I have to see my son on his birthday and try to convince him to leave. His boyfriend is Trans.
On purpose, too. It does boggle the mind.
My father is a drumpf loving dumbass too. At one point he threatened me over the phone, saying that there was a "war coming," and I should "pick the right side."
I think what happened is the dad brought her into the bedroom to threaten her with the gun, pointing it right at her, and then "accidentally" fired. But how much of an accident can you call it, when you point a loaded hand-gun at someone, with the safety OFF, and your finger ON the trigger?
In the fathers eyes, it was an accident. But we all know that's bullshit.
I carried a small baby and a ladder with me to the alligator pit at the zoo. I set the ladder up next to the pit, I climbed to the top of the ladder and held the baby out over the alligator pit. But oh no officer! The baby just, whoops! slipped through my hands! Purely accidental! I definitely didn't want to feed my baby to the alligators!
He murdered his daughter because he valued a rapists lies over his daughters life. He's a piece of shit, and I hope his every waking moment is haunted.
We ARE at war. Anyone still harboring hope for a true-believer Trumper is like the person in the zombie movie fighting the other survivors screaming, "There's still a human being in there!"
He created a scenario where an accident was very very likely because some part of him is willing to take great risks with other people's lives just to defend his own ego.

no criminal case was brought against Kris Harrison after a grand jury in Collin County declined to indict him.
WTF
Minimum common sense response to this should be a push to require safeties on all new firearms sold in the US and mandatory gun safety classes for ownership. I'm not sold on this being an accident but even if it was both of those measures would go a long way to preventing deaths by firearm and not be an unreasonable burden on gun owners.
Not all safeties are created equal. Some are push button style or switches that need to be toggled, possibly could have helped in this case if it was accidental. Others, like one of mine, simply need the gun held properly to be able to fire, most likely that would not have helped this situation. Safeties are predominantly meant to prevent misfires by dropping it, or mishandling the weapon.
However, one of the core gun safety rules is to never point your weapon at anything you do not intend to destroy. Safety or not.
I’m sure by the end of the week the MAGA cult will reveal that she was actually a “thug” who kicked in ICE’s tail lights or listened to Latin music or something else they find a murder-worthy offense.
All of them are like this. It's just sad there’s too much law-cope.
It's weird that we've abandoned linking to the article (which describes the killing as the result of him clumsily showing off his new glock to his daughter shortly after dinner) and defaulted to a link to an article to a screenshot of a tweet by some random internet influencers looking to stir the pot.
What is a tragedy resulting from people treating guns as toys has been rewritten as some kind of premeditated culture-war driven murder.
"I know we just had a fight and you went to another room to be alone, but check out my cool new gun that is loaded with the safety off and pointed in your direction!"
JFC.

The killer said it was an accident and there are no living witnesses.
It is never an accident when you pick up a gun in a political argument.
It is never an accident when you pick up a gun in a ~~political argument.~~
If you pick up a gun and don't clear it. You are negligent.
If you point a gun at someone. You are negligent.
If you are not taking any safety precautions when handling a firearm. You are negligent.
100% this here. If you're negligent with a firearm you're responsible.
Not in Texas apparently.
Reminds me of back in the 1950's and before when getting black out drunk and running over someone was an "accident".

Suddenly the right will be very pro second amendment watch.
Oh of course, it's one of their guys with the gun this time.

I know for sure the best time to clean my pistol is during a heated argument.

I think the bigger issue is neither link highlights the fact that he is facing zero consequences for any of this.
