Benton police charge parents in accidental shooting death of two-year-old

[LiberalArkie]

The Benton Police Department has announced the manslaughter arrest of parents in the death of a two-year-old who shot himself in the head with a .45 pistol in his home. KARK previously had identified the child as Doyle David Ashley.

More details to follow.

It's the second arrest in a week of adults connected with guns used by children in apparently accidental shootings. Little Rock police charged a woman who left her nephew in a car with a Glock last week. He fatally wounded himself.

1. When I was around 4 years old,

my 6-year-old neighbor invited me over to his house to show me something. He opened the drawer of an end table and inside was a gun. I guess it was real, because his father started cussing up a storm about that, and I high-tailed it out of there.

2. Good guy gun owners who have a gawd-given right to bear arms and babies

should not be held responsible if their child is possessed by the debil.

5. Don't know, but why does they always keep one in the chamber?

Can a 5-year-old .22-caliber Crickett rifle?
"Investigators said the family didn't realize the gun was loaded."




Also I don't think a 2-year-old can load a Glock .45!!
