The accidental shooting of Eric Thomas, 37, of Marquette over the weekend has resulted in charges being filed.Does this mean if you smack your wife around you lose your guns, but if you "accidentally" shoot someone you don't?
The Michigan State Police arrested a 29-year-old Negaunee on Wednesday. He is facing a charge of careless discharge of a firearm, causing injury or death.
The man is currently out on bond pending his arraignment on April 9. The charge he is facing is a misdemeanor, punishable by up to two years and or a fine of $2,000.
Shouldn't the act of shooting someone, regardless of how it happens, merit more than a slap on the wrist and retention of gun rights? Aren't people who prove they are capable of such gross negligence more likely to repeat their mistake than, say, your general gun owner.
