    Nichols was not permitted to own a firearm due to a previous drug-related conviction, according to police.

    Sometimes I’m disappointed that being this much of a fucking idiot isn’t a crime.

        That was already illegal. Now it’s also a crime to keep your gun somewhere a child can get to it.

          So what everyone was keeping their guns on the shelf by the front door prior to this were they?

            Have you seen some of the setups for quick firearm retrieval? There’s one where you basically hit your beds headboard and a shotgun falls out. I would be killing in my dreams.

            They apparently were keeping them unlocked on top of cupboards.

        I mean on its own. Like, this guy has already shown he’s a fucking idiot, what can we do to keep society safe from him before he does something irresponsible and gets a child killed?
