    I have a few guns and specifically bought a safe as soon as my daughter was born for this exact reason. Dude is a fucking sociopath and I hope his toddler shoots him and no one else.

    I can’t help but expect her to be murdered by him some day, not necessarily in a fit of rage or something, although that’s possible. I’m assuming he hears a noise in the house and unloads a full magazine into the shadowy stairwell that she was walking up after getting a drink of water.

        Grief counselling just consists of showing the child the fathers Facebook posts and telling them they’re braver than the troops because the person they domed was actually probablly armed.

      The first thing that crossed my mind when I read this story. Lady, your daughter is suggesting that a very cool thing happen to your partner.

            Hm, fair point. I’d just rather maaaybe if vets are showing an interest in our discussions we not immediately name call and wait a bit to see. It’s a past tense description – can’t undo it, can only move forward.

            Plus, name calling is so much more fun when you’re certain it’s deserved sickubus

                Yeah, socialist hopes for getting the military on your side have only been successful when the material conditions were overwhelmingly terrible. If a troop or a vet tries to use their status as a troop or vet to make a point beyond possible tactics, if they try to excuse in any way being a stooge for the US Empire, they’re not helpful or useful.

                I know this maybe isn’t “tactical”, but if you were a troop you are irredeemable for your direct role in US Empire and will be going to hell unless you make an effort to genuinely try and help tear it back down. We won’t be winning any troops on our side, might as well venerate the ones who care enough to help anyway.

                Edit: This is however what I’ve gathered personally over time, I’ve not found any convincing literature that supports that troops or vets may help as a force for socialist revolution in the imperial core, and I’ll happily be convinced with evidence or a properly backed piece of theory.

                  no “unless” about it. no amount of good deeds can erase the crimes of the past. you cannot “make up” for killing innocent people.

                  not to say someone in that position can’t be useful in some way but they will never reach a point where they’ve fed enough homeless people to somehow overwrite their atrocities or whatever

        Damn! I wonder why the majority of US Vets are fucked up selfish people who don’t care about hurting those around them.

        It’s okay to murder children overseas but not in the USA (unless they are Black or brown, then it’s fine).

        If it was an accident (and were pre assuming this person actually has a conacience) they’d be horrified.

        The fact he immediatly goes into “muh rights” means this person is facilitating their child killing themselves to own the libs.

            A large percentage of males in this country made “don’t tell me what to do” their entire personality.

            I’ve been saying for a while we could solve a lot of issues if we came out and loudly said a major tenant of socialism is we believe you shouldn’t wrap your head up in plastic bags.

      • idk, smells of incompetence to me. Everyone knows to keep their loaded, unsecured firearms under their pillow instead of just letting it all hang out on the edge of the bed.

      As a military wife she probably gets uprooted regularly and has no chance to ever build any sort of relationships with people off-base. It’s never that simple.

        That’s true, but if this guy does this again (and he will, soon), and the daughter dies, the OP will absolutely go to jail too. For a very long time. Probably longer than if she blew the guys head off

          Yeah, maybe not permanently leave him necessarily, but remove the daughter from the situation until she can guarantee the gun will be kept properly in a safe. You wouldn’t let your kid play in a field with a land mine. This is a similar situation.

  • the move is to take the gun, put it in his mouth, and blow his brains out.

    it’s not gonna be a hard pitch to sell it as a suicide where you tried to stop him and there was a struggle.

    NTA, the Founding Fathers fought and died so that you could have the freedom to leave loaded handguns around your personal domicile. Leftist authoritarians hate this, of course.
