This is reason #9,278 why conservatives should not be allowed near children.
And reason #53759742269743 why guns should be extremely restricted.
Wtf does this article have to do with conservatives? Liberals and swing voters own guns too, you know.
The difference is most liberals don't want dumb people to have guns. This person might be a liberal, but if other liberals had their way, the girl would still be alive.
While I don't disagree with you on the gun issue. This particular instance just looks like intended murder. I have a feeling this child would have been killed regardless of the gun. You don't just accidentally put a gun to a child's chest and shoot.
Perhaps liberals would be less likely to show off firearms, much less teach how to use them, to a four years old.
Liberals have guns, but liberals aren't stupid enough to point a gun at a child. It's extremely obvious to everyone except conservatives that this woman is a conservative.
Cause there are no stupid liberals....
You really need to ~~touch grass~~ meet a few people. Stupidity spans both sides and all political spectrums.
While you're technically right why don't we all go look up the lowest iq states in the USA and see how they consistently vote,shall we?
You fail to realise that this isn't a matter of liberals vs. conservatives, it's the fact that guns themselves are stupid and legislation rewarding that is archaic and dangerous in the U.S.
This is the kind of lazy comment I would expect to see here. It makes me want to go back to Reddit. What are you, 14?
And this is coming from a liberal
Yes, no liberal has ever murdered a child.
Oh, wait...
The fact alone that this woman is gay goes against your "muh conservative" argument, considering the fact that LGBT is not a conservative concept in the slightest.
It's not stupid when you do something intentionally. You say "liberals aren't stupid enough to point a gun at a child" like this was an accident. She literally pressed the gun up against the child's chest after hitting them with fucking sandals, due to the children failing to wake up fully grown adults and the 4 year old "eating food without permission".
Motherfucker not every damn thing in the news is about politics, this has nothing to do with politics and you have no idea what her political alignment is whatsoever.
Strange, because there are gay conservative groups.
They recently said the GOP convention shouldn't be held in Texas because of the anti-gay laws.
Those people are very confused. Just because they are gay does not mean that lgbt is a conservative concept. You'd have to be either a dumbass or a masochist to vote for the conservatives if you are LGBT.
