I'm sure most of you tl;dr'ed the comments, but basically there are some that agree with my logic, strangely enough.
However, most are pointing out how blatantly irresponsible the father was with the firearm in question. I also agree with that viewpoint.
And then there are the fags that keep saying "HURR GUNZ R BAD!!! THAY SHUD BAN ALL GUNZ! NOBODY SHUD HAVE A GUN!!! SPESHALLY THOSE TARTED MURRICANS!!!!" and other sh** of similar views, who obviously tl;dr'ed the entire article, since this was in Saudi ****ing Arabia. To those, I would simply suggest reading the article, and eventually do some much needed research on the US's gun laws and regulations. We're not all gun-toting, trigger-happy serial killers, believe it or not.
