Her father later told authorities he had been showing her a Glock handgun he kept in his bedside drawer. He claimed he did not realize the gun was loaded and said he did not know whether his finger was on the trigger when it discharged.
A US grand jury later reviewed the case and declined to indict her father, saying there was not enough evidence to bring criminal charges. The decision came despite the fact that Lucy and her father were alone in the room when the fatal shot was fired.
For real. There’s no excuse to not realize your gun is loaded, and the safety is off. If you really are that fucking incompetent, you shouldn’t be allowed a gun.
the “logic” being your finger shouldn’t be on the trigger anyway until you’re aimed and ready to fire. austrians didn’t have 'muricans in mind when they designed it
there are 3 separate mechanisms stopping the pin from firing inadvertently, until the trigger is pulled. again, the philosophy is “if you’re pulling the trigger, it means you want bullets to come out”
so unless the gun was modified or damaged or otherwise fucked up, the idea that this gun murdered her “by itself” is laughable
setting aside the ignored basic ground-level first principle gun safety rules, i’m calling bullshit on the “i didn’t know it was loaded” bullshit. he pointed and pulled the trigger. glocks don’t “go off” by themselves
then got himself a jury full of 2A magas, no problem
That piece of shit murdered his daughter for tRUMP and guns…and got away with it. Fucks sake.
Things like this need to be prosecuted as negligent manslaughter.

Safety is on the trigger. As genius would have it

You’re telling me Glocks don’t have normal safety catches? Wtf
