I feel like that's not a valid thing to say. "My dog shot the gun".

I'm sure it won't hold up in court, but it also doesn't hold up anywhere else. Don't keep your guns loaded with the safety off where they are accessible.

You might as well just shoot your family and neighbors yourself if you're doing that shit.

America is fucking broken when it comes to guns. Like I get that they are emotional support toys for some people, but keeping it locked and loaded is absolute idiocy that way too many people defend.

This person obviously relied heavily on the "my dog ate my homework" excuse to get them through school and thought it might work here too.

Well, to be fair, it was ChatGPT that told the dog it was ok to shoot.

Might as well add another layer of unaccountability.
