It's so wild to me having grown up around guns and plenty of unhinged people. Nobody but the most deranged chuds immediately go into this murderhappy mindset at the slightest startle.
I knew a guy that kept a fuckin AK very unsecured in his bedroom (though he was good about keeping it unloaded and the ammo hidden or locked away). Never once could I have conceived of this guy sprinting to the closet to grab it at a moment's notice. And this is a guy that had a confederate flag hanging in his kitchen (not an explicit white supremacist just a weird guy in the 90s, I think it was actually a real original that was some sort of heirloom it looked like a relic).
Legit all it would have taken is this guy to shout "who's there, get out of my house!" and his daughter would be alive. Chuds have to have some type of inherent death drive or something cuss yeah this is unhinged shit.
I should also add that even if we could have found the ammo, my friends and I were all taught basic gun safety from a very early age and the worst we might have done was some property damage.
This is not in favor of leaving your guns around like that but like, kids aren't morons and if you educate them and instill respect for firearms they become drastically less dangerous.
On top of that you cannot control how other people store or handle their guns and that education can save a life even if you don't personally own one.
Firearms safety should be mandatory in school curriculum so long as we have more guns than people in this country (at the very least, I would argue we've opened pandora's box in that regard and it will always be a necessary thing).

the kid was behaving fine it was the dad who didn't so much not understand guns as he didn't understand that it's a big deal to kill someone
What I was getting at was that this guy was never instilled with respect for or discipline regarding guns if this is how he handles his own.
