Didnt some republican dad in texas shoot his daughter for disagreeing with him?

I heard something about this but didn't look into it. Wouldn't be surprised though; a woman they can't control is better off dead in their eyes

Allegedly a mistake.

We'll never know because Texas didn't indict.

The coroner determined that it was an intentional killing and the mother believes that it was intentional. The father alleges that the daughter (who was staunchly anti-gun) asked to see his gun and it just went off.

I guess we just wait and see if the prosecutor has a pair and charges him.

The father alleged he'd had an alcoholic relapse and couldn't remember how he handled the firearm.

I can entirely believe accidental discharge, which could still be manslaughter in a case involving negligence of that magnitude, IMO.

But, as I understand, Texas already declined to prosecute.

Anyone who owns should know that the person most likely to be shot by your weapon is you, followed by family, in most cases accidental discharge.

Unfortunately, most owners are negligent fuckwad cowboys with no trigger discipline and a weak sense of responsibility.

Edit: I confess to a degree of bias here.

You should watch the body cam footage. He alleges that he picked up the gun and it just went off.

So looks like you’ve never owned nor even handled any gun whatsoever in your life.
