the trash.

  3. 5 people living in a rented bedroom? Did I hear that correctly?

  4. What if the dad was the one who left the gun within reach of the 2 year old, then would you still charge the mother?

  5. ha ha ha from Canada 🇨🇦

  6. Im not so sure how can a 2 year old can fire a gun. In my opinion, the 5 year old kid is more likely the culprit then puts the blame to his younger sibling.

  7. May God have mercy! Glocks don't have safety levers on them so if a cartridge is chambered making the gun 'hot', it's ready to fire. This is so, so sad. The little baby didn't know what he was doing, but he killed his father.😢

  8. Looks to me like mum is guilty, but so was the father himself.

  9. Our fears of the unknown lead us to feel we need a firearm to protect ourselves, family and property as the reason use by the majority of handgun owners.
    With that said, everybody who legally or illegally secures a weapon NEEDS commonsense first and then should take a gun safety training course to avoid incidents like this and the famous, "I didn't think it was loaded" accidents.
    Let's be honest, a Glock is not generally used for hunting or competitive shooting but to give a sense of protection (or a sense of being a badazz) to those who are fearful in their world.
    400 million plus guns in the U.S. will lead to more of this type of news report, just watch and see.

  10. Both parents had criminal backgrounds and probation-parole terms state No Guns. That is why she is facing charges.

  11. All the had to do was put it high on a shelf. I grew up on a farm an we used to keep an AR loaded hung above the back door for when coyotes attacked the sheep.

  12. Can the US govt be charged for manslaughter or genocide or war crimes when they bomb infants, toddlers and children??? I guess not.

  13. What mother and father leaves a loaded gun just sitting around with 3 small children? And they were on parole. What trash

  14. Can a two years old pull the trigger? Did he have enough strength?

  15. How did the mother, a felon, have access to a firearm? How did the child get access to it? No control over dangerous weapons. There are stricter control over medications, pesticides, cleaning fluids, cigarettes, and alcohol.

  16. This is why you should have to have served In the army, or have to get a license proving you've been properly trained to own a firearm.

  17. I appreciate you and your content < Technical Analysis is good but I find It truly baffling that major crypto youtubers just look mostly at pure T.A and completely ignore the bigger narrative of why BTC is pumps/pumped and why the future outlook will be even rosier than it seems. It's kinda irresponsible to ignore the fact that each ETF launch so far has caused a major dump at the peaks of BTC. We were already on shaky footing with historically low volume and almost pure whale pumps, narrowly avoiding a long-term bear market. More emphasis should be put into day trading as it is less affected by the unpredictable nature of the market. I have made over 14 btc from day tradng with McCord Kobe insights and charts.His been one step ahead of other analysis…

  18. the young ones are teaching us about gun violence and they are surprisingly violent for 2 years old. the parents deserved it. any parent whose 2 year old shoots them deserves it. We need to blame the victim more. And the pigs.

  19. We need a law where people need to pass an IQ test before they can have kids.
