Effin' Idiot Gun-Loving Parents -- Charge the Assholes
I do not understand why there is ever a question as to whether a parent should be charged with negligence when a toddler gets a hold of a loaded gun and shoots it.
I don't care if the idiot parent rambles on about how he/she told the child never to touch the gun and/or gave the child "gun safety" lessons. That's plain shit-for-brains parenting that endangers the life of others. The parent should be charged, fined, made to take parenting courses, and lose gun-owning privileges for life -- at minimum, IMO.
This little cutie is 3-year-old Michael Holzworth. His dad, Jon Holzworth, loves his arsenal of guns; even touts them on his bumper stickers. When his wife was fighting for custody of the kids a year ago, court docs show she was afraid to leave the kids alone with him for any length of time because of the guns (they've since reconciled). Jon's response: "My (gun) hobby is no more dangerous than if I were to collect stamps," he wrote. What a crock of shit.
^ Michael was shot in the mouth/face at his home by a 4-year-old neighbor 3 days ago when the neighbor got a hold of Michael's dad's gun. Michael's mom was at a funeral and his dad was supposed to be watching the boys.
Miraculously, Michael survived -- he is getting set for reconstructive nasal and plastic surgery this week. I hope Michael and the neighbor boy get through the trauma alright and I hope Jon Holzworth is held responsible legally for his negligent idiocy.
