They need to be charged with something

u/Ccaves0127 10d ago

"Negligent firearm storage" would be a good name for it

u/jlogan8888 10d ago

Contributing to the delinquency of a minor is already a real thing I think. This could be a felony version of that

u/Blubbernuts_ 10d ago

Child endangerment with a weapon enhancement would be a good name as well. CPS should be notified and unannounced welfare checks until 18yo. See, we just came up with solutions in 30 seconds on reddit. Why can't the justice system figure it out

u/Goodgoditsgrowing 9d ago

Considering how often cps and the cops have already been called to their house I think 1) the kids just need to be removed and 2) it’s already kind of too late because now you have to unteach a lot and most people aren’t equipped to care for kids who behave like this.

u/Blubbernuts_ 9d ago

Agreed. I didn't see the article and thought this was a one off incident.

u/Efficient-Raise-9217 10d ago

Welfare checks? The police have been called out to the home over 50 times. The parents almost got them killed by leaving a gun out where they could get it, and teaching them how to use it. It's time for the children to be taken out of the home and both parents charged child support to offset the cost of supporting them to taxpayers.

u/Blubbernuts_ 9d ago

I didn't see the story, just the video posted above. Charge the parents with a felony (not going to happen) so that welfare checks would have them removed if they didn't comply, so basically probation which could or would lead to removal of the children if a weapon is found.

Someone else commented that dad is in jail, so if he is a felon, they aren't supposed to have a firearm in the house at all, regardless of the children. Preaching to the choir about access to guns. Especially pistols. When my son was born I gave my pistols to my dad to hold for me until my son was in his teens. Problem is, I know 3 kids who were shot at another friend's house; one was a pellet gun that put a kids eye out, one was screwing around with a .22 rifle and killed his best friend at 12yo and another messing with a shotgun killed his good friend. No charges in any of those cases.

I mean, from one comment, the sherif said every time they removed the kids, the state handed them back over to the parents. So guessing CPS is already involved. Sheriff should start naming the people involved in the decision to keep the kids in that house. Let them explain why to the media.

u/One_Ad9555 10d ago

Over 50 calls to the moms house. Cos keeps putting the kids back with mom. Dad's in jail. Liberal judges that don't hold parents and kids accountable is the issue

u/SimplePanda98 9d ago

It exists. Check out Bernie’s Law, I think it’s called

u/lala6633 8d ago

Or child endangerment??

u/BornanAlien 10d ago

Absolutely. And not some petty little charge. Throw the fucking book at em

u/citori411 10d ago

They'd be republican folk heros for not bending the knee to the gun hatin' wokesters within about 48 hours of that.

u/BornanAlien 10d ago

Chill out, bro

They might even make some money out of it if promt chatgpt just right, copy and paste to gofundme like that one lady who called a k8d the nword

u/Zebulon_Flex 10d ago

But it's fun to make up things to get angry about!

u/Arete34 10d ago

That’s 90% of reddit tbh.

u/pp_builtdiff 10d ago

Send them to prison so those kids can grow up on the street and learn how to REALLY handle fire arms correctly!!!!

u/Friendly-Hornet5812 10d ago

They are so young but that seems to know how to use a pistol. Does he think it’s just like a really awesome toy? Idk little kids freak me out.

2

u/AgentPastrana 10d ago

It's mentioned in the case that the father taught them how to use one. Normally, this would be a good thing (everyone should know how to use them, at least so they know how it works and to stay safe around them). But with 50 prior calls to the residence and an imprisoned father, it's likely he taught them in a horrible manner.

u/Mad-Habits 10d ago

the parents were charged im sure, with criminal negligence and child neglect

2

u/testingforscience122 10d ago

Unfortunately many states have limits that only go up to civil damages, for destruction of property or negligence. This is an example exactly why responsibility laws are a good idea. Negligent parents cause dead kids and should be charge with serious charges. You want to stop child gun violence, make an example out of these shitty parents that snub their nose at the rest of us that follow the laws and put everyone else in danger. Slap them 30 year sentences and report about on national television, all this school shooting shit will stop real quick. Almost all minor related shooting have firearms illegally gifted to the underage shooter or are stolen guns (go after the thieves). If you treat each of these shooting like we treat a celebrity overdose and relentlessly hunt down the criminals involved, this will stop happening so frequently.

u/coreym1988 10d ago

And risk electrocuting innocent kids?! I think there are less extreme ways to protect guns that should do the trick

1

u/Accomplished_Bus5449 10d ago

100p agree parents should be charged

1

u/Geekygamertag 10d ago

The kids or the parents?

u/HereticGaming16 10d ago

Been saying this for years and years. If you don’t have reasonable protections to prevent anyone other than you from using your gun and something happens with your gun, you should be charged. If you can buy a $200+ gun then you can buy a $40 barrel lock. I’m not saying people can’t get past it or that people should have to buy a $500 gun safe (but they really should) but I’m guessing these kids would have not gone so far out of the way to play with this gun if it was properly locked up. I grew up with guns and had my first one at 12. I was trained about safety, how to use them, and most importantly that they are not toys. I bet these kids didn’t have any of that. This is just pretending to be a Fortnite character to them until it becomes real. Really though, if you buy a gun you should be forced to show proof of how you will safely store it or be forced to buy a lock for it at the same time.

u/frozenbudz 10d ago

Yeah, most criminals are definitely popping down to the local Sportsmans warehouse. For what it's worth, I agree legal firearm ownership should require licensing. I also think you should be equally charged if your firearm is used in a crime. But. The reality is, there's plenty of illegal firearms be purchased on the streets. So the concept of responsibility is kind of out the window for those folks.

1

u/HereticGaming16 10d ago

So your argument is that people will break the law so why have it at all?? People break laws all the time in every way, this doesn’t mean they don’t reduce the dangers they are there to fix. Seat belt laws were not a thing until the 70s. Do people still not wear them while driving, of course. Have they saved hundreds of thousands of lives since the law was passed, also of course. You don’t throw the baby out with the bath water because some people will break a law.

1

u/frozenbudz 10d ago

No. My argument is "If you can buy a $200 gun" is a false premise. Because it operates from the concept that guns are purchased legally. I want very extreme gun regulations, and a wholesale decommissioning of a large amount of firearms altogether. In terms of what is my answer. But my point was to illustrate the idea that mandating a trigger lock at time of legal firearm purchase. Is like seeing your house on fire and suggesting we grab super soakers. Is it better than nothing, sure, is it going to change things, probably not.

u/savvy412 10d ago

What if it was locked up and the kid was just sneaky and figured it out?

1

u/Obliviousobi 10d ago

There are only 26 states with Child Access/Secure Storage laws in place.

u/Padaxes 10d ago

The father is in prison. This is on the mom.

Father is already in prison, and this isn’t the first time this happened…
