The day after an Idaho toddler found a gun in his mother’s purse in a Wal-Mart checkout line and accidentally shot and killed her, the toddler’s grandpa is telling gun control groups to quit grandstanding on the tragedy and quit using the accident to push gun control.
Veronica Rutledge’s father-in-law, Terry Rutledge, described the shooting as “a terrible, terrible accident” and is outraged that gun control groups are treating it as an opportunity.

I must maintain that this tragedy was COMPLETELY preventable!! All the firearms training, and familiarity with such destructive tools notwithstanding, you never leave a loaded firearm within reach of a child. Completely preventable!
ReplyDeleteAgreed, though at a certain age, I did show each daughter where I kept my weapons and instructed them to never touch them unless they were with me. Maybe girls mind better than boys though. :)
