[–] zr0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 34 points 6 months ago (2 children) Mhm, an accident. You don’t accidentally: load a gun pick the gun up disengage the safety point the gun at a person put the finger on the trigger The trigger can be very sensitive and you can accidentally shoot a gun. After all other safety precautions have been purposefully violated The justice system in the US is quite unjust. permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 13 points 6 months ago I'm surprised they didn't return on "negligence causing death" or so. The bar is lower. But he was a red-stater, so maybe that's ...okay, now? permalink fedilink source parent [–] fadedmaster@sh.itjust.works 1 point 6 months ago what makes this worse is he was shooting a Glock. They have a different "safety" altogether. Designed specifically to prevent accidental discharge. He didn't drop the gun or something. He had to put his finger on the trigger. permalink fedilink source parent
