“And I think it’s very important to maybe use this tragedy as some kind of positive, try and get people to understand how to avoid these kinds of things in the future.”
The charge of manslaughter is a second-degree felony, and could mean up to 15 years behind bars.

Math ain’t my strong suit, but let’s see. If every household in a state has, well, multiple firearms, and if said state, like all states, has a certain number of idiots, immatures, insanes, and incompetents, how many of these here “tragedies” can we expect? I mean, go ahead and throw in suicidally depressed. That’s a lot of tragedies. What a sad and shocking fate for this noble defensive/sporting instrument.
All our gunniest states have immense numbers of suicides and immense, uh, misadventures like the one people in Utah are talking about, where some idiot brought out multiple loaded guns in the living room, surrounded by his family, and started showing off with them. Oh boohoo shot my kids head off I din mean it now can I go home?
No because, at some bloodsoaked point, accident bleeds into manslaughter.
I mean, this being Utah he’ll get a boys will be boys judge who will slap his wrists and free him to slaughter another family member and the state’s butcher bill will keep going up and up and up.

As my father said about a millions times, “There ain’t no such thing as an unloaded gun.”
