Oh well now, we can't let the state make this boy an orphan!
Now if the parent had marijuana on them, then we could send them to jail and put the kids (I say plural kids here, since if it were marijuana instead of a gun, the 6 year old girl would still be alive) in the foster system.
Or if the parent were black, and pulled over by the cops -- and then the cops shot the parent for reaching for their license because they 'feared for their life', thus making the children fatherless--that TOO would be okay.
But don't DARE make the children 'orphans' because their mom negligently led to the death of another human being. There's absolutely NOTHING that could be done to stop this. Which is why other countries have the EXACT same gun epidemic that we do. The US has an average of 42 gun deaths each day. Japan has 44 per day. Err year. Err 8 years. Close enough, right?

"Tradition" is just a word people use to make themselves feel better about being an asshole.
