Am I a bad person for thinking what I'm thinking?

Well, he won't do that again!

19 year old Deleon Smith had 2 daughters, ages 1 and 3.

Sad, but with small kids in the apartment, and he not being responsible enough to clear a gun before taking selfies, I believe it was just a matter of time before something else bad happened.

RIP

This is my camera,that is my gun.  This is the trigger, that Is the shutter button.
Don't get them mixed up
I do believe that the radical and crazy notion that the Founders meant what they said, is gradually soaking through the judicial system.

Investigators say Smith's cousin was in the apartment but in another room when it happened.

Police say that cousin told them it wasn't their gun, that they found it.

Obviously this gun is one of those assault pistols that kills people on its own.  The previous owner was probably found dead, and the pistol hid from view until Deleon walked by ...

In case you are unaware, the automatic answer when caught with something you know was stolen 99.999% of the time is, "I found that!"

apparently, he lacked training in the proper use of a belt along with basic gun safety.
