I understand what you’re saying but this person obviously has a history of abuse. You escalate up to shooting a kid, you don’t start there. In the same morning she’d shoe-slapped the kids (4 and 7) for not waking her (!?!) and eating food! Not having laws (or not enforcing them) prohibiting abusive people from owning firearms is a firearms issue. Obviously the “teaching” excuse is bullshit, it was murder, but not having a gun in the house could have at least forced her to use a less-certain method.
