It's totally plausible, depending on the firearm and condition of it. There's a reason it's not a great idea to load an SKS indoors, as the simple act of letting the bolt close can set off 1-3 rounds from a stuck firing pin. No need to touch the trigger and the safety won't stop it.

That out of the way, I still can't fathom people that try to clean the firearm without checking it first. It's complacency at its finest...
"oh I've handled firearms for years, it's totally fine" *pulls trigger on a loaded weapon, because it became routine*

Ok, complacency might not be the correct word, but y'know what I mean. Laziness from becoming too comfortable with something potentially deadly, so let's ignore simple rules.

Fucking patriarchy man

Happens more often than you think, people like these are what make gun owners look bad. I've seen so many dumb things happen at the range from complete strangers.

Everyone's a responsible gun owner until they shoot their kid twice

The woman initially told officers someone shot the child after trying to snatch her purse, according to the Detroit Police Department.

Yeah, I'm a lot less likely to believe the "I accidentally shot my kid twice" story when it's not even the first made up story they went with.

Ok so with this. I'm fine with banning weapons that have proven to be faulty like that. I'm pro second ammendment as it gets but safety functions better work I won't even load 2 guns I own cause I've read where they are prone to discharging if dropped. One has a recall on it I just never got around to and the other is old as hell and apparently banned from being imported because of it

Faulty safety mechanisms should be punishable to gun companies. I was almost killed at two cause of a faulty safety mechanism on a gun

She watched breaking bad and got the wrong definition of cleaner

Always confirm your kills.

The firing pin malfunction is a low chance and usually for those that don't care for it. It's still a chance, though. If you really wanna boggle your mind, there's the Yugoslav M59/66 variant with a... get this, grenade launcher system integrated into the barrel. It's only illegal in CA last I checked, but good luck not blowing yourself up using it. The rifle also has the benefit of garand thumb as well.

Sad thing is there's worse offenders in circulation.

Well I'll just say I want safety standards on guns to be qs tight as possible without it requiring it potentially too long to unlock the gun . Why I argue against fingerprint scanners. It's taken me 10 minutes before on a fingerprint scanner for various reasons that could also be the case at home.

TC, complacent is actually the PERFECT word for what youre describing. While its often used as a synonym for laziness, complacency comes from a place of overconfidence or "good enough".

So many accounts in here I've never seen before

Hmmm

So she put her child in harms way twice. Because her gun is more important than her daughters safety. Yep, throw her in prison.
