This is not the usual sort of thing I like to point out, but since it was close to home I thought I’d mention it .<\/p>\n

Johnnie Flow armed herself with a handgun last February, because she felt her family was being threatened. The gun was not legal, and apparently there was no attempt at safety training. <\/p>\n

Then, her 3 year old son go thold of the gun and shot her other kid, 2-year old Payton, in the stomach. <\/p>\n

Johnie says:<\/p>\n

“I’m not a bad mother,” Flow said. “Anybody who knows me knows my babies mean the world to me. That was just a freak accident.”\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Ah, Johnnie, sorry, no. You are a bad mother. That was not a freak accident. That was you having a loaded gun that was not locked away. You turned one of your kids into a victim of gun violence, and the other into a perp. That does not mean that you can’t be a good mother, but just saying that you are a good mother because you want it to be true is a stupid as leaving a loaded gun in reach of your toddlers. <\/p>\n

Also, you are reproducing too fast. Slow down. <\/p>\n

The victim was release from the hospital on Saturday. <\/p>\n
