    Jesus, this just gets worse the more you read it…

    “Ramos-Jimenez was convicted in 2021 of transporting and/or trafficking narcotics, according to court documents. He’s barred from having a firearm”

    “he bought the AR-style rifle “through a private sale for personal protection,””

    “Ramos-Jimenez said he stored his weapon “in the top shelf of his son’s bedroom,””

    “he was out front of his Phoenix home Tuesday night when he heard a loud bang inside”

    “he and his girlfriend rushed the little girl to a psychiatric center to meet an ambulance.”

    “He said he dropped off his daughter and girlfriend and then drove back home where his children had been left unattended with the gun,”

    so, he said he stored his weapon “in the top shelf of his son’s bedroom,”

    and he was a felon so not allowed to have any firearms so administratively, the kids death was entirely preventable, but it’ll happen again and again and again ad nauseum
