A Michigan man whose 2-year-old daughter shot herself in the head with his revolver last week pleaded not guilty after becoming the first person charged under the state’s new law requiring safe storage of guns.

Michael Tolbert, 44, of Flint, was arraigned Monday on nine felony charges including single counts of first-degree child abuse and violation of Michigan’s gun storage law, said John Potbury, Genesee County’s deputy chief assistant prosecuting attorney.

Tolbert’s daughter remained hospitalized Wednesday in critical condition from the Feb. 14 shooting, Potbury said. The youngster shot herself the day after Michigan’s new safe storage gun law took effect.

Where does the 2A say anything about "immediate self-defense"? Oh that's right, no where. Fuck SCOTUS

In the context of the second amendment what do you think the word bear means? I'm not convinced that this law would violate what I think bear means. If it's not on or near your person, I don't mind it needing to be locked.

The word "bear" means whatever SCOTUS says it means. Much like "arms." And "right." And "infringed." And "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State."

And fuck whoever decided these posts fall under the definition of "speech" too, right? Right?

Except these posts don't fall under free speech

Sure they do. I can make whatever criticisms of the government that I want and they can't prosecute me for it. Look how Russia and China handle online criticism.

‘scuse me? you just drop in from a different conversation?
