    Wtf are the kid’s parents doing? Like, how does a 6 year old smuggle a loaded weapon out of the house? And why would they even have that in the house? (I know it’s in the US, that last question was more of a rethorical one.)

      From what I remember about this case the mother had terrible gun safety (obviously) and the child was mirroring terrible behaviors he’d seen from the father. The father has been accused of aiming a gun at an extra [ex]girlfriend and attempting to choke out another.
