  Just watched this on On Patrol Live last night. As soon as they opened the door to look for it there was one of those old roller desks under the TV and we were like, “check the desk!”, which of course was the last place they looked, lol.
context: Why do people not understand that you put  your damn gun in a place that a kid can’t get into. >
  
  Because "I grew up around guns and so did my kid and my kid knows it's not a toy"
  ^^ every gun owner with unsecured firearms and children under the same roof. >
  
  I don't have children and the shit is still secured. The only time I ever saw a gun when I was a kid was when it was in pieces being cleaned.
  These people are beyond unsafe. >
  
  Beyond unsafe and actually dangerous, yes.
  People who leave their guns unlocked are unfit to own firearms. >
  
  But... but... if I lock it in a safe properly with a trigger lock, and the ammo stored in a separate location how can I ever live out my wildest fantasy of shooting a home invader and literally creaming every pair of underwear I own?? >
  
  Whoa, those are the guys from Live PD, they still have the show under a different name now?
  And those are terrible parents, kids are so good at finding things, goes to show how poorly secured that gun was. >
  
  It's called on patrol live now, and it's on reelz >
  
  Cheesus H. Crust people are stupid. It is not that hard to store a gun out of reach of a small child or at least get one where the trigger pull is too heavy for a small child.
  Also when the cops called the dad he lied that he didn’t have a gun even though there was security footage of his baby having one in the apartment stairwell. What an asshole! >
  
  If we make gun owners responsible for the crime due to negligence, might be a lot less people wanting to own a gun and a lot more people who do, be more responsible about how they are stored. >
  
  Well, the father of this child got arrested for his actions leading to the child having the gun. The fact that the law prohibited his negligence (although I am not sure what statute he violated in this case) didn’t stop him. >
  
  While this case is a child wondering around with a gun, my point was more so for other cases. Like the kid that shot a teacher or the kid that gets his dads gun and shoots yo a school.  
  If these laws were put into place, more care may be taken when storing your gun securely. >
  
  The people you want to heed this law won’t. Because they don’t think it could happen to them and their child. If they thought it would happen to them, they’d put the gun away safely, regardless of a law being in place or not. >
  
  Yeah, some people won't follow the . So what's the point in having laws, since they just get broken. I mean, every criminal figures they won't get caught.  why have any laws, when it won't stop all crime. >
  
  I’m just pointing out that this won’t be a very good deterrent to the people you want to deter, you’ll just end up punishing people after the fact. I’m not saying this is a bad thing, just that it likely won’t have the effect of deterrence. >
  
  You could make the same argument for drunk driving laws. The fact is these laws will affect some peoples behavior. And if it saves even one life, is it really that much to ask. Especially when all "responsible" gun owners argue that they're already doing it. >
  
  Everytime I, as a foreigner, suggest some kind of gin (gun) control might be useful in the US, I hear a chorus cry of "I'm a responsible gun owner".
  Between this, and in the last hour seeing the clip of the woman with a handgun pressed against the back of her uber drivers seat as some kind of prank...
  Are you though? Are you all just responsible gun owners? I'm sure SOME of you are, but all of you? Evidence is suggesting otherwise. >
  
  I'm American. Its all excuses to sell guns. 98 percent of gun owners aren't proficient with them. Most of the time it's a flex. >
  
  where that comes from? why the flex? so many people unsure of themselves, why? same with giant american cars
  carry a gun does not show your bravery, it just indicates the opposite >
  
  In America, we are given so much bad shit in the news and media as a whole, most Americans l8ve in a state of engendered panic. 
  Also remember.
  The indevidual is smart, responsible. But people are dumb and unpredictable. >
  
  I do believe media and News are to blame, it seems like the major issue to be addressed. 
  Tho… why not gun control? It can be achieved in a short time. Looks like it’s a political issue at this point >
  
  The right wing would love to control the media >
  
  They do. >
  
  i think the guardian, pro publica, PBS  and some small regional publications are still holdouts >
  
  I thought the Guardian was UK? >
  
  There’s a US based division
