Dad accused of killing daughter while cleaning gun
MARYSVILLE, Wash. – A father arrested after his 6-year-old daughter was fatally shot in their Washington state home allegedly told authorities he had been drinking double shots of vodka while cleaning his guns.
Court papers say Richard Peters told detectives he had asked his daughter, Stormy, to bring him the .45-caliber handgun Sunday. He said he must have pulled the trigger, and the girl fell to the floor. She was pronounced dead Monday. [emphasis Murdoc's]
Rummell says it Sounds Fishy. He’s right, but I generally won’t attribute to evil intent what can be easily explained by pure stupidity.

I have a rather angry post up on this too, the guy needs his nuts and nipples hooks to a Sears Battery Charger… I have one…
This is NOT a 2nd amendment issue in MY opinion, this is a case that graphically illustrates that some people are too damned stupid to live, some people would die if breathing were not a reflex action, and this *father* is one of those individuals!
The *father* of this little girl was STUPID, and as Ron White is so fond of saying, you can’t FIX stupid!
