No one in Texas thinks this is acceptable behavior, no one in the US thinks this is acceptable behavior, and it doesn’t happen because people think its okay — it happens because legally and socially we’re not supposed to interfere with how others raise their children, and there is a low barrier to entry to having a child - lower than adopting a pet from a shelter.

In fact, the more irresponsible they are the more likely they will have a child in the first place.\nSo while some want to make this about the gun, it would have been a knife or a baseball bat or a car or poison or something else. Punish the parents who didn’t raise their child right and who didn’t lock their gun up properly, not the guy next door who always locks his up and has experiences of being robbed and attacked and needed a gun.\nAs long as there are negligent, irresponsible, misguided, ignorant, criminal parents, there will be situations like these with the kids.

No one in Texas thinks this is acceptable behavior, no one in the US thinks this is acceptable behavior, and it doesn’t happen because people think its okay — it happens because legally and socially we’re not supposed to interfere with how others raise their children, and there is a low barrier to entry to having a child - lower than adopting a pet from a shelter.

In fact, the more irresponsible they are the more likely they will have a child in the first place.\nSo while some want to make this about the gun, it would have been a knife or a baseball bat or a car or poison or something else. Punish the parents who didn’t raise their child right and who didn’t lock their gun up properly, not the guy next door who always locks his up and has experiences of being robbed and attacked and needed a gun.\nAs long as there are negligent, irresponsible, misguided, ignorant, criminal parents, there will be situations like these with the kids.
