I think my favorite quote from the article is from a mother whose husband was prosecuted for leaving the gun UNDER THE SOFA CUSHIONS for their 3-year-old to find, and then the kid shot himself:
He's THREE YEARS OLD, lady. Kids that age don't know it's bad to stick their fingers up their butts and then suck on them, even though you've probably told him a million times not to.
What is UP with this? Are we really that crazy and stupid a people?
Quote: Lucas’s father, Joshua Heagren, had tried to teach the 3-year-old to respect firearms. The boy had gotten a .22 rifle for Christmas, and his father showed him how to fire it. But he also warned him to handle it only when an adult was present.
“He never even attempted to touch guns when Josh wasn’t around,” Lucas’s mother, Kaitlin Campbell, testified at Mr. Heagren’s trial, where he was convicted of negligent homicide and endangering children. “He knew.”
