Democommie expresses this rather strongly, but his point is a good one. We're all sorry for the suffering your mother has undergone, but that doesn't change the fact that the bad results of recklessness with guns is not limited to just those "in the family."

She didn't think the police department responded fast enough, Ballin said. Police records don't show a report filed for that incident."<br /><br />Also, it's not apparent from the news story if Ms. Ward was saying that the cops or her son were lying about her handing the loaded gun to her son, ""to play with".<br /><br />I cannot believe that there is not yet a sit-com on about a family that stupidently shoots their kith, kin, neighbors and random strangers who, of course, pose a threat.democommiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08714733977927594559noreply@blogger.com
