3-Year-Old Pulls a Loaded Gun Out of His Backpack at Daycare and It Belonged to a Cop

A 3-year-old pulled a loaded gun out of his backpack at daycare. The owner? His parent, a police officer. If a toddler can walk out of your house with a loaded pistol, you're not doing gun safety right. Period. Police say a daycare teacher spotted the weapon and grabbed it before anyone got hurt. The gun wasn't a service weapon but a personal firearm belonging to one of the child's parents, who is a police officer and has since been taken into custody. The daycare is now adding bag checks for toddlers. In this video I react to the story and answer the question of what should happen to the parent. At a minimum, I think they should lose the right to own a gun, and a cop who can't secure a firearm at home has no business carrying one on duty. Too many of these cases trace back to people who call themselves the biggest Second Amendment and gun safety advocates. I get the home defense catch-22 of a locked safe versus quick access, but no dilemma justifies a loaded weapon a 3-year-old can reach. Choose: the guns or the kids.
