Bonnie and Clyde?

The driver probably thought that she had put enough vodka in the kids sippy-cups to keep them asleep 'till they got home .... or, the kids didn't drink it all this time.

Sounds like "Mother of the Year".

Sadly, morons like this, who are not even remotely representative of firearms owners (parents or otherwise), are used as examples against us.

I blame Joe Biden, him and his shotgun ideas.

Its also why we all really need to think is the NRA, and OFF and others representing us well?
Some are, but some are not doing us any favors. Banning bumpstock, and acting like a mad dog is
not who we all are.

We need a publicist, some one to change our image

We need a thousand publicists, but people need to stop doing stupid and angry things with firearms... that just destroys hard work to build image.

That's another one of those things that could never happen because of the CA gun laws. I would think it impossible for a 4year old to purchase a shotgun!

I call shotgun

She was the getaway driver, she thought the kid was going to escape the punishment but turns out it was like @Stomper and Snow.

Child accidentally shoots mother with shotgun from backseat of car

My comment:

How is it that there are four kids under 4 years old in the back seat of a car? Four car seats won't fit on the back seat of a sedan. The law says that kids that age need to be strapped into car seats. If they were strapped into car seats they couldn't reach a shotgun on the floor. This sounds like multiple violations of the law.

The law also says that a shotgun cannot have an overall length of less than 29 inches. How does a 4 year old pick up and point a 6 pound, 42" long shotgun unless it is sawed off to maybe 18 inches and illegal to own?

The law also says that firearms transported in a vehicle must be unloaded. Did the 4 year old somehow load it himself, or was that law being violated too?

It sounds like we have enough laws already to have prevented this incident if they had been followed. Do you think this negligent parent would follow any new laws you enact?

Common sense...it ain't so common.

This story says: "three children were in the backseat"
I still agree, 1, she had to know (or who put the kids there) 2. If they were strapped in, then how?

And, what is an CA Parolee doing with a firearm? I don't know their laws, but it raises a few questions.

I don't often let my pre-school kids shoot my firearms, but when I do, they shoot me!

Shotgun kept for discipline of lil monsters?

It is against the law for a child that age to be anywhere BUT the backseat.
