Note to NRA: It's not just "good guys" or "bad guys" with guns. It's also dumbf****s who apparently don't understand that you don't clean loaded rifles around kids.
But notice that this particular dumbf*** dad was able to get visitation with his kid just fine.
Seems we set the bar pretty low for both gun ownership and fathers rights in this country. And this is the result.
