Child fires gun found on the sofa. No injuries.

[OneBro]

This is insanity wrapped in ignorance with a side of fried brain.

1. Did it go off again when the jerkwad picked it up?

I hope they were arrested.

[OneBro]

2. Yes, it fired again, and he was arrested.

[viva la]

5. Can a gun just go off when it's picked up?

I was about to say, "Is that safe?" then I thought that was a stupid question.

[OneBro]

6. Under unique circumstances, yes.

I’m always skeptical when I hear of such discharges, but apparently it can happen.

7. Informative article!

[viva la]

8. it happened twice in 2 minutes with that gun

Shame there's no accountability, no requirement for insurance that might make gunmakers more concerned about safety...

[OneBro]

9. I totally agree. An insurance requirement would be a game changer.

In this particular case, I’d imagine the poor kid AND the idiot adult likely touched the trigger.

3. Only moments earlier

another child was only a few feet away.

YEA GUNS!!!!
