The recent Walmart shootings have grabbed national attention, but the liberal media is conveniently ignoring another critical issue at the retail giant: the danger posed by irresponsible gun owners. Last week, a woman in southern Ohio allowed her 2-year-old son to access her 9mm firearm in her purse at a Walmart store, resulting in the weapon discharging and injuring the child. This shocking incident, exacerbated by the left’s push for lax gun laws, exemplifies the need for responsible firearm ownership and storage.

The Waverly Police Department, in response to this alarming event, emphasized the importance of heightened awareness and safety measures when it comes to firearms. The woman, whose name wasn’t released, now faces a child endangerment charge, as she should. It’s a travesty that she failed to secure her firearm properly, putting her own child and other shoppers at risk.
This careless act underscores the urgent need for responsible gun ownership, especially in environments where children are present. The left’s refusal to address the root of the issue—irresponsible firearm handling—only perpetuates these preventable tragedies. It’s time for the liberal agenda to stop enabling negligent gun owners and start focusing on real solutions to prevent such incidents in the future.
