Found the dogs defense attorney
there are no qualifications for gun ownership in Nebraska.
only a 5 states require a license for a shot gun, in the form of a Firearms ID. They require no coursework on training.
Typically you only need to take a gun safety class if you are buying a handgun, and even then only a dozen states require that.
So everyone in Nebraska is an unqualified gun owner.
legally. they are qualified.
according to your feelings? i guess not.
That is a big part of the American Problem.
do you live in Nebraska? you are welcome to move there and participate in their politics and change the laws.
but I don't think you're interested in doing that.
She wasn't killed but your point stands: The headline, while obviously being clickbaity and maybe even trying to be funny hides the underlying problem:
Every law follows a necessitating incident. Why are people so stupid? I have a shotgun, and while it is loaded, I never had an inclination to keep it chambered for any reason.
That's what the dog wants you to think 🐕
