    That would be pretty hard for a thirteen-year-old to move forward from. I know I would have blamed myself at that age for killing my dad, even though it’s crazy that a loaded gun was in a shelf in reach of a kid, apparently without even the safety being on.

    Her predecessor was big on reducing gun deaths. I wonder what Nesheiwat’s views are, given that incident.

      Agreed - also, I appreciate your measured comment. I was worried that there would be people here dunking on this poor woman.

        Well, thank you. In full disclosure, my root assumption is that she’s horrible, just by virtue of the fact that Trump nominated her (has there been a single of his nominees who want objectively terrible?). I’m just a big proponent of judging people by the things the do and say, not accidents they were involved in as children or how silly their hair looks.
