North Carolina 10-Year-old Dead - Dad Was Cleaning a Gun

Local news reports

A Fairmont man accidentally shot and killed his 10-year-old son while cleaning his shotgun on Sunday, according to the Robeson County Sheriff’s Department.

Christopher Stanlane Jr., of 818 Gaddy Road, died from a gunshot wound to the head, according to sheriff’s Capt. Anthony Thompson. Thompson said officials responded to a call at 3:24 p.m. and pronounced Stanlane Jr. dead.

Thompson said that the boy’s father, Christopher Stanlane Sr., 34, was sitting on the couch and cleaning his 12-gauge shotgun while Stanlane Jr. sat on the floor in front of him and watched television. Stanlane Sr. had the butt of the gun on the floor and was wiping the side of his gun when a shot was accidentally fired, according to Thompson.

I'm so sick and tired of gun-rights activists telling us that everyone has a right to own guns with as few qualifications and restrictions as possible. The result is daily stories like this one.  Irresponsible, unfit but LAWFUL gun owners doing stuff like this, preventable stuff like this.
