Armed 3 year old shoots both parents..
 

If only the parents had a gun...

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. - A 3-year-old boy found a handgun in his mother's purse and fired just one shot that wounded both his parents at an Albuquerque motel on Saturday, police said.

According to investigators, the toddler apparently reached for an iPod but found the loaded weapon. Police believe the shooting to be accidental.

"It's a very tricky situation when you're dealing with children, so that's why we need to talk to the adults and find out what happened," said Albuquerque police spokesman Simon Drobik, according to CBS affiliate KRQE.

Obviously these were responsible gun owners which were probably even NRA members. I guess that toddler shooting and killing the mother at Walmart a month or so back was not a lesson learned to this couple..

"Police believe the shooting to be accidental."

I think it might be Stewie.

Who has time to remember where the gun is while they're getting loaded and fucking in a hotel room?

i corrected it for you:

In other news :

Couple crashes car and kills themselves.
I'm sure they were responsible DMV card toting drivers.

People never learn they just keep driving cars.

Was a 3 year old driving?

Sure.....

3-Year-Old Steals Car, Crashes Into House, Denies Everything

If only there were a law that said you have to be a certain age to drive....

Stewie again.

The only way to stop a bad 3 year old with a gun is a good 3 year old with a gun

prents should be more extra careful when carrying loaded guns.

300 plus million Americans and one of them does something stupid, imagine that.

The media are complete morons, where is the newsworthinees in "diapered" and what about fled the scene, did this 3 year old even know he was fleeing?

Haha and how about "denies everything". I guess all is good as long as you get readers....

I wonder when I get to read 3 year old with diapers steals a 747, threatens everyone on it.

One? :1orglaugh Good one :thumbsup :1orglaugh

Yea, at that particular point in time a mother lets her kid have access to her purse which contains a handgun.

With 300 million people the odds are someone is just waiting to do something stupid.

In all seriousness, this is an economic issue, not a gun issue.

"the family was living in a room at the America's Best Value Inn"

A couple with two kids and another on the way are all living in a motel room. Go figure that they didn't have a gun safe.

Fix our economy. Make it so it is more rewarding to work for a living than to be on welfare. Give people like this more opportunity.

If none of that works, then maybe whine about how awesome unconstitutional gun control would be.

what a complete dumb ass.... seriously... armed? :2 cents:

Ok here is a dose of reality for you, because I understand you live In your consertive bubble..

7 people an hour are shot by a gun in this country and 3 people an hour are killed by one. It's a bit more than one random person being dumb at a single moment in time..

I'm sure a better job would of helped the mother a week or two ago whom was shot by her toddler at Walmart.. I'm sorry but no economy is going to change lack of common sense and inability to properly handle a gun.

This is what we are talking about here.. Not so much that guns are dangerous, but any nimrod can own one with next to no training. Lack of training and lack of safe handling makes a gun deadly.. Not a bad or good economy...

Bingo! well said.

wow well you took this in a different direction then I would expect.

They have money for a gun , ammo ... and pizza !!!!

Lack of priorities is why most people can't save money. Sadly we are more worried about teaching kids in school how to pass a test rather than how to take care of themselves in the real world.

Think how far it would go if kids in school had to have a core class in their daily schedule on how to take care of themselves and be responsible.. (sadly many kids do not get this training from their parents because their parents don't know how to take care of themselves much less their kids)

A gun and ammo are presumably left over from better economic times.

Everyone knows one of the hardest things about being homeless is that it is harder to eat affordable food and then the misfortune snowballs. Where do you think they are going to cook in a motel room?

I 100% agree with you that shooting and firearm safety should be taught to everyone.

1. they could have pawned the gun : $$$
2. Motel rooms come also with '' effeciencies '' ( small kitchenette )

BTW, why do they need a gun ? to protect themselves from their kids ? or protect their stasch ?
Definitively not to protect against the so feared '' home invasion '' :upsidedow

Good parenting abd now your dead dumbest parents.

This is what I'm really about as far as guns. I don't have an issue with people owning guns, but training and safety courses should be mandatory. Sadly the NRA lobbyist fight this despite the fact they started as a gun safety organisation vs what they have become which is a gun manufacturer lobbyist firm.

When I took my course for my CW permit, I was actually amazed how little there was to do with safety, but rather most of the class was about legalities of carrying a gun not the responsibility or safe handing.

I think the kid needed the gun to protect himself from the parents.. :1orglaugh

I like pizzas

I believe the NRA has become so corrupt by corporate financial interests that they are essentially useless now. They used to sponsor gun education for kids. If they still do that, they surely do it much more quietly than they lobby for big money.

I don't believe gun training should be required to get a gun, any more than passing a math test should be required to get a bank account. But I deeply believe that our public education system should do a better job of training in both.

And this, once again, is the problem with firearms in America. We hand them out like skittles to anyone who wants them.

Can someone explain to me how a three year was able to grab a firearm?

The firearm was in a purse you say? Well, COMMON SENSE tells you, as a parent, your only purpose is to protect your child. Period. There is no exception to this rule. Any violation of this rule could potentially cause the government to take your child away from you AND lock you up in prison.

This has nothing to do with firearms. It's just common sense. This is why we keep cleaning chemicals out of the reach of children. This is why we keep medicine out of the reach of children. Anything that can cause harm to a child needs to be keep away from children.

harder to kill someone with a bank account then a gun

Oh, and you've got my vote for school board.

I went off to college when I was 16. I was awesome at analyzing literature and algebra, but I didn't know how to balance a checkbook or cook.

I've always wondered about "training" with guns.

What the heck do you "train" people to do when they have a gun? It isn't brain surgery.

"Here is a gun. You put the bullets in like this. Pull the trigger. Bang. Here is the safety. Make sure that is on when the gun is not being fired. And don't point this gun at anybody unless you are meaning to shoot"

Does that really require people to be "trained" and take classes? Are people really that goddamned stupid?
