If only there was a good 4-year-old with a gun to stop him.

That headline is the most American sentence I have read in a long time!

The child’s mother said she and her son stopped at Burger King to get breakfast when she learned that her dog had been run over and killed. She said that in her grief, she did not notice that her son had grabbed a Glock from the truck’s glove compartment.

The woman said the child pointed the gun at her and fired, hitting his own index finger.

Officers responded to the Burger King in Dacula, Georgia, where they found the child. He was taken to a children’s hospital for treatment.

Gun safety expert Tim Downing said there are a few things parents should remember to prevent accidental shootings.

Well i feel bad for the dog.

I wonder what country that could be?

“A few things parents should remember…”

Not reproducing would be a start.

Darwinism in Georgia, honesty the only thing that surprised me is that it wasn't a waffle house parking lot.

Every gun owner thinks they're a responsible gun owner.

He couldn't wait until he got to a school? Kids these days... no self control. /s

Where did he mean to shoot himself?

Glad they ruled out attempted suicide in the headline

Ended up being attempted matricide

What a traumatizing day for that kid. Poor doggo.

This is why it's so important to teach kids to shoot early. My two year old loves to drop mag and show clear on her nerf gun, it's super cute

Literally the ONLY way to Prevent a 4 Year Old from Shooting himself is if Someone had SHOT him First!

Poor puppy.

The kid was immediately offered a job at ICE and his Mom was to, as a senior firearms safety trainer.

This could have happened to anyone.

Our 4 year olds need better training.

If only there was a good accident with a gun

Tell me his parent(s) will go to jail.

Accidentally.... sure Jan

/s

I'm confused the article says the kid pointed the gun at the mother and pulled the trigger. What part of that means he shot himself?
