Oh it's another one of those morons that doesn't know the first 5 rules of gun ownership:

  1. Do not point a gun at something unless you intend to destroy it. The act of pointing a gun at something must always be treated as a statement of violent intent.

  2. Treat every gun as though it is currently loaded and ready to fire at all times, even if you have inspected it yourself and are 1000% confident it can't.

  4. Treat every gun as though it is currently loaded and ready to fire at all times, even if you have inspected it yourself and are 1000% confident it can't.

  5. Do not put your finger on the trigger of a gun unless the target is clear, the area behind the target is clear, your aim is stable, the safety is off, and you are ready to fire.

Yeah, even if it was an "accident", which it was not, he absolutely should be responsible. Nobody should own a gun, but if you do the entire responsibility is on you! Who's fault does he think it is? I hate these people so fucking much. Throw him in jail, accident or not he owned the gun, aimed it at her and that killed her. People have gone to jail for less, idk how anyone can justify him not getting anything for killing her.

Also don’t commit cold blooded murder, that’s also a very important rule for ownership of any type of weapon really.

Then we are in agreement. He consciously and willingly intended to shoot her.
