I'm not a gun apologist by any means, but it should be noted that this is an alcohol story more than it is a gun story. This could just as easily have been a headline about a guy having 7 beers and then running over his daughter in a drunk driving incident.
I have no respect for alcohol, and the people who give up their entire lives to them. He drank 6 beers and decided handling a gun was the wisest choice. This guy is stupid, and should count himself lucky that he didn't kill anyone. Take away his children for their safety, and give him mandatory AA meetings if he wants to see them again. Give him harsh restrictions every time he drinks in the future.
I agree with this guy
He should also have his right to handle firearms permanently revoked.
